About Me


***I love God, I love life, I love you, I love myself and I love being Mexican. I like hugs, the ocean, the color blue, lighthouses and flowers. I try not to do to others what I don't want to be done to me. I truly believe that every single experience in my life was necessary to become the woman I am today. That's about it... Oh, and LOVE RULES!! ///Espanol: Amo a Dios, amo la vida, te quiero a ti, me quiero a mi misma y me encanta ser mexicana. Me gustan los abrazos, el oceano, el color azul, los faros y las flores. Trato de no hacer a otros lo que no quiero que me hagan a mi. Creo que cada experiencia vivida fue necesaria para convertirme en la mujer que soy... Ah, y el amor es el motor de mi vida.*** *** You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !***

My Interests

Food (cooking it, and eating it too), experiencing new things, enjoying life, watching movies, getting to know the people I meet, talking about myself, listening to other people's experiences and point of views. /// Espanol: Me gusta la comida (cocinarla y comerla), experimentar cosas nuevas, disfrutar la vida, ver peliculas, tratar de saber mas cosas de las personas que conozco, hablar de mi misma, escuchar sobre las experiencias de otros y sus puntos de vista.

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to continue meeting more great people like you. I'd also like to meet my future husband (if I haven't met him yet), and my future kids. And when my time here on Earth is over (hopefully in a very long time) I'd like to meet God and meet with my grandfather again.
***Trains rock!

Music:

Music moves me in so many ways: It makes me happy when I'm sad, helps me loosen-up when I'm being too serious, and gives me hope when I'm starting to loose it (either my hope or my sanity). (Espanol: La musica me mueve en diferentes maneras: Me pone feliz cuando estoy triste, me ayuda a relajarme cuando estoy muy seria, y me da esperanzas cuando me siento perdida.

Movies:

In general I like any movie that entertains me, and makes me get into the story. I also like movies that make me think, and surprise me every now and then. ///Espanol: En general me gustan las peliculas que me entretienen, y que me hacen entrar en la historia. Tambien me gustan las peliculas que me hacen pensar, y que me sorprenden de vez en cuando.

Television:

Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, According to Jim, Two and a Half Men, but haven't been able to see them for a while. Re-runs of Friends. News.

Books:

The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, The Republic of East L.A. by Luis Rodriguez, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, Rain of Gold, Thirteen Senses and Burro Genius by Victor Villasenor.

Heroes:

The women in my life. /// Las mujeres en mi vida.
