- In response to: "What do you do on the side?" I LOVE taking pictures. In fact, my friends like to tell me I have my camera velcroed to my hand at all times. Photography is my favorite hobby.

"Smile. It enhances your face value." I think we often forget that we are judged every day by people who don't even know us, based on our outward appearances. When I meet someone for the first time, if they have a big smile on their face, then I automatically like them. If I approach someone with a frown however, I am immediately skeptical about that person and if I want to be around that kind of negativity.

- I'll spend my golden years in Barcelona, Spain.

I fell in love with that city back in college. And every time I visit, I never want to leave. I adore modern art, so there is always something amazing to discover there. And the water is beautiful. White sand beaches. Beautiful weather. Amazing public transportation. Easy access to the Eurorail. I would move there in a minute if I had money ;-).

"En boca cerrada no entran moscas." In English it literally translates to "In a closed mouth, flies don't enter." Basically, it means "mum's the word," "silence is golden." Sometimes people just need to learn to keep their big mouths shut. I can think of one person in particular who really needs to learn this lesson.

- A day without a cell phone

The longest I have ever gone without my cell phone was when Yaneev stole it from me for a day. I was going through withdrawals. It was very difficult being apart from my beloved ;-).

- Bay Street Cafe is great for drinks with an old friend

Somehow I always end up there with old friends from high school. I guess old habits die hard. Comfy couches, great drinks, friendly baristas.
