If you hold on tight to what you think is your thing, you might find out you're missing all the rest

About Me

I go to the University of Arizona. I love California summers and Arizona autumns. I love intelligent people. I'm a spiritual person. I like history. I wish I could sound more native while speaking Tagolog. I like spending money on myself and other people. That's probably why I'm broke. "The great thing about my family is that we can all cook" ~Josh Gibbons. I'm messy. Get over it. Mess is a catalyst of creativity. I like real indie music. I like shopping in vintage clothes stores. I eat when I am upset. I like change. I'm not as lazy as I used to be. Politics intrest me. I like to dance. I like to make people dance by playing good music. I don't enjoy confrontation but I like to argue. I rock at staring contests. I love my chucks. It takes a lot to set off my temper, but when you do, I suggest staying away. I don't like the rain. I don't like the rain even if I am sitting inside with a blanket, cup of coffee and a fire in the fire place. It makes me moody. I believe in monogamy. The majority of my sweaters, shirts and blouses are black. I'm not gothic, I just like the way it looks on me. I hate contacts and love glasses. I love my sibilings. And parents. And aunts, uncles and cousins (including the not so real one's). I like to read. A lot. Someday I'll live in New York. And London. And San Francisco. Eventually though, I will end up back in San Diego. I love learning about different religions, but Catholicism has my heart. I think people spend too much time by themselves. America needs to learn how to turn off the TV and computer and spend some quality time with each other. I think this would help solve the overwhelming feeling of negativity in this country. Turn off the TV, read a book.

My Interests

making and listening to music, percussion (classical, world, avant-garde...i love it all), social justice, politics, world religions, yoga

I'd like to meet:

"Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful." ~Thich Naht Han

Music:

"God is breathing Breathing is music Music creates the world Even a single breath recreates the world The more free, more gentle, and deeper the breath is, The richer in love the world becomes. God is love. It is God sending His love to the world by means of my breath. Breathing is music. God is breathing."

Books:

The Audacity of Hope (Barak Obama), Story of a Soul(St. Therese), all Harry Potter, Teachings on Love (Thich Naht Han)

Heroes:

Pope John Paul II, my parents, St. Therese,
