I
am 51 years of age, a Catholic by birth, living in Arlington, Texas.
I was born in Sri Lanka. I speak English, Spanish, and Sri-Lankan.
I got my degree in Music and Speech at the Trinity College of London, and
I also have an extensive experience in keyboard music. I play both
classical and pop piano. I was married for 29 years, and have been
divorced since November 5, 1997. These last two years have been the
best years of my life, unfettered by an abusive husband, a bad marriage,
and dysfunctional family life in my childhood. I have two lovely
children who are the love of my life. At present, I am dating a wonderful
American who was born and bred in Fort Worth, and who has never milked
a cow, nor roped a horse. His name is Shawn.
My
daughter is a doctor, and my son is a computer engineer--both live in Dallas,
far enough for them to mind their own business (not mine), but close enough
for me to be able to see them on the weekends. My loving personality,
a good sense of humor, coupled with a romantic nature, and my love of life,
seem to draw people to me, and they enjoy being around me.
When
I came to America in 1981, I instantly fell in love with this place.
It embodies everything that I believe in. The true meaning of freedom
of speech and expression lies here in America. I have many interests
and many friends, from all over the world. I play Bridge and Pinochle
and Mahjongg and other Board games. I used to love dancing, both
ballroom and country and western dance, but with my arthritis and asthma
I now find it quite impossible to dance. I love animals and I have
three dogs. I love to read books, and listen to music in my spare
time, when I am not teaching. I have traveled the world and given
speeches and motivational talks to many organizations. In my spare
time I love to watch TV and go to movies. I also love to work out
at the Health Club, in water aerobics (my favorite physical activity).
I am not a very physically active person; more inclined to do "stuff" that
involves the brain, rather than the body. I am quite a night person,
because my teaching usually takes place after school, so my workday starts
at around 4 p.m. I do not smoke (abhor the smell of cigarettes),
but do drink once in a while. I am both left and right brained (creative
and analytical), and I usually communicate with words, deeds, and touch.
I attend church every week, and I would describe myself as affectionate,
cheerful, creative, enthusiastic, funny, generous, happy, imaginative,
musical, optimistic, philosophical, playful, spontaneous, trustworthy,
and witty.
My
health is not good at present as I am battling asthma, arthritis, fibromyalgia
and other related ills, but my optimistic attitude towards life helps me
to battle my illnesses. I have a great faith in God and my faith
carries me through my days, so that I always see the best in everything
that happens to me. My policy is "to live life to the fullest, one
day at a time". |
