About Me!
Hello! My name is Luis Gabriel, I also have 2 last names, and sometimes
my friends and family call me Gaby and/or Gabz, and the very very
old friends may still call me Luisga. I am a tired Dad of two girls
and a photography and video games enthusiast, I sometimes even blog
about them. I am from an Island called Puerto Rico, currently living in
the United States of America, in the State of Idaho.ย
Besides
being a professional procrastinator, I am a scientist at heart. I've
worked for over 5 years in a Biotechnology Company as a Biochemist and
currently working in agriculture for a Vegetable Seed Company doing
Genetic Purity QC stuff.
About this site.
I started this blog around 2016-17. At first, it was called Two Beers and a Marley, then in 2018, it became Gabz/mL after my second kid was born. It has been hosted in many places over the years, including WordPress, and Micro.blog, Ghost, Weblog, and now, Scribbles.
In this blog, I write basically about anything and everything that
tickles my fancy. My thoughts, stories, things I like (hopefully nothing
about what I donโt like), and whatever is on my mind, but I mainly do it
for my own enjoyment. I have always wanted a place where I can express
myself, talk about things that interest me, and at the same time, have a
โsiteโ that I can call my own and so, here we are.
