About

“De Guia” means The Guide. Not a guide. The guide. Bold? Maybe. Accurate? We’ll see.

This isn’t a niche blog. It’s a controlled burn of whatever happens to be rattling around in my head—finance theories, fashion takes, car culture, sports logic (or lack thereof), politics, rants, leadership lessons, parenting wins and losses, startup ideas I may or may not pursue, and the occasional existential shrug.

I’m a Filipino-American who spent most of his life in the Bay and now calls LA home. That means I come with perspective, some mileage, and a low tolerance for fluff.

There’s no master plan here—just real thoughts, sharp angles, and a refusal to write like I’m trying to sell you something. If that sounds like your kind of guide, you’re in the right place. If not, there are plenty of blogs about minimalism and mushroom coffee waiting for you elsewhere.
