ABOUT ME

Eu tenho uma descrição de perfil em portugués abaixo da descrição inglesa :).
-----------------------------------------------
English:
-------------------------------------
There came a time in my life where I decided life was too short not to be lived up to it's fullest. I'm not saying I live every moment to it's fullest but it's definitely the aspiration. I endeavour to take the time to appreciate the people and things that are really important to me and that I care about.

I feel that one of the greatest way of appreciating life is to lubricate it with laughter. I love to laugh. I love to be made to laugh but I'm fully ready and able to laugh at my own jokes if no one else gets them.

Traveling was my sweetheart for the longest time but I'm about building roots these days. I've been to 18 different countries and speak five languages. I'm not saying that I wouldn't love to travel some more and get to know more of this beautiful world we live in but my priorities have changed.

I care about my body. It's my connection to life. Life is a sacred gift. More like a loan really. I want to keep fit and healthy. I don't smoke, don't really drink - though I don't care if you do, try to eat well and exercise.

I've been doing courses and Jams in Contact Improv dance since October of 2012. I love it. I would try to explain you what it is but it would be just so much easier to show you a video (no, I'm not as good as they are but who knows, maybe one day... :): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED8hNoulZv4

I love swimming. I really love swimming. Being in the water is amazing. I love biking. I love photography (my portfolio: http://www.racyphotos.co.nr )... and I would LOVE to not say the word "love" again for at least another 5 sentences.

Give me some sort of technological toy or challenge and I am a very happy camper.Sometimes, I can be very very detail oriented. I'll think things through from 20 different angles. Sometimes it's great, it makes for great work full of passion with great results. Sometimes, it leads to stagnation.

====================================

Eu nasci no Libanao e mudei para o Canada quando tive 8 anos. Eu falo Inglês, Francês, Arabe, um pouco de Espanhol e um poco de Portugues. Eu trabalho com tecnologia da informação no Canada. Já terminei o meu Bacharelado da Engenheiria ao faculdade de McGill ao Montreal, Canada.

Eu adoro a fotografia. Tem algumas das minhas fotos na internet aqui:

Eu gosto de: cosinhar, gosto de festa, dancar, escutar musica, rir e brincar com os meus amigos, mas eu nao bebo, nao fumo e uso drogas.

Eu adoro nadar, adoro agua, adoro o mar!!!

Desde 19 anos eu tem uma curiosidade grande para conhecer o Mundo e as suas culturas e naturesa: eu ja conheço partes da Australia, Asia, Médio Oriente e Europa. Durante 6 meses de 2009, eu fiz carona do sul do Mexico ate Tijuana, atraves do litoral oeste do Estados Unidos e atraves do Canada para voltar a Montréal...

Interests

Photography (my portfolio is up on: www.racyphotos.co.nr ). The survival of our sweet friends the environment and Planet Earth which would insure our own survival as a species since we kind of need air to breath, water to drink, predictable climate to grow our crops yada-yada-yada and so on... Human and civil rights (do nothing onto others that you would not like to see done onto thee). Aboriginal and Native rights. Biking. Cooking. Eating. Dancing. Music. Playing Video Games. Reading. Taking apart my computer and making it do my laundry, even if doing my laundry myself takes 100 times less time then configuring my computer to do it for me...
