I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I've decided to join the "myspace club" because it seems it's the best way to spread ideas and interests, especially for musicians and singers.. Actually, I don't like to define myself a singer, because I'm not! It's a passion, an hobby, something that makes me feel alive and helps me to express my feelings through the magic language that is music.. But it's not my job, and since there are so many excellent singers around, I prefer to listen to them, instead of me.. But my friends don't agree, and pushed me to enter this phantomatic network that is myspace! So..here I am! I'm still working on my "myspace music" page, and soon I will give you the link. In the meanwhile..I have to admit that I'm enjoying tha chance to keep in contact with my friends in this funny way.. Who am I? A 30 years old woman, that thought to be somewhere else doing something else at this age..but nevermind, life is probably what flows in our hands while we are so busy to think to what we'll do one day....!!! This is my life at the moment, and I love it: I live between Parma and Reggio Emilia, in a town called Sant'Ilario (but it's not the one Fabrizio De Andrè refers to in his song..!!!), and basically I'm a teacher.. I teach Spanish and English in the evening classes, and during the rest of the days..Well it depends a lot, I'm a precarious worker proud to be free, but at the same time a little tired not to know what my daily routine will be from a month to another..!!! Anyways, some of the things I love doing at work are working with children in lab s I make in primary schools and kintergardens (we play with English and music..), collaborating with Parma University in sociology research, going around Italy with Boston College students that come to Parma for 3 or 6 months (I'm their tutor).. That's more or less my week, but I don't exlude the possibility that this year a lot of things will change in my life... let's see what happens!!!

My Interests

I'm a very curious person, and I love to learn and try new things! If I were so rich not to have to work..I think I would spend my time studying and attending courses of every kind!!!!! Of course I love music, and I love singing. That's one of the things that makes me feel better, together with spending time with my friend and playing my little cousin Sofia, that is the sun, the sky and the sea.. Another thing I love is dancing flamenco. It's strength and passion, pain and sensuality, grace and prayer: all important sides of my personality. I'm also very sweet and tender, my friends sometimes call me teddy bear because of my weak point..: cuddles!!! I love cuddles, I like the sensation of touching and be touched by the people I love..(and not only in "that way"!!) Cuddles are the best expression of love and tenderness without asking anything in change..! My affectionate nature sometimes can be misunderstood..and it's a problem! But I don't really care anymore: I think I'm on the right way to stop paying too much attention to what people think about me! Other interests: improving my spirituality and my culture. In any way..
