CURRENT MISSION

I'm convinced that there's still hope for humankind and I try to help somehow to make that real (:

ABOUT ME

Heey!! my name is Felipe, I'm 24 yeras old. I'm from Santiago, Chile. I joined this site cause I'm very sociable and find really interesting to get along with people from other cultures.
I'm a happy person, I enjoy life and having a good time. I'm really open minded and have a great sense of humor and I also enjoy talking with happy people with sense of humor ;)
I like to party, dance and gather with friends. Sometimes I prefer to stay at home quietly reading, playing guitar watching tv or something else.
I study medicine and I hope to become a doctor someday, do some volunteering with medic without borders or anything similar. I think is the best payment for the soul.
I like to play the guitar. I play in a band and i love music, reading, and art in general.
I work part-time as DJ and waiter. (yeah I manage to have some spare time haha)
During my free time (the little rest of it) I like to play basketball, go to the gym or running. I love sports. I think playing a sport also teach you lessons about life.

some other random facts and things I would like to do someday:

- I like going to the cinema (especially if the movie deserves it)

- I have 6 guitars (2 acoustic, 4 electric). They don't have names but some people have been jealous of them ...

PHILOSOPHY

- work for living not living for working
- In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away. (Shiong Xiong)
- It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.. how much you can take! and keep moving forward.. that's how winning is done! (Rocky Balboa)
- Mas vale ser el protagonista de la tragedia, que espectador de la propia vida
- Carpe Diem (:
