David “Coconuter” Eric Poarch

We’re totally in love with David Eric Poarch aka The Coconuter, no less ‘cos he could easily pass off as a Freshmen or CorbinFisher model (doesn’t he resemble Cody/Andy Honda/Britton a lil?).
The half-American and half-Filipino left a promising future in the USA to live the simple life in the Philippines. While most Filipinos dream of leaving the country for a greener pasture abroad, he purposely “jumped off the bridge” to find his niche and purpose in life. Armed with his digital camera, he maintains a blog-cum-travelogue-cum-diary at Adventures of the Cocunuter where he proves that much can be discovered when one has little.

The video (taken when he was still in school in the States) above is a result of an assignment he did for his Psychology class (project was on Catharsis, but we’re not quite sure what form of relief that served for David. Hey, whatever floats your boat right?). David sings off-key for the most part, and we admit some parts did make us cringe. God knows what Simon Cowell will say of it? But it’s apparent from this video that he’s a boy who ain’t afraid to give it all he’s got. We applaud his spirit.
More videos after the jump.
