About Me

"Some people recognize the light, but they can't handle the glare."~Common SenseCHANGE IS CONSTANT. OUR LIVES ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING. SITUATIONS. PEOPLE. OURSELVES. BUT THE TWO THINGS THAT NEVER CHANGE IN OUR LIVES ARE LOVE and ACCEPTANCE. I'VE SEEN MY DARKEST HOURS AND THE WORST OF ME. I CONTINUE TO ACCEPT LIFE, BUT WITH A BETTER PERSPECTIVE. BE CONSISTENT, NOT PERSISTENT. UNDERSTAND AND DON'T DEMAND. SHARE WHO YOU ARE WITH NO FALSE PRETENSE. LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. THE ONLY WAY TO LOVE IS NOT FINDING THE PERFECT PERSON, BUT BY LOVING THE IMPERFECT PERSON.I AM LIVING MY DREAMS and CONTINUING TO MAKE MY DREAMS REALITY.

My Interests

Life.People.Environment.Spirituality.Every kind of relationship is important to me. If we have ever had a conversation, i've mostly likely never forgotten about you. Therefore my family and friends is very important to me. School and earning a higher education. Reading and writing.History.Music is a key interest. It is what winds me down and helps put me in any mood I want to be. Guitar and Piano, just imagine what strings and keys can do.HipHop most definitely. Throwing out an acapella.Dancing is a must. Going out to watch a movie or just chillin to have a movie marathon is always fun. Being comfortable in my own skin. Long conversations that consist of so much or nothing at all; quality over quantity.Making eye contact.Topics of discussion;politics,poverty,nature vs nurture,anything really. Laughing. I am easily amused and it takes less muscles in your face to laugh than to frown, so always stay smiling.Traveling the world, learning different cultures, meeting new people; it is what makes this world beautiful. Random road trips to an undetermined destination. The Philippines; for those who have never been, it should be a prospective destination. My values and culture. Love the water. Exploring nature.Talking walks. Pilates can stretch you to your limits.Watching a Boxing match with a room full of men.Football and Basketball.Sports Center.Houses in hopes to have a few one day. Interior and Garden design. Cooking and learning from the great cook, my dad.FOOD. Pasta. Sushi.Pineapple and Mango. Jamba juice. Grean tea after meals. Shopping for my favorites; perfumes,bags,shoes.

I'd like to meet:

I really LOVE meeting people. Old friends that I have lost touch with through the years and new people that walk into my life everyday. I welcome you! Individuals who provide their own voice, are down to earth, intelligent, equally opinionated, those who strive to learn from others and experiences, and accomplished or on their way to achieve their goals.I believe in mutual respect. But if there are no grounds for respect, then I hold none for you. I work hard, I care about my passions and the passions of others, and what the future holds and hope to have made an impression in something greater for the lives of many others.

Music:

I'm in love with music. Beautiful music.
