About The Geek Girl

Hi! My name is Lia Amanda Espina and I’m proud to be a GEEK! *wave*

My earliest memory of geek-ness was a vague memory of myself holding an Atari controller when I was probably around 3 or 4 years old. Then at 7 years old my dad introduced me to the great world of XT computers, and everything just went from there.

Now I’m fully embracing my geek-ness!  I am currently a contributor for ForeverGeek (I have a weekly column there called WoWeekly) and Apple Gazette under Splashpress Media.

I guess I could say I’m happiest when in front of a computer, just surfing about the latest tech news all over the world (Japan most especially!), Facebooking, Twittering, Plurking, blogging and of course (how can I forget) playing World of Warcraft!

Before you start thinking that I’m some kind of an anti-social hermit with no friends aside from little pixels running all over my computer screen, I do have other activities like yoga, shopping and drinking with friends (yes, real life human friends!)

About the Website
I used to write for The Gadgenista and I felt a little restrained from writing about anything and everything under the sun. The Gadgenista used to be an international blog that caters more to US readers so writing about geeky things in the Philippines seemed a little out of place. So, aside from gadgets, I actually wanted to have a venue where I could write about the other aspect of geekiness from animes to books to geeky tv shows, etcetera!

And hence, the birth of Geek Girl Manila!
