Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see God's entire creation with my own two eyes. Meeting people who can enhance my life or broaden my perspectives, therefore making me a better person to be around.
ABOUT ME
I love reading, cooking and learning new languages. I like the arts (music, broadway shows/musicals, operas, ballets etc). I like watching sports (mainly (American) football and soccer(futbol)). Obviously, I'm becoming more interested in traveling the world and exploring my own country as well.
PHILOSOPHY
Main purpose is to hear God say "Well done thy good and faithful servant." when I die... but I really like this following quote and would love to also be able to say this to myself...
"Life's journey is not to arrive @ the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting Holy shit what a ride!"

Music, Movies, and Books
I love almost all genres of music. Good lyrics on top of good beat pretty much grabs my interest. Specifically (r&b, hip hop, jazz, neo-soul, gospel, pop, alternative, indie, a little rock, classical.
Favorite movies... i like a lot, but top 5: Love Jones, Gladiator, Inception, 300, Hangover
If you tell me a book is good, I'll immediately go to library or book store and grab it. I LOVE reading. I'll typically read a book a day (when on vacay with no school/work distractions) all genres ... fiction/non-fiction, mystery, memoirs etc etc etc... but I must admit I naturally gravitate towards "smutty" erotic romance novels. =)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
At one point in my undergraduate education I was wanting to become an OB/GYN, so I was interning at a hospital following two OB/GYN's. I was allowed to be present during 5 births and scrub in on two C-sections. Seeing new life come into this world. That was pretty amazing.
Teach, Learn, Share
I definitely want to learn different languages fluently (i know some Spanish and bits and pieces of Arabic, Farsi & French)
I don't know if it's my modesty or lack of internal reflection, but I don't quite know what I have to offer to teach, although I know people have probably learned a few things from me.
Maybe how to be comfortable with yourself, be authentic and transparent. That's mainly who I am and I attempt to allow others to do the same with me.
