I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a daughter, a sister/Ate, a cousin, a friend, a student, a planner, a world-traveler, a down-to-earth person. I'm goal-oriented and a hard worker. It doesn't take much to make me happy. Takes a lot to make me mad/sad. I'm open to new adventures and learning new things every day.

My Interests

Spending time with family and friends, further education, traveling, tennis, snowboarding, watching baseball (A's fan) and basketball, watching movies and TV shows, reading good books, video games (DS and Wii), trying out new restaurants/food, clubbing/dancing, finding good happy hours =), and my new found hobbies: gokarting and trapezing

I'd like to meet:

Whole-hearted good people who will enrich my life. I enjoy being around ppl who make me laugh and know how to have a good time...so if ur one of them, then ur a person i'd want to meet. ^_^
