Who I Am.


My name is Daniel Flores.  I am a nice person and my hobbies include but are not limited to: playing instruments, painting, and playing games.  I can play many different instruments but the main ones I focus on are Piano, Cello, Guitar (electric and acoustic), Soprano Saxophone, and keyboards (xylophone, marimba, vibraphone, etc.).  When it comes to painting, I am very good at painting miniature figurines.  I usually buy space men figurines.  I enjoy all types of games, whether they be electronic or tabletop.  My favorite board game is Monopoly and my favorite video game is called "Peggle".  Other than what I do for fun, I am a nice person that enjoys life.

What I believe to be the most important thing to me... is me.  I live a nice life and would not trade it for anything in the world.  It is important that I live life to the fullest.  Therefore, I shall live with no regrets.  That is important to me because I will know that I've always tried my best and reached out as far as I can.

I am a baptized Catholic.  I believe that we will be judged by our actions after death and therefore I live everyday with that in mind.  It has gotten me very far.  I don't go to mass, I don't pray, and I don't really care about how my life should be shaped by the Bible.  Do I condemn religion? No- again, if we are judged by our actions than I don't think God would care whether or not I talked to him everyday of the week or on Sundays as long as I was doing good for someone else.

I am half Filipino and half America.  I don't attribute any sort of significance to cultural background because it is not important.  I am not going to throw on a toga and dance around a roasting pig because my ancestors did so 200 years ago.  Whatever traditions my parents decided to make relevant are the ones I followed (ex. Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving, ...)

I hope that I can look at all the things I've done in life and not have a single regret.  I don't care if I make a lot of money- as long as I have fun.  I hope for the strength to stop doing something that I do not like and pursue something I do enjoy.
