About Me

LOVE Lea Salonga! and LOVE Miss Saigon! (enjoy the song and it's cheesy 80's acting!) Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results. ~ anon.Each day I want to learn and grow. I'm your extraordinary weekday working-study buddy nerd, that's ready and up for late night weekend plans out or at home! Cooking in or dining out?"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain Life is wonderful and LOVE conquers all.These are my words: God did not create you to suffer through life. Appreciate and respect what you have, even if it isn't much, and make the most of what life has to offer for you! There are a few words that I believe in: Faith, Hope, Love, Forgiveness, Patience, Trust and the Truth. The motivation to NEVER GIVE UP!!! Seek after what your heart most desires. A lesson I've learned. DON'T hold back. Say it all. Risk it all. Face your fears. Forgive wrongdoings. Learn from your mistakes. AND move on- if you can't forget. Everyone and everything deserves a few chances, maybe more than a second chance sometimes. Let time take its course. and that "Your imperfections are what makes you beautiful" and You are worth more than any diamond. Let love find you. Don't let failure become an option in your life, even if it is up against the biggest challenges and disappointments. Cherish the moment and think with realistic optimism. Your path of destiny has been planned, but its up to you on how you'll reach it, how you control it, how you live it.

My Interests

"The most wonderful of all things in life is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvellous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life." ~ by Sir Hugh Walpole ~I'll pick you up when you are down. I'll make you smile when you have a frown. No more worries. No more scares.
