The tasks that I do here at Wikipedia vary. Sometimes, I'll clean up the articles in the Category:Filipino television series and articles pertaining to Filipino pop culture (probably because these articles are the ones with the most Wikipedia policy violations, LOL). I also participate in editing of Filipino news articles, most notably the 2006 Southern Leyte mudslide and the 2006 state of emergency in the Philippines articles. Or, probably update some Filipino sports articles.
How I discovered Wikipedia
This is the story of my life in cyberspace. This doesn't hold true in my offline life.
Howard was at first an inactive member of USTEx. In fact, his first post was a rant pertaining to the online classroom system of UST. Howard grew fond of USTEx, until his post grew by the hundreds. Due to his addiction to USTEx, he volunteered himself to be a forum moderator. He moderated the Flicks, TV and Music forum, and later on the Sports, Health and Beauty forum. He even participated in eyeballs
(wherein the moderators meet up), in this case, Howard went to the Blast 4 consortium where he and his co-mods participated in the so-called "Big 4" school-based internet message boards.
Howard had a pleasant experience in USTEx until he was accused of being constantly off-topic. Although Howard admits that he may be off-topic, he was even accused of having a sock puppet (unproven, up to now), a serious accusation especially in the world of the Internet. The final straw was when he replied in a flamebait post, wherein he was engaged in a vicious exchange of replies and was ultimately banned from the website (he was previously stripped of his moderating powers without his consent) on 22 December 2005.
MTC
Howard, at the advice of his friend , registered in MTC. Although his intentions of registering were of carnal nature, MTC quickly developed into a reputable website wherein anyone can talk about anything. He is now presently an active member of the Sports and Hobbies and of the TV, Movies and Plays fora. He also posts several pictures at the VIP Pictures forum.
Howard enjoys writing about himself in the third person. This gives an air of objectivity to what might otherwise seem subjective or even boastful. By writing in this style, Howard gives tacit permission to others to edit his user page - something that is otherwise considered as "badform" in Wikipedia.
Articles
These are some of the articles I've spent time editing:
All reality show contestants should be deleted and/or merged to the appropriate season/TV program article, even if that page becomes long and even if they win, except when the WikiProject recommends for a separation of contestants' articles.
All barangay articles should be merged to the mother city, and all mention of them in dab pages and redirects should be deleted.
Historical Filipinos born before the 19th century.
