Travel I want to see the world... I want to be taken out of my element!
Experience By the end of my life, I want to have taken every chance I could to fill my life with passion and adventure. No regrets!
Music I love listening to music and playing music. In school, I played as many instruments as I could: Cello, French Horn, Tenor Sax, Mellophone, and Trumpet. Right now, I'm just playing the piano, but I would like to learn Guitar and Shakuhachi.
Fitness
I'm a fitness freak... working out 2 hours a day/7 days a week, drinking protein shakes, and sticking to a low carb, low fat diet... &hearts Quod Me Nutrit Me Destruit &hearts Nothing tastes as good as thin feels!
Japan Japanese anything... food, movies, dramas, chado (tea ceremony), music, and fashion. Its so refreshingly un-American.
Wine I love wine, especially rose and saugv blancs. I love pairing them with different flavored foods. Wine intoxicates my senses in a most delicious way...
Salsa Nothing is more exciting than being spun around a darkened dance floor to sexy Latin beats

Movies:
Shiri
Good people and bad politics, ideals and extremism, suicide bombers and special agents... slam into one another like hyper-charged electrons in a particle accelerator. Never thought it would be such a throat-clenching romance...
Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes)
(A movie so twisted that you are forced to sit there and let it all unfold before you)
Memento
(Dizzying film noir about memory...also stars my current crush, Guy Pearce)
Donny Darko
(A cult classic about existentialism and paradoxes)
The Usual Suspects
(A complicated puzzle of a movie... plenty of twists and turns)
Blue Velvet
(David Lynch's dark and ambiguous view of small town USA)
American Psycho
(There's something enthralling about Patrick Bateman, a fantastically dangerous and handsome blue blood... also stars another one of my crushes, Christian Bale)
The Mission
(Spanish Jesuits defend Native Americans against Colonialists... This is definitely a gut-wrenching movie)
My Sassy Girl
(A Korean love story which is both poignantly and unpredictably enjoyable)
The Way Home
(Another Korean film which explores the relationship between a grandmother and her willful grandson... this movie made my whole family very emotional and tearful)
The Eye
(The scariest movie I've ever seen)
Neon Genisis Evangelion
(I have to admit that I like anime, but this one takes it a little deeper and explores humanity)
Pia Carrot
(he he he)
