Carlos Reola

I am a balance of old school with a modern twist. A one day happy the next day sad person who loves excitement and thrills but fear many things so I try to weigh things before it happens because I dislike disappointments and frustrations it sucks the life out of me that in short I'm a normal human being. I like to inspire people of what I do and share them my life experiences and in return learn from their life story as well. I am not a you only live once kind of guy but I worship living life to the fullest. I fail most of the time but I make sure I learn from it. I'm committed to my life's passion that is why I'm a work in progress and pushes myself to what I can do.

I was born on July 19, 1990 in Makati, Manila. The eldest child of Mrs. Mary and Mr. Leo James Reola. My mother works as a real estate broker while my father is a chief cook in shipping company and I have five younger siblings after me with three brothers and two sisters.

My hobbies are reading online articles and blogs, cooking, biking, singing, watching movies and listening to feel good music. I’m not an athletic person as I am not good with physical demanding activities but I would love to try football and surfing. I am more of a strategist player that is why I like RPG than team sports.

My interests are Photography, Animation, Typography, Web Design and Motion Graphics and I'm knowledgeable in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Dreamweaver and Cinema4D.

**Early Years**

As a young child we used to live in my grandparents’ house in Makati which sits beside the now known Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. I spent my days like almost every kid, playing tag and other street games, running, biking and climbing trees. When my parents decided to move out, they decided to live in Lipa City, Batangas in 1994 because of the climate and its proximity to my aunt’s residence.

**Education**

I took my pre elementary education (1995-1997) at Kinetic Intelligence Development System (K.I.D.S) which was located in Villa Lourdes, Lipa City (now Dreamland Arts & Crafts Cafe and The Yard). I entered De La Salle Lipa after finishing my pre elementary level and there I finished levels 1 to 5 (1997-2001) then was transferred at La Purisima Concepcion Academy in Mataasnakahoy Batangas on my 6th grade (2003) and finished the rest of my secondary education in the year 2007.

I took B.S. Electronics Engineering in AMA Computer College Lipa in 2007 to 2010 and became the secretary of AMA Computer College Engineering Students Society from 2009-2010 then transferred by 2011 in De La Salle Lipa and took Certificate in Information Technology. After graduating the certificate program I took AB Multimedia Arts as I wanted to pursue my dreams to become a digital artist and a visual effects artist.
