CURRENT MISSION
growing an epic beard.. and becoming an architect sometime.

ABOUT ME
calm, pensive, eager, cheerful, kind, tolerant, curious, creative, helpful, silent, perfectionist, understanding, observant, receptive, open-minded, coherent, casual..
but perhaps, the best way to get to know more about me is to check out my blog.

PHILOSOPHY
The only philosophy/religion/ideology I believe in is hedonism. And as any dedicated believer would do, I always look forward to having new disciples *evil laugh* Join us, and make the most out of your life!

ps: not to be mixed with the so-called "hedonism resorts". this is the
real deal.
