About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

1. I'm a big dog lover (my favorite breed of dog is Dushchhound - the cutest short legs hot dog!)
Also i love elephants, horses, giraffe ... They are smart and super cute.
2. I'm active and outgoing especially with friends around. Libra - love hanging out with people
3. I'm friendly and hospitably. never mind to share food with friends.
4. I'm curious and outspoken, always asking questions to learn and share at the same time.
5. I'm faithful to the relationship because i' m honest to people. I prefer long lasting relationship with good friends.
6. I love traveling, and go sight seeing. I enjoy the great view of nature, astonishing beauty of architectures, and interesting cultural differences.
7. I love food - well, a little big chocoholic. I have a sweet tooth.
8. I love outdoor activities, including snowboarding, river tracing (gorge exploring), rock climbing, mountain climbing, kayaking... i would love to try some other cool activities if there's a chance.
9. I try to be clean and neat. I try to vacuum clean and mop my home as often as i can. I reorganize my closet, study room, and work files twice a year. Give away clothing i haven't worn for a while. Throw away old books. and Keep myself updated about my insurance or financial status.
10. I keep being passionate and respectful to many things. I try to be studious although i don't have much time or money for lessons. I like to watch TED Talk speeches and search info on line.
I can learn different perspectives and info from TV shows as well. I believe as much as we learn, as much as we are understanding the differences. People misunderstand others because they don't understand others at the beginning.

My PHILOSOPHY

人不是因為年老才停止玩樂,
而是因為停止玩樂才開始變老!
You are NOT old because of your age on the ID, but You ARE getting old if you stop traveling or enjoying your life.
Traveling is addictive!
