About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meeting new people and making new friends !

PHILOSOPHY

Do not do unto others what you would not have them do unto you!

Give to everyone who asks from you and from one who takes away your things, don't ask for them back!

Friendship doubles your joys and divides your sorrows!
