CURRENT MISSION

" BE HAPPY "

ABOUT ME

Like every body, I have qualities and faults, and like everyone I believe that my qualities outweigh my faults, But sometimes I don't know if my qualities could in fact be faults and vice-versa. So, I will list them and you can decide for yourself.
I think that my QUALITIES are: I am quite extrovert, open, kind, friendly, funny, confident, sociable, resourceful and so on;
My Faults are: I am stubborn, talkative, impatient, hurried, sleepy and sometimes I can be moody too.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not really original at answering these kinds of quetions, so I will answer with a partial translation of my favourite song,; which I think about, sing or listen to when I feel upset. These words sum up exactly what I think about life.It's called "O QUE É O QUE É" from a brazilian singer called Gonzaguinha.
" TO LIVE AND NOT TO HAVE THE SHAME OF BEING HAPPY, TO SING AND TO SING AND TO SING THE BEAUTY OF BEING AN ETERNAL APPRENTICE. I KNOW THAT LIFE IT COULD BE MUCH BETTER ( AND WILL BE) SO THAT DOESN'T IMPEDE THAT I REPEAT: THIS IS THE LIFE AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL..."

Interests

I love traveling and all of the consequence generated by this activity, like: meeting other people; making new friends; learning about other cultures and traditions; tasting different foods; and, the best of all, talking about life experiences. If those "exchanges" can be around a good glass of wine and followed by some great burst of laughter, it's PERFECT.
Outside of traveling, I love dancing, going to restaurants, the cinema and GIGS. I like sports; wine when it's cold, and chilled beer when it's hot.
