Originally a catharsis project for a high school psychology class, this assignment for David turned into quite an entertaining video. Having been booted from a previous catharsis performing team, David was forced to perform solo. He had only a couple of days to come up with an idea and did so at the very last minute. Singing, dancing, and acting to a medley of songs (Britney Spears' Toxic, Westlife's Uptown Girl & When You're Like That, Achy Breaky Heart, Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, Disney's Kiss the Girl, and NSync's Bye Bye Bye) he made some of the best memories of his life through this unrehearsed and somewhat spur of the moment performance. It turned out to be quite a comical and impressive spectacle, to say the least. David is a half American half Filipino who attended Rice University in Texas for a little more than a year and has dropped out. He is now moving out of the country to become a nomad in the Philippines. He is currently dirt poor and scraping pennies (or centavos) just to buy bare necessities like food and water. He tries to maintain a web site ( http://coconuter.blogspot.com/) in order to earn some of his food money. He aspires of hitting it big one day in the Philippines somehow or some way. But for now, he's just a dirt poor person wandering in a third world country with just some knowledge, talent, and faith to guide the way.

  • you are a true filipino!i admire u so much...you showed to filipinos that US is not a paradise that everybody thought. iba pa rin ang pinas!

  • hey mr coconuter iam so amazed and proud of u

  • i think he just wants to try something new, or he wants to try something that he imagined, to feel the actuality of it. and i also think that that is the reason why he cried. it's because he experienced the reality of it; the pain, hunger, helplessness, vulnerability of being ACTUALY poor.
