About me PERSONALLY:
I am a vivacious, witty, bright, energetic and approachable Boriqua woman with a silly sense of humor and a love of the small pleasures in life. I'm a surgical tech and an artisan who runs my own hand-made-jewelry biz. It's called Sapphire & Ice Originals. I like to be active in my community and am an avid human rights advocate. Contact me if your organization needs volunteer work or donations of my hand-crafted artwork for a warranted charity or event and I will be happy to oblige!

I enjoy life. I want to try everything once. In fact, was thinking of joining a running or hiking group for fun, or maybe a bicycling group, or something crazy like that. Also, I of course LOVE to go out dancing and meet new people. I am very personable and intellectual. I like to cook gourmet meals from recipe books and just add my own little touches of spice. I might want to join a culinary club, too. LOL. I just love to be stimulated. I also enjoy fine wine, international cuisine, watching movies and cuddling with my partner, drawing/painting/sculpting, playing with my dogs and 2 kids, and going to the beach!

I am considered a left-and-right-brained type of person-I am technical and artistic at the same time, and I also am ambidextrous. I am in a committed relationship with someone I love dearly, so if there are friendly couples out there looking for double date partners, look no further! If you share my political or personal interests, or would like more information about my hand-crafted-jewelry business, drop me a line!

DEBATE: SUPERMAN STRENGTH OR BATMAN BRAINS: WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT? Although I am an avid devotee of both Superman and Batman, amongst other superheroes, I must choose Superman, if judging on grounds of who has more strength, power and agility. Now if I were to judge on grounds of who is the craftier, sharper and more practical of the two, this would be a totally different article. I would be on Batman's side. Here are my reasons for ultimately choosing Superman: FREAKISH STRENGTH: With the ability to lift heavy objects like steel beams, how can a better than average human being like Bat...
