About me:

I'm a music geek. I also love pork, in its glorious array of forms, both as a noun and a verb. I'm a lover of cream, different mushrooms, cheeses and fat. I'm a staunch Filipina-Canadian, though I love California. I love conspiracy theories. I hate that I'm 30 already. My biggest weakness is my Gemini-ness. I wish that I had multiple lifetimes to play all of the different music I want to play and travel everywhere I want to go...

Who I'd like to meet:

Fellow hedonists.

Interests

General
Music, languages, eating, dancing, fashioning culinary masterpieces, shoes (sigh...), colour, in everything, seeing great concerts, playing soccer.
Music
Anything with an interesting beat/rhythm, delicious harmonies, and/or pathetic, desperate melody. That's what I like :) Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Schumann, Strauss, Faure melodie, Mozart and verismo opera, Reich, Keiko Abe, Mason Bates. I also love Chucho, Danilo Perez, Chick Corea, Gary Burton, Makoto Ozone, Herbie, Weather Report, Jobim. My female muses are Cassandra Wilson, Susana Baca, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Les Nubians and Imogen Heap. My brother, Jonas, is a pretty awesome singer/songwriter, and my boyfriend's band, Echo Falls, makes me soft and mellow. I LOVE timba, dancehall, good reggaeton, and highlife. I was really into Van Halen, Weird Al and Rush as a child of the 80's.
Movies
Colargol (Générique de début)

Voici le générique de début de la série Colargol en version française.
I don't really watch movies, because I have a really short attention span. BUT, I've liked Amelie, The Red Violin, Atom Egoyan, Innaritu and Almodovar films. I like documentaries on musicians, animals and inuits. I've also LMFAO at White Chicks, Naked Gun and Police Academy....
Television
When I was six, I loved TVO shows from the 80's, like Jeremy the Bear, Barbapapa and Ludwig the Egg. I stopped watching TV looooong ago....
Books
Anything about accompanying by Gerald Moore or Robert Spillman. My fave poets are Neruda, Petrarch, Goethe, Apollinaire, Verlaine and Baudelaire. I've read Love in the time of Cholera probably six times. I love Borges, Garcia Marquez, Jessica Hagedorn, Carlos Bulosan, Marianne Villanueva, and Leny Strobel. If I had enough time to read, I'd attack Toni Morrison, Rousseau, Foucault's Pendulum, Rayuhuelas, Robertson Davies, my philosophy texts...
Heroes
Lapu-Lapu, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Nietzsche, Brahms, Carlos Bulosan, my Lolo, my Dad, Clara Schumann, Jose Rizal, Bev Johnson, Edwidge Danticat.
