I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


Likes: making sure those I love are very well-taken care of. Spending time with Family and Friends. Latin-American films. Human Nature and Social Order. Philosophy. Postmodernism. HK .40 SW. Intimate dinners. Funny Individuals. Video games. Dark beer, Pinots, Wine tasting. Reading. Creative Writing. College basketball. Cooking. Talking with a British accent when requesting condiments. Being a social butterfly. Being honest with you and more importantly, myself. Staying loyal to the bone, and being keen on work ethics. Being sassy. Bantering with witty individuals (not to assert my intelligence or indoctrinate the minds of the weak but to exercise the ol' brain . . . something more people need to do nowadays (instead of exercising their genitals at whim with whomever they choose, sans paper!).
Forever an idealist and optimist. There isn't one person out there who can take this away from me; idealism and optimism are embedded into the core of who I am. I'll always believe in happy endings, romance, and finding that one true love, my Soulmate. I wish to meet you someday, whoever you are, to walk along the shores of Bali hand-in-hand; to have candlelit dinners on rooftops; to dance and sing in the rain underneath the streetlamps. I can't wait to do all of these things with you in our future.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:


People who can make me laugh until I can't laugh anymore. Quirky, fun, silly people who don't care what others think. Uninhibited, free-spirited, drama-free individuals. Well-traveled, cultured, intellectually stimulating and/or witty individuals are always a plus.

Not only Explorers of foreign lands and cultures but also of their minds and emotions. I want to meet those who will give into themselves to find out who they really are, not for the sake of others but for their own sake. Those who will allow others to love them the way they deserve to be loved. Those who will cope with the trials by tempest with people who are willing to be there, instead of pushing them away.

Music:

My love of music goes beyond race, time or prejudice.

Movies:

Any and all that evokes basic human emotions. If the movie goes beyond that, then I'm in love. Latin American films, especially.

Television:

Dateline. 20/20. Grey's Anatomy. Family Guy! Friends. Basketball. College basketball. Travel channel. Entourage. NewsNewsNews.

Books:

Anything and everything as long as it feeds my brain. My brain is constantly hungry.

Heroes:

My father and grandmother (sigh), who've both shown me how to remain humble, and how to love wholeheartedly. Through their faults, downfalls and misjudgments, they've shown me how to persevere through the toughest of times to become the person I should be.And I'd like to look back at my life 30 years from now and be able to call myself a hero as well.
