L.A. is my L.A.dy

So anyway, my name is David. I'm 17 and I live in Florida, USA. For the most part, I like to think that I'm pretty easy-going, I don't really get mad that often. My life doesn't revolve​ around anything, like a lot of people say, but I love sports and music. I've played classical and acoustic guitar for about eight years now (although I should be a lot better than I am, haha). Oh, and I've played bass for about 4 years, but I'm really nothing special. I love to laugh (then again, who doesn't?). I love trying new things, and I definitely love meeting new people. Oh, I'm in the IB (Internation​al Baccalaureat​e) Program, which hasn't taught me much besides how to spell Baccalaureat​e right... And I think I used the word "I" about eighty times just now.

I was born in Manila, Philippines,​ and I moved to the United States when I was really young, so I never really go to learn a lot of Tagalog, which I'd like to. I lived in California, before I moved here to Florida. It's not so bad here, but it gets a little dull every once in a while.

Anyway, I'm fully fluent in English. And the only reason I put Spanish on there is because I've taken eight years of it, and I really should be able to hold up a conversation​ by now. (Don't take that as a challenge...​=x)


Places I've visited:
Manila, Philippines.​
Paris, France.
Lyon, France.

There's a lot I left out about myself, but feel free to ask.

oh, and sleeping. i love sleeping.
