Introduction As an ARIES born in the Year of the DRAGON, I'm a do-er and a shaker but equally complacent. Love to be in the spotlight but also shy away from it. Can work a room with ease but afterwards I need my space, peace, and solitude. In a nutshell, I'm complex, spiritual, dual, paradoxical, and BALANCED. I'm restless yet grounded, introverted yet extroverted, generous yet prudent, feminine yet masculine, casual yet formal, rational yet emotional. My pet peeves in no particular order: 1)Clutter & Mess 2)Feet - I can't begin to even explain my dislike for them - dunno, I guess clean ones I can tolerate. It's just amazing how gross and dirty they can get. 3) Getting out of the shower dripping wet. Towel off in the tub for goodness sakes! Countries I've been to: Canada (yeah, doesn't count), Philippines (the homeland!), Hong Kong, Bermuda, the Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, US Virgin Islands, Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Tanzania, South Africa, England, France, Portugal. My promise to ME: see a new country every year.

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

Bad karma accumulation indeed! What's worse than being dirty with mud, having it squish between my webbed feet & a limited diet of flies?!?!!
