ABOUT DAVE JAY

(This piece was written by my colleagues in Lakandiwa, University of Cebu's official student publication. I hope you'll like it. But I'll still be writing more about myself (a brief autobiography would do), including matters that would reveal the inner thoughts of my self...within.)

DAVE JAY Perez OLVENARIO, who started as underdog among the publication’s trainees, is now a fulfilled Senior Editor for Literary Folio of Lakandiwa.

His aspirations are not out of his reach because he is an intelligent person by nature. He proved this by being the undisputed topnotcher of the College of Criminal Justice—University of Cebu (Main Campus), for two straight academic years. Perseverance is the word carved in his mind that is why he never loses passion for his studies and writing.

He has an average height of 5’6” and a weight of a lightweight boxing champ – 130 lbs. God sent him to this world through Amelita and Antonio. Aside from being a busy member of the publication, he is also the incumbent President of the Criminal Justice Society, the official student body of the University of Cebu--College of Criminal Justice, and also the Majority Floor Leader of the University Of Cebu Council Of Presidents. He also serves as the chief for administration in their school’s Intern’s Office. Also a religious person, he once served as Youth Director of Lighthouse Christian Fellowship. Dave is a serious type of person when it comes to his studies, yet he is a bit jokey when dealing with friends.

Dubbed as the publication’s “Word Digger”, he truly jots down hell-like depth words in his articles. That may be the upshot of his incessant appraisal of the book “Speed Well Voyage” and of the works of Manuel L. Quezon III. Dogs and cats are the animals he wants to give tender love and care with. For him, nothing could ever beat the ebony and ivory colors and the taste of sweet-and-sour curry pork.

CSI, Smallville and SOCO are his much-loved TV programs. He enjoys the movie The 300, and he fantasizes the perfect 36-24-36 figure of Jessica Alba. His favorite actors are Mark Dacascus and Jason Statham. His eardrums tingle every time he hears the song "Your Call," of the "Second Hand Serenade". He likes to pop the track and bring the house down with the “playas and da niggas” like 50 Cent and Jay Z.

Truly not a second-rate, he has sky-scraping dreams which are to top the Criminology Board Licensure Examination (CBLE) and to become the next chief of the Philippine National Police.
