About ITGcafe

ITG is an internet shop without the gastronomical pleasures of a cafe'. It is a shop that is fondly called a cafe' even without serving coffee for it caters mostly to the visual and mental pleasures of online games, school research, important communications and less of cyber chatting.
ITG started in the garage of MJ's humble abode with only one expensive IBM-branded pc in 2001. Thus, ITG literally means "In The Garage".
ITG's official business name is "Internetan sa Tierra Grande"- a local lingo for Tierra Grande Internet (renamed to ITG INTERNET CAFE' (ITGCAFE.COM) in March 2015). Tierra Grande is the name of our small village in Lawaan Talisay city, Cebu, Philippines. This is where ITG is currently located.
ITG updates every week and upgrades its computers every few months to cater to the highly demanding needs of the gaming enthusiasts.
ITG is wholly-owned and managed by MJ.
Branded as "the expert" by former employer and newspaper editor (Thank you, Sir PAS!), MJ is the brain and brawn behind ITG's tidbits and bigbytes. Though boyish in style and feared mostly by men, this geek is drop dead slim, sexy and smart (so I thought :).
Envied by women, scammed several times mostly by men, fellow male technicians and engineers before venturing into serious self-study and breaking the barrier of the once pedominant technological world of men.
Spent years honing skills from simple html coding of own websites to breaking down and building up computers to even being electrified a dozen times in the midst of electrical computer mishaps. [itgcafe.com Index]

About the admin, MJ

Who cares to know?
No one's interested to know more of a stranger than anybody's stranger. And no one's interested to know more of me than I myself! We all are strangers even to our own self. The people we call friends are just a reflection of our own self - if not the exact opposite but who cares to know if I exist or not?
In terms of financial resources, I'm practically poor. In matters of the heart, I'm rich!!! But in reality I'm just a simple, petite Aquarian with a lot of complicated thoughts. Born in the pacific island of Surigao, south of the Philippines. Raised in the hustle and bustle of Cebu. More interested in the Philosophia --- the serious, funny, fine, rough, blue, and the grey shades of life.
I consider myself more of a thinker (be it deep or superficial, good or bad, no one ever gets imprisoned with bad thoughts anyway), than a chatter or a writer. I only knew of one person who was imprisoned and poisoned for good thougths -- Socrates.
I know one thing -- Friends come and go. No matter how much I hate, love remains rooted in my heart. When I go with younger people, I look and feel younger. When I go with older people, I grow wiser. Life is good. Feels good to be free. Enjoy each breathing moment by loving one's self first.
When you need to talk to someone about computers or life in general, talk to me. I could be your mom when you need a counsel. I could be a friend when you need a hand. I could be a geek when you need someone to fix your pc. I could be a kid to play with your games.
Perhaps, I could be anyone but a stranger you seemed to know for a long time. There is much more to learn from each other and from life itself but first you need to remember, my name is MJ. No, not Michael Jackson, not Michael Jordan but Maryjane.
By the way, I am also a certified BITCH = "Being In Total Control of Herself"

The Men I Admire: Michael Jordan for his talent, Enrique Iglesias for his eyes and sexy music, Prince William for his smile, Pierce Brosnan for his body and good looks. The geeks and the techs.
My most memorable: Was adjudged Miss English in High School for reasons not based on beauty.
My most embarrassing: Was a contestant in extemporaneous speaking. While on stage, my eyes caught the stare of my "crush" who was seated at the audiences' front row. The stare eventually got me tongue-tied.
My most notable: Was exempted in History class not because I was brilliant or dumb but because I was obliged to read daily, dozens of newspapers and information materials for a "general information" inter-school contest which my teammate and I won. Bravo to our coach Ms. T !
My most unforgettable: It was in High School. I was 16, my male English teacher was 28. I had asked him why he always keep me in charge of all English class activities. He didn't respond right there and then but after 5 minutes and in front of the noisy class, he told me "because i like you". There was a deafening silence when all my classmates looked at me. I looked down, blushing and wishing i had never asked.
My most unexpected: April 7, 2011 - I recieve an unexpected text message from a handsome, grade-school crushmate who divulged his age-old secret affections on me. I never had a clue then that he was eyeing me and was stalking me like am some kind of a celebrity. [itgcafe.com Index]

"No matter how far the journey leads you to,
how many strangers you've met, loved and lost,
you always go back to the ones who are close to your heart,
leaving footprints that linger in your memory."
