About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, teach, smile, enjoy, hug, live...

ABOUT ME

Hi! I would describe myself as very laid back and peaceful. I spend most of my time just chilling with family and friends...and studying. I'm a biology graduate student. I love going out in nature and discovering new places.
I call myself a wannabe positivist hahaha...Well, only because I always try to look at things from their bright side and I'm always smiling (even in the crappiest situations).

When I find the time I love coloring my skin with henna art and I love doing random "do it yourself" projects...oh if only I had more time!! :)

I haven't had the chance to travel a lot so far but I'm looking forward to it.

My reply rate is quite low, I'm sorry...I'm very forgetful and most of the time my roommate (also a CS member) is hosting so I can't accept people at the same time and I forget to reply. So, if you really want me to reply, insist a bit! Nag me! I don't mind a reminder from time to time. :)
