I am here for Friends

About Me

Well, I love life and I'm all about livin it. I'm loyal to a fault, until you hurt me. I believe in forgiveness, but I never forget. 2nd chances are on a trial basis. I'm a singer, a poet, and a philosopher. I have big dreams, and I'm motivated enough to make them happen. I have my head up in the clouds most of the time, and I plan EVERYTHING. I have a rough past, but those experiences have made me stronger. I love my family and my close friends more than I love anything else, and I would give up my life for them. I'm not materialistic, but I do have a taste for the finer things in life. I believe in hard work, and am proud that everything I own, I bought with my own money. I value intelligence and generosity above all other qualities...src="http://www.myspacelayouts.org/images/corner tag.gif" border="0" alt="Myspace Layouts"

My Interests

Probably my favorite thing to do is to go clubbin with my girls. I live to travel, and take a vacation outside the US at least once a year. My dad is from Trinidad, and my mom is from Nicaragua, so I love all things Trini and Nicoya. On an intellectual level, I'm a research assistant at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies at UCSF, and I'm very interested in research especially related to public health and social psychology. Music is one of my great passions, and I love to sing. And whenever I'm not doing one of the above, I'm either shopping or reading.

Music:

I love many types of music, but especially R&B, Rap, Hip/Hop, Pop, Latin, and Country. My favorite artists are those who can actually sing including Christina Aguilera, Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Mariah Carey, and Kelly Clarkson, to name a few....

Movies:

My favorite movie of all time is the Matrix (the 1st one only, not the other two). Beyond that, I love historical backdrop movies, including First Knight, Kingdom of Heaven, and Troy. I also love romantic movies (yes, I'm a chick flick kinda girl) such as the Notebook, Crazy/Beautiful, and Love and Basketball. I like some funny movies including, 40 year old Virgin, 50 First Dates, and Meet the Fockers. Also noteable... The Da Vinci Code, Passion of the Christ, and Memoirs of a Geisha.

Television:

Ok, I LOVE GREY'S ANATOMY!!!! I cannot express that enough. Also, I really like Private Practice, Sex and the City, and Nip/Tuck. These are probably the only shows I watch religiously. Other than that I love A&E, the Discovery Channel, and especially the History Channel.

Books:

I love love love trashy romance novels (it's my thing, let it go...). I generally prefer historical romance. Favorite authors are Julie Garwood, Johanna Lindsey, Lisa Kleypas, Teresa Medeiros, and more recently Shana Galen.

Heroes:

God's will for me

This is a poem sent to me by a friend. I wanted to post it because it's so true, I am always trying to figure out what God has planed for me, and I'm always trying to conform His will to mine. This is...
