About Me

In a nutshell... I'm really into foreign languages. I've studied Spanish, French, Portuguese, Tagalog, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean. I continue to study the last three at UCI. I'm a junior who just transferred from IVC. I'm also really into martial arts as I have trained in 10 different styles over the last 12 years. I hold a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do (4th in 2007), 2nd Dan in Kendo, 1st Dan in Judo, and other various ranks below black in Capoeira, Hapkido, Kali-Silat, Muay Thai, Kung-Fu, Brazilian Jiujitsu, and Isshun-Ryu. I used to compete in lots of tournaments but have been boggled down with school work recently. I also play lots of video games at home and in the arcade. Making me a complete and utter NERD. Yes, I am aware of this fact, thanking you for pointing it out -_-;; I've been known for my sarcasm and wittyness so expect that from me if we hang out, but you can also expect lots of laughs... or screams... whichever you prefer. The rest I guess you will just have to ask me about. Take care.

My Interests

Close to anything: cars, bikes, books, academics, skateboarding, dancing, DDR (long time ago -_-), music, drums, guitar, piano, singing, LANGUAGES, basketball, running, weight lifting, health & nutrition, MARTIAL ARTS, video games (mostly RPG's), billiards, arcades, bowling... basically anything except art and THEATER theater... *shrugs* guess when it comes down to it, I just love being a dork and acting all nerdy with my other nerd associates.
