BANAFRIT: Beautiful Soul

About Me

::peace and blessings to all of you::
thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit "my space". i decided to create this page to see what it feels like to get to know people in a way not solely based on the physical. i hope that you find enjoyment and pleasure in getting to know me.a little something something about me? i love many things, and music sits on the top of my list. i even consider myself somewhat of a music connoisseur! regardless of the genre, i will give it a try.besides that, i am a lover of people. i think God places people in our lives for a reason. so even if a relationship, friendship, etc...ceases, i feel there is always a lesson to be learned from every encounter. i am very multi-faceted (without being complex), in the sense that i enjoy discussing serious issues as much as i enjoy acting silly (laughter is the best medicine). i enjoy writing poems, although i have been somewhat disenchanted lately, so once i get my page together be on the lookout for some of my work. . .please continue to stop by and even drop me a line or two. until then.....peace!
