About Me


So who am I? Well I am a person who tries to be a Renaissance Woman, a woman who has a wide range of knowledge and interests. I LOVE: to travel and experience new cultures, poker (Texas holdem style), motorcycles (Harley's and choppers), sports, fashion, wine, Cuban coffee and especially cortaditos, politics, films, the theater, art, and music (I'm a concert junkie). But I am just a simple girl who has three beautiful dogs, a great set of close friends, and a family with unconditional love. But most importantly about me is my faith, and my strong belief in GOD. He is my everything; without Him I would be lost.

My Interests

I love to ski. I also love politics, which I have been activly involved, even before I was old enough to vote.

I'd like to meet:

People I would LOVE to meet are two of my three Divas: Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion. I had the pleasure of already meeting one of my Divas: Gloria. I would also like to meet Bill O'Reilly. Even though I may not always agree with his politics and ideals, I just love his boldness, and his abililty to care less of what others may think of him. Paula Deen, because I want her to teach me how to cook just like her. And lastly, Leopold, because I just love a man who has British charm.This was one of the best days of my LIFE!!!

Music:

I believe that a person should be musically well-rounded. So, I don't have a particular favorite genre. My music collection is composed of the following: Bossa Nova (Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto and Gal Costa), Country (Toby Keith), Pop (Ashlee Simpson and Kelly Clarkson), Jazz (Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, Diana Krall and Jamie Cullum), Latin (Alejandro Sanz, Juan Luis Guerra, Gipsy Kings, Rosario, Ricky Martin and Gloria Estefan), Rock (Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chilli Peppers [their new music]) and Easy Listening (Barbra Streisand, Celine Dion and Josh Groban).

Movies:

Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, Phantom of the Opera, Kate and Lepold, L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, Die Hard 3, Beyond the Sea, Bridget Jones Diary, and The Little Mermaid.

Television:

I love watching Home Cooking with Paula Deen, Law and Order SVU, All About Brian, ER, Project Runway, and the infamous Grey's Antamoy.

Books:

My top favorite books range from children to thrillers. All of the Harry Potter books 1-5 (I haven't read the latest installment yet), Dracula, Peter Pan, Pride and Prejudice, Timeline, the Bill O'reilly's books and all of Nicholas Sparks' books.

Heroes:

First and foremost my parents. My father who is one of the most intelligent person I know, and my mother, who has shown me how to be a strong elegant woman. Also, Russell Crowe, because he can save me any day, Jane Austen for writing "Pride and Prejudice" and introducing Mr. Darcy to the literary world, and lastly Jon McClane for saving the good old USA from terroists at three different occasions and pretty soon one more time(the fourth movie of the series will be released this summer).Yippee-ki-yay!
