About Me:
I am Peruvian. I was born and raised in Lima Peru untill I was 15 by my grandfather whom I call Dad, he is to me the greatest man alive and I love him very much. My brother and I came to the USA in 1991 to live with my real father. In Peru I had learned the hard way many things that should never happen to a kid but my brother and I survied, we came here and there was really no difference my brother and I worked many hours many times somewhere around 110 hrs per week with no day of for a year all to please one man so he could be proud of us, but he never show that he cared because he belived to be weak. Now at the age of 33 going to school full time and working full time, I know that succes will come in time and I don't regreat that my past was so harsh because it did not kill me it made me stronger and as long as I'm proud of my self and continue in that path of learning to live, that I will become the reality that my dreams are.
Finally I graduated from Millersville University with a BS Molecular Biology/Biochemistry and hope to be a scientist. So that some day I can help people. My dream is to hope that I have what it takes to get rid of some of those nasty diseases that make us sufer. My goal is to end that suffering, my mission is to help better this world.![]()

I work as a chef at a restaurant, I love cooking and creating new dishes. Cooking releases my creativity in wich a combination of flavors, presentation, time, and heart are required. got to love cooking,
I also work as a Lab research assistant and I love every minute of it.
A smile is the best way to start your day and hopefully you can go to sleep with that same smile. I love to smile and tried to stay happy for the rest of my day.
The Giant Pandas one of my favorite animals, some day I will travell to China so I can spend one day with with them, they are one of the most gracefully animals in the planet.
I love animation and Dragonball Z! is my favorite.
I'm also trying to write in my Blog now that I have a little of extra time, and hope that I can make it a habit. Same with reading my new books I tend to read more than one book at time, because I can't keep focus on one alone.
Right now I'm taking a summer class so it is kind of hard to keep up with all my acttivities.
I practice Martial Arts and Love weight trainning to help me keep in shape and balanced. I took Muy Thai and kickboxing for a couple of years when I was 16 and loved the sport. I miss training with my master, Now I just practice in my garage and I'm hoping to get a new punching Bag when school starts. School and my books take care of my mind, gym and martial arts my body and spirit, Job my crativity, Lacey my love and compassion, everything in life helps me shape to become better in all aspects of life.
We all are Z warriors with a mission, to help others and ourselves so that we can be better people and learn to live in peace.
I love Dog's .
I love dancing salsa, merenge, and most types of music. I'm a movies fanatic that can't wait till the movie comes out in video.
I just strated to draw again and I'm loving it. I hope that It becomes a habit because in that hour I just get lost and forget about the rest of the world. I think that this may help me when school starts again because it relaxes me. You can see some of my drawings here at Zaadz Photos



I also love studying about Buddism and Taoism, and tried to apply them as my way of life. I hope that some day I will reach equilibrium between myself and a world that some times is hard to find peace in. Like the Yin Yang a mutual colaboration, creating a perfect circle in which good and bad become something else.That shows the way to a higher self where bad and good no longer exist. When beings have attained enlightment, love, peace, and wisdom, are no longer just words we speak; they become a way of life.
I try to model my life after The Peaceful Warrior.
I am interested in energy and learning how to harness it in a positive way. I find that energy is us but we do not know how to use it well, but by learning everything about it from the molecular level to the actual doing/feeling we can become more than what we are and therefore attaining a more advanced perspective of life.
I am also interested in quantum physics, and I find super string theory and relativity very interesting, although some of the stuff is very hard to understand.
I LOVE THE MOVIE V FOR VENDETTA, is the best movie I seen this year.
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE AFRAID OF THEIR GOVERMENT, GOVERMENTS SHOULD BE AFRAID OF THEIR PEOPLE.

Tha man in the mask is all of us in many ways.

I can't wait to see The Way of The Peaceful Warrior movie, It is going to be great June 2. The book is my favorite, along with the prequal ”The Journey of Socrates.” They have both inspired me a lot and I reccomend them to anyone who believes there is a warrior within.






“A warrior does not give up what he loves
He finds the love in what he does”
Super Saiyin 3 Goku. One of my favorite characters and heros of Dragon Ball Z. I allways get inspired by his abilities to go beyond his capabilities and when I'm to tired or weak to do something I go super saiyin and get the job done.
“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself but to your own estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
Marcus Aurelius.
I love this quote.
