About James Christian AUTENTICO Sunga 

I am a chronic hobbyist. As a child, I avoided hobbies due to fear of the expensive costs, but it was a deeper fear of failure.
I lost self-confidence after moving from the Philippines to San Francisco, where everything changed– the people, culture, and surroundings were all unfamiliar. It took me such a long time—eleven years and a pandemic—to regain my confidence, which helped me rediscover my old self and embrace new experiences without fear of failure. Now, I live by the saying "I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure." I now see these challenges as strengths that set me apart.

With this new sense of self-confidence, I always find ways to be helpful in any environment or task. When faced with something unfamiliar, I leverage what I know and adapt it to the situation, while also learning how to tackle it properly for the future. My distinct experiences and perspectives give me an edge, offering a fresh outlook and a skill set that others may not possess, making me a bit of a dark horse.
