Peak Support Q&A: Carlos Cornista

Carlos or C2 as he is fondly called at Peak Support, is a sweet and family-oriented young man. He lists Christmas as his favorite holiday, not so much for the gifts, but more so because it brings his family together. Carlos isn’t too particular about where to go for a vacation, as long as he’s with his loved ones. The one food that he will never get tired of eating would be Laing (Pinangat) – a Filipino meal from the Bicol region. After a long day at work, you’ll usually find Carlos either sleeping or watching a movie on Netflix. He hopes to one day see Michael Buble and John Legend in concert. An interesting fact about Carlos? He doesn’t like any nuts in his ice cream. Read the latest edition of the Peak Support Q&A blog now and get to know Carlos even more.

Where is the scariest place you’ve ever walked or driven passed by?

I can’t think of a specific location. But one of the things that really scare me are abandoned houses. Walking past empty and dark houses creeps me out. It feels like something or someone is watching me.

What is your dream job?

To be a businessman. I took up a Bachelor of Science degree in Entrepreneurship back when I was in college just so that I would be with my friends. Eventually, I fell in love with the course and it made me dream of becoming a successful businessman someday.

I think that the only person who you can trust that would always be honest to you, is you. Anyone can I lie to you; white lie or regular lie. The most important thing is that you’re true to yourself.

Switzerland. Because I’ve read somewhere that it’s one of the best places for road trips and it’s also one of the places I dream of traveling to.

What will you never do again?

I can’t think of something. Maybe because I seldom use the word “never.” But the thing that I avoid doing is buying something that I don’t need.

I believe I’m a loving and caring, but stubborn son.

Unlock my phone and watch another episode of whatever TV series I’m currently following.

Which past event do you enjoy reminiscing about?

Maybe somewhere in Baguio (called the “City of Pines,” is a mountain town in the Philippines) would be nice. I wouldn’t want to grow old in another country, and Baguio City is the coldest place in the Philippines.
