About Me

line

Google my name “Wendy Ang” and the search will return more than 40,000 results. Since I own most results on the first page – Google Images, Twitter, Linked In, a post about my speaking engagement last 2009, etc. Now, can I say that I’m the most famous Wendy Ang on the Internet?

WHO AM I?

No, I’m not an action star. Besides, I’m too short to be one. On second thought, I am an inch taller than Danny Devito, who played as Penguin in Batman Returns, so maybe I have a chance to be one.

I love Italian bikes. I own a Vespa ET4 and as you can see from the photo, a Ducati Monster that almost looks the same as Brad Pitt’s Ducati.

I’m not a really good rider. I don’t ride my monster as much because its too heavy for me. I just want the attention I’m getting when I’m riding it. The ride is as scary as its name. It shoots up to more than 100kph in seconds and the wind pushes my body away from the bike at this speed. On the other hand, I love riding my Vespa especially when there’s heavy traffic.

A Dog Lover

I own and care for 7 dogs. I used to spend my time with just 1 dog – Mica. But she fell in love and had unwanted pregnancy and gave birth to 7 Shih Tzu puppies in 1 go. Now Mica, me and all her puppies stay under 1 roof, with the exception of her eldest who is living with my mom in Quezon City.

Mica + 7 pups give color to my life. Especially whenever one of them eats their poop. They give me the color red = WAR = angry face and sometimes green = puke face .

Entrepreneur and Geek in Me

I started selling at the age of 7 and got a minor offense from school because of being entrepreneurial. I used to buy bars of clay using my school allowance, slice them into several pieces and sell the smaller pieces at a lower cost for a profit. I was punished by our SP (School Police) because she caught me selling. Note: This is not where I got my minor offense from.

From clays, to jack stones, to antique garfield figurines (this is where I got my minor offense from), I am now selling websites!

Growing up, I had a liking towards tech so I took up Computer Science in college. In 2001, I graduated from De La Salle University with a B.S. degree in Computer Science and a specialization in Software Technology. Sounds heavy and high-tech, eh?

Several Machine Projects later (a.k.a. MP, if you’re not from Planet Goks, you won’t be able to relate to this), I now own a couple of companies that utilize my skills and knowlege – an internet marketing company focusing on Web Design, SEO and flash games, a mobile app development firm that produces iPhone, iPad and Android apps, a small design agency for print collaterals, and several internet-based start-ups (that hopefully won’t bust like a dot-com bubble).

Photographer and Wanderlust

Curiosity may kill the cat but I’m human and not a cat so I don’t care if I’m always curious. I will forever be curious about different cultures, food, music and of course, girls! My curiosity has made me a wanderlust so my feet has been taking me almost everywhere. You might want to checkout my Travel category to see where I am traveling to. Every year, I visit 3 new places I’ve never been to  but my goal is to stay in Manila for 3 months every year and stay outside the country for the rest of the year – living and learning.

Since I’m a wanderlust, you can guess that  my forte in photography is travel. This is a very expensive hobby – lens at least $1k, tripod at least $200, filters at least $80 each, not to mention plane tickets, hotel rooms, etc. But traveling made me more creative and has widened my perspectives in life. You can checkout my travel photo collections here. A bunch of travel guides can be found on my other blog – the budget traveler.

Thank you for your interest about my life. I don’t eat my poop like our puppies, I just smell them like how Mica does (joke!).
