I am currently working as a wed developer who had a brief stint as a cook. Have a couple of years living in Toronto and enjoying the hell out of it. Love to walk/ride around the city and be in places where I hadn't been before. Among the things I enjoy are photography, cycling around town, exploring the city, tea and cooking.

Enjoying Toronto. This is an awesome city, and just being here makes me happy. There're art, music, food, events and just good times to be had pretty much all year long.

Am also a bit focused on my career. The corporate world is not the most fun of places, but I am lucky enough to work at a place with plenty of opportunities and good people.

I think I am good at stuff that requires rational thinking, consider myself a decent soccer player, scrapping my shoulders in door frames, cooking when in the mood (I make a mean Guac, and my flan is also pretty awesome if I may say so).

My accent. People ask about it.
My piercings.
Every couple of months is the hair.
My camera.

I also believe the resonator guitar is the best musical instrument ever made. There is sometimes an old man playing it at Osgoode station. It os difficult for me not to stay for a few minutes and listen to him,

Food: Mexican, Japanese (sushi and udon just make me feel good), Thai. I have a really sweet tooth, and also have the opinion that really few things can beat a good serving of poached eggs with hollandaise and an English muffin. Brunch is always welcome and awesome. I love philly cheese steak when it's good, which has been something difficult to attain since Manhattan sandwiches closed down.

TV: Star Trek (original series), Lost, It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Newsradio, The Venture Bros, BSG (although I only watched the first two seasons and have been meaning to watch the rest of the series for a while now), Quantum Leap.

Bicycle. I both live and work downtown, so there's no better way for me to move around the city.

Camera. Every time I go out without it I feel as if something's missing.
A book in hand. You never know when you'll end up waiting for something. Said that, I have accumulated way too many books and the "to-read" pile just keeps getting bigger.

Music. I don't like MP3 players that much to be honest. If I am taking the subway I rather read, and when walking I'd rather pay attention to what's around me, said that, music has always been important for me. Some people and moments of my life are very intimately attached to some songs, and just get nostalgic/sad/happy when as soon as it comes out.

Messenger bag, to carry the book and whatnot... and it's not a murse (man-purse) goddammit.

Tea or coffee. I try to only drink one cup of coffee per day, usually in the morning when I get to work, to get start pounding some work. Then I keep up with some tea.Earl grey for the afternoon and usually rooibos for the night.

Chamomile. Better than drugs, and even if some people call it tea, it is not really tea. Drinking this before bed is just amazing, and I am just afraid I'd end up being unable to sleep without taking a cup of this, and even more afraid that one day I'll way cup and it's going to be illegal.

My passport. Wouldn't be able to be here without it. I also plan to start using it a lot more in the coming years.

Pastries!

And yeah, that is more than six. Take that OKCupid!

My brain is a weird beast shifting my thoughts from one interest to another every now and then. These interest "cycles" usually last a few weeks, and are usually revisited by my brain every few other weeks. Sometimes they last for months, and this is also the way in which I have acquired some more permanent hobbies, like photography and bike-riding.

Friday nights are usually spent with my friends at a pub, just talking about this and that, catching up on the occurrences of the week, making fun at one another.

Then maybe hitting last call at java house (two blocks from my place) with my roomates, and coming back with a buzz to sing in rock band (self-aggrandized videogaming karaoke). I also have a terrible singing voice!

I like whipped cream in my latte. Not very private yeah, but as private as I am willing to go. I am very wary about broadcasting my stuff over the interwebs.

You want to explore the city, be it by looking for fine places to eat, walking around and taking photographs, or just be lost in conversation.

You want to share a cup of tea or coffee and a long winded chat.
