I compete for the love of it. Born and raised in Amsterdam (yes I know, Sin city) with both parents being Persian, I have traveled frequently to Miami where I trained for my competitions, traveled for fun, modeled as my hobby and just had lots of fun. I am realistic but not down to earth. I follow my dreams and live by the heart. You could even say I live in my own world. I try to make life as wonderful as possible, everything is possible, nothing is too far reached and I keep an open mind for the unknown. Time, distance nor traditional belief of "what you are supposed to do" hold barriers for me and life has been like a rollercoaster of fun and succes this way. I started competing two years ago and things are going very well very fast, I love the challenge and it feels great to work hard and get rewarded, not only by winning the competitions but also simply by feeling fit and by looking in the mirror and being happy with myself and motivating others to live life to the fullest.

My Interests

HAHAHHHAHA!!!!! Pleeeeaaaaase WATCH THIS!!!!! :-D

I love hanging out with friends and having fun together, but I am the kind of person you will also see going to a restaurant, a cafe or shopping by herself. Major interests are taking vacations and exploring new cities, going to the movies, going out to eat or doing whatever is fun. I like weightlifting, I like doing cardio for the results and how it makes me feel after. But I do not like to do cardio without my iPod lol. I'm very much into fitness (figure to be specific), modeling (I like doing photoshoots) and competing. I love surprises and a major keyword for me is having fun!

I'd like to meet:


I'd like to meet Oprah! What a wonderful person she is. She gets her joy from helping other people tremendously. She deserve all the luck and prosperity in the world and this is a person I would definitally love to meet.
I am here for networking, but i'll keep an open mind for people outside the fitness and bodybuilding industry aswell. I will be open for other fun, openminded people who who share the same interests.
Oh yeah, and I'd love to meet Mr. Right. I don't think myspace is the place to meet him, lol but he's the one I'd like to meet. :-)

Are you ready to finally change your body totally, as you always dreamed of it to be? Send me a message about training with me! I will help you achieve that!

Music:



I love different kinds of music. From Sade (No Ordinary Love is still my favourite song), Enigma, Spiritual music mixed with asian tones to classics like David Bowie, Chris Isaac and Madonna to Muse, Korn (their softer versions) and Metallica to deep house and progressive house like Carl Cox, Deep Dish, Satoshi Tomiie and James Holden for parties or working out. What I listen to depends on my mood.

Movies:

I love watching all kinds of movies, at home or in the movie theater. I don't really like movies about war, excessive drugs and violence etc. Lately I am going to the movies much more often than I used to and I watch dvd's more too. But that can be because I am preparing for my contest now, which leaves me tired after my workouts and from dieting. So I choose to relax and stay home more often now.

Television:

We all love Pro Bodybuilding Weekly!!! The hottest news about pro's, the shows and the industry of fitness and bodybuilding. :-)
One of my turn off's: People not paying me on time! I'm getting real tired of those people man... lol!

I love Family Guy. He is soooo rude! I love watching movies in the theater with friends or very cozy at home, preferably with someone special. ;-)

Books:

Now reading: Amy Tan - Saving Fish From Drowning
“Amy Tan has created an almost magical adventure that, page by page, becomes a metaphor for human relationships.”
–Isabel Allende

My favourite magazines: Musclemag International, Flex Magazine, Ironman Magazine, Oxygen Magazine, Muscular Development, American Curves.

I like reading books to learn whatever i'm interested in to learn at the moment, about life psychology, spirituality, romance and thrillers. I love fiction like Harry Potter, my preference goes to non-fiction.

Heroes:



You Are a Retrospective Soul

The most misunderstood of all the soul signs.
Sometimes you even have difficulty seeing yourself as who you are.
You are intense and desire perfection in every facet of your life.
You're best described as extremely idealistic, hardworking, and a survivor.

Great moments of insight and sensitivity come to you easily.
But if you aren't careful, you'll ignore these moments and repeat past mistakes.
For you, it is difficult to seperate the past from the present.
You will suceed once you overcome the disappoinments in life.

Souls you are most compatible with: Traveler Soul and Prophet Soul
What Kind of Soul Are You?
