ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going person... I have high tolerance to many things.

I am also trying to be more spontaneous nowadays... just learned (the hard way) that life can turn 180 degrees over a day, so let's just go with the flow.

And sure, I'd love to be on a permanent vacation...

PHILOSOPHY

Not so much of "philosophy" per se, but here are some of my favorite quotes.

"Every beginning after all, is nothing but a sequel, and the book of events, is always open in the middle." - Wislawa Szymborska.

"Au coeur valant rien d'impossible."

"Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, and leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same."

"Everything we humans like are either illegal, immoral, or fattening!" - Izaac Mizrahi

"The difference between 'ordinary' and 'extra-ordinary' is that little 'EXTRA'!" - high school math teacher...
