change is the only constant..

About Me

I like to take the road less travelled. I like to take my chances, cross my fingers, and hope everything turns out for the best.

Who I'd like to Meet: People who don't take life too seriously. Fun, spontaneous people. People who love music and love to dance. People who can make me laugh... Smart people, overachievers, people with high-energy, positive energy. Someone with an interesting past and with big plans for the future. Intellectuals. Human rights activists. Entrepreneurs. People who are self-aware. People who think big or just think differently.

My Interests

Music, learning to play my sax, travelling, weekend getaways, dancing, harrassing my friends and family, yoga, tai chi, redecorating my house or anyone's house, reading sci-fi books, Ikea food, anything RED, drinking detox tea, looking for ghosts at the Queen Mary, eating brown rice with sauteed string beans, going to Mother's Market, coffee shops, thrift stores, used book stores, water activities, learning how to surf, reading books on magnetic therapy, vintage furniture, meeting interesting people, finding new things to do and basically try to avoid from being bored.

Heroes:

Independent thinkers, those that aren't afraid to push the limits of what is normal or expected. Brave souls, people who speak their mind. People who aren't afraid to feel. People who express their emotions and love openly. Human rights activists, charity workers, those committed to a cause bigger then themselves. My mom.
