ABOUT ME

PATTY :

oplaaaa the same question again...I would describe myself as open minded person , â

PHILOSOPHY

PATTY:

In 40 years I want to look back to the past and be able to say to myself:
DAMMMMMMMM !!! it was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) so now I m working on it!!!!

ALEXIS:

I cannot but agree with John Lennon's "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans..."; I try to challenge this saying by being aware of body, speech and mind every single moment of my life which brings life to a whole new level. This is my goal, but of course I still have a long way to go... Working on it is definitely the most interesting and rewarding job in the world!
