About Me

ABOUT ME

Well about myself...for sure Iam good company for a fun night out if you would ask me friends..Iam energetic,active,outgoing...laughing..laughing is an essential part of my (social)life..yes,you can consider me as a person who talks a lot,but Iam also a great listener,and open minded towards other people,cultures,etc,etc..and I have "adopted" the "no worries" mentality from the Australians..

PHILOSOPHY

"There are no strangers - only friends you haven't met yet"...ok,ok its no my own quotation but from the Dalai Lama:p

But it is how I feel about life: meeting people,be their guest or host, share my story and thoughts and listening to yours..and having a good time!
