"The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."
Mark Twain

My name is Felipe, I'm from Santiago de Chile and I came to Australia 4 years ago. I'm 34 years old and I have lived a full life... I have loved, traveled, I've had a lot of fun and I have made a few mistakes too, like every human being, but here I am...trying to fix some things up, mending my life, giving the best of myself.
Still single, not because I want to, but because I really haven't found what I'm looking for, which is basically a contribution, a friend, a person to trust and capable to make me a better man...and not a headache or a "casual friend" with issues. So I prefer to be alone rather than being in bad company or spending my time with anyone just to don't be alone, and besides I get along with myself, every time I talk to me, I have a lot of fun and I feel that I'm a happy and lucky guy inside; sometimes, while I'm in these states, I don't realize that some people is laughing at me and is a little embarrassing because I'm very far of being a clown or a crazy guy, I'm more like a serious person, a professional gentleman with a twist and I think is natural to have your own sense of humor, which is not obvious indeed...plus, being in touch with yourself should be one of the principles of communication... and of life.
I often go to bed smiling because I've remember something I've done during the day without noticing and that simple fact make my dreams sweeter, that’s why I have an intimate relationship with my pillow... but I'm not lazy!

The "experts" once diagnosed me ADD (attention deficit disorder), probably just like Mozart, Dali, Einstein and Magic Johnson...of course this doesn't make me a genius, an "star" or even a wizard... but neither an insane guy, and instead to foster my positive energy, they tried to keep me down with Ritalin and other pills for like 13 years!… Making me feel that I wasn't normal.
This fact, plus the discovery that many of the things I really believed were based in a lie, created in me some sort of distrust and doubt, which started to grow with the years and the events. Reason why in my late adolescence I got rebel, and I developed an amazing talent to dance, sing, talk to the girls, send assholes to hell, and even drive under the influence of some spirits (glasses) ... while some sort of anger was growing inside too because I couldn't "fit in" with my "rebel and bad attitude", so I decided to make some noise because I'm sure what is coming from inside is good... and sometimes even better…
The years have passed and I've become a more mature and calm person, I'm reflexive and easy going and I consider myself a simple and natural guy who is in contact with himself... I live and work in the beautiful city of Melbourne and I'm giving my spirit in this place because I have some dreams to accomplish, like traveling across the world in my boat once I get retired.

Why I came here?
1- I was down at home, my star was leaving me and I needed a real challenge to feel proud about myself... I wanted to create an effect, because at some point I felt that I was a cause of a system and that system is just not right.
2- I wanted to live in a society where I could feel free to Dream... knowing that if I work hard and I really believe in myself I can achieve whatever I want, without being concern about other's opinions and judgments... "I wanted to be free to know the things I do are right!.... I wanted to believe in myself, I wanted to be high because that's my natural state and I hate to be down, because that's not normal in me... it's not about the money...it's about the things I can do with it... It's about freedom and ideas.
3- Honestly, I was bored to live someone else's life... I was tired of our third world mentality and our predictability. Chile is nice, but you have to think in a square if you want to live there, fit into the system to survive, be part of a political, religious or economical group to be someone, get a job you probably don't like just for the money; be ambitious just to keep your ass safe and avoid any real challenge, pretending to be what you are not, managing your life like the rest of the people does to fit in, following the mass... get married, have kids, forget your dreams and live to work and pay the bills. Is like living a life that the society have imposed to you, knowing already how is going to end... Piss off!...I'm out of here! This is my life, I think by myself, I'm an individual and I have things to do with my other me, so we came here... just to break the cycle, even though I love my family with all my heart and I miss them very much... that's the only BUT.
Ok, now lets be clear... I'm not a bad or a crazy kuku guy; but I'm not a saint either and sometimes I'm a little bit impulsive and unpredictable, because I believe in my intuitions... I'm not an intellectual but I'm not stupid at all and If you want to try me out, you have to know the limits and be prepare for the consequences. I'm not perfect and I like that, because I assumed that I'm just an ordinary man with virtues and defects and I would hate to be like a robot, or a moralist, judging other people without knowing their thoughts and hearts. In fact... I hate judgumental people, the ones who label you at the first glance and think they are allways right. I also hate hipocrisy and ignorance in all their forms and I value very much authentic, original and natural people, even if I don't like them...because they are just themselves and I respect that.
I don't admire too many close people because I realized we are all human beings and we usually make mistakes and disappoint each others; my idols and heroes are generally people who has transcended for something they've done which is valuable for the whole humanity and not just for a group of people with personal interests.
I don't talk much, really!... but when I talk I try to say something meaningful, because for me, words were made to change realities, to create and share ideas.
I appreciate any kind of talent and I love beautiful things in their own context; I love art and women although sometimes I don't get both of them, and that intrigues me, calls my attention and sometimes reveal my intentions.
I'm not 100% positive about many things, because I believe that all depends on the perspective, but the things I'm certain are my values and principles and that is mine, they are solid and strong; that's a treasure I keep for myself and I don’t negotiate at all.I don't want to be perfect, just a little bit better every day, because I like myself as I am, sometimes away, absent, dreaming and suddenly so present that I can be "Too much" scary, if you know what I mean. I enjoy small things because I'm rich in spirit and I need less material things. I enjoy walking and riding my bicycle because it makes me feel alive; I like to laugh and to smile because it doesn't cost anything, I love my freedom and my creative spirit, because is a gift from God.I'm a spiritual person and I believe in all the religions just enough to have my own..."Dios es mi copiloto"
