Overview
About Me
I recently rejoined this site, so I don't know when I will have time to write out my profile. In any case, if you want to meet up, I'm in!
In short, I'm very active, and I love sporty activities. Things not to do with me: just talking or having a drink.
What I love: sitting in silence with a group of people and communicate only with body language.
----------------------------
In the past I've done a number of sports and I used to play the piano, but due to injuries I had to quit sports and I have forgotten how to play the piano as I used to. I'm now learning how to drum and taking shooting classes soon; yes, I have used an AK 47 and it was a great feeling.
----------------------------
Currently working for the government.
----------------------------
For the ones for whom it matters: I CANNOT COOK!
And I doubt I will ever learn how to...
*Vegetarian
Pour ceux qu'il est important: JE NE SAIS PAS CUISINIER!
Et je doute si je l'apprendra du tout...
*Végétarienne
Interests
Philosophy, animal care, martial arts (thaibox, karate, taekwondo, shuriken jitsu, aikido, mma, muay thai), classical music, law, death (sounds luguber, but the beauty of the other side can teach us a lot), spirituality, psychology
I am a silent, thoughtful person who has a lot of endurance and patience. When meeting people, I don't know how to start a conversation, but from what I heard from others I've met before, I seem to be a non-stop talker once I get going.
How to be human? This is set to be the question I will be seeking the answer to.
-----------------------
My heros:
*Tony Jaa (If he is still alive by the time I can finally travel independently, I will somehow find a way to force him to date me )
*My grandfather for his great knowledge in all fields he has studied, for his ubiquitous love to all of his grandchildren, for the endurance he showed all those years without anyone by his side and still thinking forward in his life, always showing his patience and goodness, always being humble, kind, polite, caring. My grandfather has passed away when I was least prepared for it. His loss has changed me. I will live and lead my life the way he would have been no more proud of me than he could ever be. And in memoria, I will always mention him to have him close.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Cycling 70km with no break; shooting a kalasjnikov (AK 47), shotgun and handgun.
Doing amazing things will never lie in the material side of it. The most amazing thing I've done in my life and will do in the future is giving people the light of joy and strength back into their eyes every time when they think of me. -
Teach, Learn, Share
What is on my list to learn/master:
philosophy
managament

a martial art or several martial arts if i get the opportunity (i think of krav maga or taekwondo, maybe also thaibox)
politics
economics
law
psychology
military sciences
getting a glimpse of the quantum world
maths
There is to my belief nothing much I can share, nothing much more than the vast enlightment of the soul when learning new things, the sharing of happiness in a pleasant encounter and keeping each other company in the purest of its human meaning.
What I Can Share with Hosts
There is an endless range of personal stories I could share, for the ones who like to sit and talk.
For the ones who like to do sports, I'm Always in!
And for the ones who just like to be solemn and calm: I can share those moments as well.
Don't forget the set of stupid jokes I've always at backhand to play when you fall quiet.
