Music

Old songs, I think more romantic, you can compare the lyrics of "Fly Me to the Moon" with songs in your discotheque (e.g. Wannabe- Spice Girls.) Please try to listen Stan Getz (the Peacocks, Ligia, Anna,) or Dinah Washington (What a Different a Day Made... is You!,) or Sarah Vaughan (Body & Soul.)

Lyrics of my favourite romantic songs

Cooking (one of my main hobbies beside playing music & reading)

Reading Books (early 1998, I had read a lot more of books & journals since 1998)

My other favourites (scientist, movies, actress, etc.)

"I HAVE A DREAM...

My little children, one day live in a nation

where they will not be judged by the color of the skin

but by the content and the characters.

I Have a Dream Today!"

Martin Luther King Jr.1963
