"Magaling ako sa pagaaral pero hindi ako nerd." That's how Mikee, the Atenista of PBB Teens, describes himself. He has discovered early on that he has a natural gift for numbers but he has not only focused himself on books. "Mahilig din po talaga ako sa sports like sa basketball. Di ko rin naman po nakakalimutan makipagsocialize, pumupunta din ako di lang sa fair naming sa school, nakikikapitbahay din ako sa ibang school fairs." Mikee prides himself as an achiever though his grades never going below the 93 mark. He is also part of the advance math and science classes, which only has 12 students from the whole high school.
He used to resent his father's strict ways but now he understands why his dad always pushed him to study hard. "Dati hindi niya ako pinapa-review or pinapagawa ng homework magisa. Tinututukan niya ako. Na realize ko ngayon dinidiscipline niya lang ako. Para sa akin din ang lahat ng iyon. Thankful ako sa kanya." He also thanks his teachers for shaping him to what he is now. He remembers what Mr. Jose Pagsanjan his English teacher taught him. "Pinush niya sa tamang direction ang buhay ko. Na-inspire niya ako in a way na alam kong ano man ang pagtrabahuhan ko, lahat ng pasukan ko, gaya nitong Pinoy Big Brother dapat may ibalik ako sa community." Before he viewed Big Brother's House as one big vacation on TV. "Parang ang sarap tumira sa bahay ni Kuya. Marami kang makikilala, matututunan, tapos para ka pang role model na makikilala ng mga tao. Dati naghahanap ako ng justification na sumali dito na hindi lang para sa akin, gusto kong tumulong sa ibang tao. Matagal na akong naniniwala na marami akong matutulungan na tao. Naisip ko pwede naman ngayon di ba?"
And amidst all that Mikee still has the time for love on his to-do list. "Nagka-first love na ako," he admitted shyly. "Wala pa akong naging girlfriend. Hanggang MU (mutual understanding) lang." He believes in saving oneself for marriage but when the right girl comes along all that would matter in the end for this genius is their love for one another.
