About Me

CURRENT MISSION

the real winner loves when everyone else hates...

ABOUT ME

vegetarian, orthodox, lovin' people, travelling, the differences or common ways of the people and places, anything new one can discover, why not friends..
adoring art and living for the beauty. also the surprises life makes you, where it takes you, from the moment u wake up till the end of the day...

PHILOSOPHY

love for people,creation and beauty in all it's forms...also i love waking up every day with a great feeling and not knowing how my day is gonna turn up,surprise, challenge and innocence found and preserved during life, no matter how much it tryies to change you. I think maybe that's the real challenge or the biggest, to keep urself intact during life, in terms of childhood inside and inner beauty...
