As a Chef and a content creator, he spends most of his time researching “what’s new and something fun to execute.” Gerick elaborated,
“Lately, I’ve been doing some ASMR cooking. I recently uploaded some of my samples on YouTube and Instagram accounts. I mean it’s really fun to find what drives you to be creative, the final output will always be the reward for it especially when you’re able to produce how you want it to be.”

“I’ve always had this fascination with food even when I was a little boy, I’d watch my mother cook whenever she prepares home-cooked meals for us. I was very eager to learn.”
