DavidVGonzales.com is a blog about gadgets, making money online, and living in the Philippines. So obviously, David Gonzales (the author) is a writer, who writes about gadgets, making money online, and living in the Philippines.

Congratulations for making it this far into my blog! I bet you’re rubbing your eyes right now and thinking, “I’ve already wasted enough time (2 minutes?) sifting through all the non-sense. This better be good!”

So OK, I won’t waste any more of your time (2 MINUTES???). I’m just here to tell you who I am, what I do, where I go when I’m bored, and a few other things that confirm I’m just a simple human being like you (even though I can’t hide my evil, angelic smile and hypnotic brown eyes).

I’d like to welcome you to my blog and thank you very much for allowing me to pollute your fragile little mind with my views and opinions regarding matters of public concern (?). I sincerely want to express my appreciation by thanking you personally, but to keep you from performing any legal actions against me, I’ll channel my unconditional love towards creating this pointless About Me page instead.

I sometimes pretend that I am Steven Spielberg and do video coverages for my friends’ weddings. (Channeling Quentin Tarantino wouldn’t be a good idea.) Now, if its one thing I notice is that these churches sure charge a hefty fee for the event.

See how much the churches make annually.
