Every day is a good day; just call me 'passion'

About Me

This isn't one of my favorite things to do - To describe 'me' to the best of my ability... Finding my true calling in life. In the meantime, I'm best described as being friendly, laid back and outgoing Filipina with a big, caring heart. I'm a pure Cancer so I can be emotional but it takes a lot for me to get angry & fired up. Born n' raised in Pittsburgh (I don't have the local accent though) I love traveling when I can get the chance. I enjoy trying new things, learning about anything and everything. I love meeting new people who love life and embracing what it has to offer. Guess you can say that I'm a hopeless romantic as well. I certainly smile and laugh a lot, regardless if things may not be going well; you just have to keep on going. :-) One of things that I do to relax from a busy week is go out and spend time with friends, hang out at the lounge or getting my dance on at the club (one of my favorites)...OR enjoy a nice quiet evening with some smooth jazz and some candles lit....who knows? I'm always interested in knowing what's going on in the music scene and anything cultural. Love diversity.
