About Me

Myspace Backgrounds
I love to learn, meet new people, learn of new cultures, try new things and get involved. I love my family and friends. I know what I'm about and when you get to know me you can see the core things I feel strongly about. Family, friends, religion, integrity, honesty, etc. I am passionate about life and what I do in life. I want to be an honest reflection of all I do!

My Interests

Love to Latin Dance.I love to be in the water. Preferably, the ocean, but the pool will do for now. I love being outside with the warm weather and love the Utah Mountains to bike, hike, and enjoy. I LOve dancing. Ballet, Jazz, Hula, etc. Summer concerts, spending time with my family and close friends, finding fun, different, new things to do. Especially cultural events or anything active. I LOVE traveling, even if it is just a quick road trip. Always up for an adventure! Check out one of my favourite websites [email protected]

Movies:

On Our Watch - A documentary about genocide in Darfur


..
Three years of fighting in Darfur have destroyed hundreds of villages, displaced 2.2 million and led to more than 400,000 deaths. President Bush has accused the government of Sudan of genocide, but the U.S. has taken few concrete actions to stop the fighting. Narrated by Sam Waterston, this documentary tells the story of those who have lost their loved ones to this war, those who are fighting to survive and those who are working to bring peace to the region.It is up to us to tell US policy makers that they can not stand idly by while genocide unfolds. Together we can be a powerful voice for lifesaving action.Go to www.refugeesinternational.org for more information on what you can do to help the people of Darfur. Pride & Prejudice A&E version. Fools rush In, You've got Mail, Wedding Planner, Last of the Mohicans, Much ado about nothing ~ Shakespeare, version with Kenneth Branau & Emma Thompson; as well as any movie they are in. I love sappy girly films. We love movies in my house that make us laugh Nutty Professor, the God's must be Crazy, Pure Luck, Rush Hour. 50 first dates I love films that can stir emotions, and thoughts making me think. Lately, I haven't watched heaps of films since that of the Restoration, etc. So I'll let you know when I'm back in the swing of things. Although, I did watch Nacho Libre the other week and there were a couple things that hit a little close to home. (LOL) Funniest personal experience goes along with a part from that movie.

Television:

I LOVE Law & Order! Gracias a mis padres ~ 24. Are You Being Served, Faulty Towers, Keeping up Appearances. (I really love British Comedy). I loved watching the Cosby's growing up, as well as the Golden Girls with my baby sister whom I love dearly. I do love to go downstairs and watch Sports Center & Baseball tonight with my Daddy (special boding times with my Pops). I love to watch home improvement shows. When I was little I used to watch "This Old House." (Geek I know) Now, I don't really watch TV heaps. I used to love to watch CNN but now I listen to BBC and NPR.

Books:

Don't pee on my leg and tell me it's raining. Beauty fades dumb is forever. Getting past No. Anything by Jane Austen. A Perfect Day. Sunflower. Marry Higgins Clark. When I was little Bobsey Twins series. Carol Gilligin. Life in Christ. PMG. My parents have heaps of books so I just like to steal what they have ~ especially the books my Mum is in the middle of reading.

Heroes:

Mother Theresa My Family, Robert, Maraia, Michael, Aiona & Spencer. And ALL of my extended family. Especially, Nana Sokia who truly exmplified for me the true meaning of Christ like love and unwaivering Faith in God! As well as my Dear Grandma Weingarten who loved her country, family, & grandchildren with all her heart! Each member of my extended family are blessed with Incredible talents that I love to watch all they do. Joseph Smith. Christ. My Mission Presidents and their wives. I have been extremely blessed with the people in my life. They have inspired me through choices in their lives and their willingness to touch my life during definining moments of my own.
