Don't Worry, Be Happy!

About Me

UPDATE -- Hmmm...seriously, I'm too lazy to update this...so, yeah, it's not 2007 and I'm now a year older again, but I don't look it...BAH! OLD NEWS BELOW: Okay, I'm 32 now, and this is old (almost as old as me...BAH!). I'm gonna have to update this soon, just to lazy to. So read on for now, but it'll change soon -- DANGIT! I'm freaking 31 now. A whole year past 30...I'm officially in my 30's now. Of course my friends said that I was officially in my 30's when I was 30, but I honestly felt like it was just the end of my 20's...LOL...but now...when you're 31, there's no denying it...oh well. Some people say it's finally time to grow up, but I like having fun. Personally, I think I'm more child-like, than childish, more innocent, navie, and goofy...and no, not like Peter Pan or Micheal Jackson...he's crazy. LOL, jk. But seriously, I'm the type of person who just likes to have fun and chill. I'm very easy going and down to do about anything...as long as it's cool. Life is too short, so why take things so seriously. I like to find the humor in everything, and try and make people laugh as much as possible. Also, working at a hospital has taught me a few things...like I have to lose weight...LOL, but also it's cool to have a job that helps your community and still do the stuff I like to do...like web and design stuff. I get the best of both worlds.

My Interests

drawing, designing, cooking, dancing, photography, singing, hanging out with friends and family, collecting comics (yes, i'm a nerd...but a cool one), bowling, sleeping, just having fun...as cheesy as it sounds, I like to volunteer for different non-profits and causes, as odd as it sounds...working...the team i work with and place i work at are totally the best...i actually look forward to going to work every day...not waking up, mind you, but going to work, also I'm trying to get into working out, but it's hard...but seriously, I really need to...BAH! :)

I'd like to meet:

I'm pretty lucky to have such a huge, supportive, and totally fun family. When we're all together, we get loud, ghetto, and sometimes rowdy, but always have a blast! Also, I've been blessed with a big group of friends in San Jose and the Bay that have become my extended family, but I'm always down to meet new, fun, and easy going people who are down to have fun...and of couse, old school friends that I've lost touch with.

Music:

hip hop, r&b, house, 80's music ... pretty much anything except country (but some country is cool, like shania twain, etc.)

Movies:

love any cool horror, comedies, and action adventures, my favorites right now are the lord of the ring movies, the matrix movies, the scream movies, the austin powers movies, comic book hero movies (x2, spiderman 2, superman 2 are the best), the ring, moulin rouge

Television:

lost, simpsons, family guy, survivor, american idol, trading spaces, saturday night live, iron chef, smallville, alias, wwe wrestling (yes, i know it's fake), real world, road rules, desperate housewives (i admit i watch it...and i know tons of guys that do), grey's anatomy, almost anything on mtv, food network, cartoon network, comedy channel, tlc...also saturday morning cartoons...yes, you're right, i watch too much tv.

Books:

anything by steven king, the hobbit and the lord of the rings, the harry potter books, cool design books ... did i mention comics?

Heroes:

hmmm...Superman, Batman, Spiderman...LOL, jk...seriously, it has to be my family. I have one of the best families on earth. My mom is always supportive and one of my biggest cheerleaders. She's always there to talk to and calls almost every day just to say "Hi" and "I love you". My dad has been there for us since he found out my mom was pregnant. He's always made us one of his first priorities, making sure we had a house over our head and food to eat. Also he has some of the most interesting and funny stories to share. The only bad thing is that they are a BIT too honest with us about how happy they make each other, if you get my drift...GROSS!! My sister is my best friend. She always one of the first people I call when something good or bad happens to me...and has always been there just to listen or offer advice. She and my brother-in-law have shown so much heart and courage overcoming one of the biggest hardships for our family. They have also given us our first new generation...our precious mamas, Gabriella. Yeah...those are my heroes, and I hope I can be the same for them one day. :) ..
