About Me

Welcome to my site! A bit about me....I am the type of person that is outgoing, positive, honest and loves to laugh. My favorite thing to do is to make those around me smile and not giving up until they do :). My friends would say that I am reliable, responsible, and always there when needed. I love trying new things and new places because I have so many interests myself.

I loved this quote my friend Moshie had on his site so...I borrowed it: You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you've got and remember what you had. Always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret. People change.. things go wrong.. - but just remember ..... life goes on.
You are probably wondering what Coisa Boa means...it means "Good Thing" and was a name given to me by Contre Mestre Parafina in my Capoeira group. I am Parafina's Assistant for Capoeira Los Angeles and get the chance to be around amazing people all the time. We all have such a blast and it is one of my loves in life so check out my site and see some of the great times we have together.


My Interests

I have a huge appreciation for different Martial arts but my love and favorite is Capoeira (Brazilian Dance Fighting) which captures my love of Brazilian music and mixes it with Martial Arts. I can not even begin to express how many wonderful things came into my life because of it and Coisa Boa has way too much fun!!! My other interests are anything creative such as making quilts, scrap booking, artwork, home repair, and cooking. I love to dance and can do so with most music but my favorite tends to be Pop, Hip Hop, and Latin music.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet positive outgoing people that love to laugh as I do and have a good time....

Music:

I have a wide taste in music that could range from pop to classical which is why my friends don't usually have any problems with me when we listen to music together. I love music that brings out something in me whether it is an emotion, something I can sing to, or even a feeling that makes me want to get up and dance.

Movies:

I love movies and find myself going from one spectrum to the other. I am always known for liking the movies that many think are quite cheesy as well as some that my guy friends know they will never have to go alone to and these usually are action movies. Some of the movies I love are Transformers, 300, all Pirates of the Carribean series, Devil wears Prada, The Sweetest thing, Center stage, Titanic, all Shrek series, all Matrix series, Phantom of the Opera movie, The Notebook, all Harry Potter series, Narnia, all Lord of the Rings series, Wedding Singer, Wedding date, 13 going on 30, Love Stinks, Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion, How to lose a guy in 10 days, Clueless, Breakfast Club, 16 Candles, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Bring it on, Elektra, 40 year old virgin, and Queen of the Damned just to name a few.

Television:

So many wonderful shows: Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Sex and the City, Nip Tuck, Dance Life, The Hills, Supernatural, Dirt, Alias, CSI ~ Las Vegas, and Ghost Whisperer. To sharpen my cooking skills I love: 30 Minute Meals, Everyday Italian, Barefoot Contessa, and Semi-Homemade with Sandra Lee. For my creative side for the home: Design Remix, Design on a Dime, and Get Color.

Books:

"The Secret", "Little Capoeira Book"

Heroes:

I admire people that live as they want to live and do not care what others think of them. I feel very blessed to have many people in my life that truly care for me and keep me on the right track to succeed in life and these people are my heroes.
