My real name is Michael A. Mastelero but friends do call me Mike. I was born December 5th, 1975 at Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. I'm the 7th among 8.

My dad's Alfredo B. Mastelero, Jr. and my mom's Virginia A. Mastelero. The family members are Ruby Gallipanni, Irene Mombay, Erma, Freddie, Frederick, Lilet, me, and Hanna.

Currently, I have 2 Italian nieces from Ruby, Alyssa and Bianca, Nathaniel Alfred from Irene, and Kathryn, Kristine, and Nikki from my brother, Frederick.

As you can see, we're quite a big family and actually, we're scattered across the globe. Ruby and Bruce Gallipanni lives in New Jersey, Irene and Nathan Mombay lives in New South Wales, Australia. My brother Freddie and his wife Fe also lives in Australia.

 

The nick that I'm using when chatting, Figgy, is a not-so-famous Disney character that you'll find at Epcot Center, named Figment often together with Dreamfinder. Figment's a creature that's got 2 tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of steer, but a lovable fellow...from head to tail, he's royal purple pigment. I chose this nick because I like to be just a "figment" of one's imagination. I can be whatever you want me to be. And can handle almost any kind of conversation you wish.

You can usually find me at Quarterdeck's #Jeepney channel (IRCNet: irc.qdeck.com:6667). But at the moment, Quarterdeck's down so #Jeepney have moved to Starchat (server: irc.starchat.net, shadow.starchat.net, webmaster.starchat.net, port: 6667). I usually use the nick Figgy. To chat, you need a chat client such as Pirch or mIRC.

It's a very cool chat room, actually. Though it's mostly populated by Filipino chatters. This is where I found most of my chat friends.

 

I am currently working as a production manager of a local Philippine all-female band called Prettier Than Pink. The band is composed of 5 female members, all playing their respective instruments, that have exceptional energy and voice.

The lead singer and lead guitar is Lei, Pam's in guitar also, Jennifer for bass guitar, Marge for the keyboards and Sheila for the drums.

The show schedule of Prettier Than Pink is also posted in the news section of my home page.

Aside from being a production manager, I also do stage management. These kind of work requires extended hours of duty as well as a very tight schedule.

Though I have no problem with this since I started working at an early age.

I also help friends with regards to computer hardware and software and, obviously, web page development. So if you neet help with anything, please do e-mail me and let's see what we can come up with.
