ABOUT ME

When I work I work hard and serious, while on traveling , i'm another one.

As the others say, I'm a typical Capricorn :
"talkative and quiet, serious and silly, friendly and cold."

Just define when you meet me in real life :)

PHILOSOPHY

The best way to predict your future is to create it.
KEEP WALKING! :)
