About Me
I am scared that I’ll eventually leave this world, early, and be forgotten so I made this blog to record my life on earth because the Internet is forever.
Hello, I am Angelo Gianan Cruz, my friends call me Gelo/Gian while my parents call me Long. My pronouns are he/him. I live in Taytay, a small town in the province of Rizal. I was born in February 2002, the year of the Water-Horse. Currently, I am a 3rd-year college student at the University of the Philippines Los Baños, taking up BS Chemical Engineering. I took the course because I dreamt of becoming a scientist and contributing to the advancements in the field of renewable energy.
