About Me

about moi? well, i just turned 19 years old (woohoo).. i'm living in north vancouver. i go to capilano college in a program called Global Stewardship. i'm going to learn how to work in non-government organizations. hopefully i'll be volunteering this summer! i also work at starbucks..

My Interests

AIM International Aid is an NGO based here in Vancouver. i just met the organization, but i'm hoping to get more information and maybe i'll do volunteer in sri lanka building a medical centre in communities severely impacted by the 2004 tsunamis. the site is here: www.aimias.org

I'd like to meet:

anyone really. i like meeting new people and just chatting about nothing important..

Music:

sarah mclachlan, pink, maroon 5, green day, gwen stefani, 3 doors down, tatu, to name a few of my favourites, but i also love all types of music from all over. i love samba, forro, salsa.. i love dancing, not so good at it, but i try. i do love to sing, but i dont really do it as much as i used to. i used to play the guitar which i should start again and i used to be in a choir which i loved. maybe when i find time i'll sing again. ..

Movies:

i love movies... it depends on my mood, but i like all kinds of movies. i like drama, comedy, action/adventure, horror (but only if it's actually scary.. most of the time they are lame), musicals and foreign films. my favourites are lion king, pirate of the caribbean, shrek, happy gilmore, 40-year-old virgin, motorcycle diaries, carandiru, all austin powers, sin city and soo many more.. i just can't think right now... ooh harry potters too! and RENT! i loooooove rent!

Television:

i try not to watch too much tv and luckily i only have to channel 28. so i watch muchmusic and some random shows. my favourite shows are smallville, 24, l word, queer as folk, six feet under and the reruns of friends, simpsons(the new ones suck) and family guy.

Books:

i have a few favourite books.. all the harry potters, life of pi, the davinci code and angels and demons.

Heroes:

people who can deal with all the pain and suffering in life, but still live with a smile and the people you will see in the video "power of one".

adopt your own virtual pet!
