ABOUT ME

This is what my ex wrote about me:

"I have known Don Do for more than 2 years. Over that time, Don has shown himself to be a intelligent, passionate and dedicated individual whose goal is to improve and protect the world's environment through international law. Although he appears to be quietly-spoken and shy, Don is actually a really fun and easy-going guy, full of surprises, with a wide range of interests and plenty of stories to tell about the things he has experienced.

Don is constantly finding ways to challenge himself, whether that be mentally or physically. He sets and strives for high standards for himself in work and learning, and excels in all academic pursuits. Don also continues to push himself physically, having engaged in various extreme sports (skydiving, bungy jumping) and now setting his sights on running a marathon. As such, Don also prides himself on being adventurous, always on the pursuit of new knowledge, always willing to try new and different activities and travelling to discover culture, art, history and music.

Although he is adventurous and spontaneous, Don is genuine and lives his life with integrity. He is caring, kind and and compassionate towards others and as a result, people find it easy to connect with him and become friends.

Apart from all that, he also cooks well and is tidy and clean."

PHILOSOPHY

"Live, learn, love."
