About me

Everytime I can... I like to drive.
A defect I have... is to be stubborn.
I think my best quality is... to be simple.
I have the habit of... isolate myself.
The biggest error in my life was... always play safe.
I'd like to be more like... someone I still haven't found.
If I ruled the world... environment would be the priority.
I have been forgetting... the hardships of life.
I'm affraid... life isn't allways good.
I'd like to have courage to... stand up sometimes.
I can't stand... portuguese TV.
Nothing makes me more mad than... the lack of respect some people show to others.
I can't resist... a nice smile.
I'm embarrassed everytime... someone praises me.
I'm easily touched by... the helpfulness of some people.
I laugh out loud when... someone tells a good joke.
The biggest joy I could have is... I'll let you know when I find out.
