Standing perturbed in front of the mirror, surveying deeply into the midst of her anomalous reflection, she contemplates the thoughts of the girl acutely staring back at her. Her eyes emit dismay and a sense of confusion. The girl she once controlled is now sculptured into one of society's trophey winning cynics.

Once thought to have a pure belief for fairytale endings her faith in the impossible would submit her into endless hurt. Though, regardless of knowing the consequenses to obscene believing, she continued to inject her blood with hallucinogens. She hoped, that maybe one day the drugs would finally give her the high she longed for.

Now, dumbfounded, she lookes deeper at her reflection, wondering what had happened to the opportunist she once knew. The smiles try to hide the pessimism, though the negative aura is radiated through her glassy eyes, mirroring the bemusement bellowing through her.

Society floods skepticism on love and romance, drowning the joys that she once tested and rejoiced in. The pressure of society forced her to abandon her identity. She no longer lulls over liaison, but feels the need to scamper at every romantic gesture. Every so called "unrealistic" notion of love she recieves, she neglects. Her inability to trust slowly eats the real her up.

People believe in fate because they want to believe that their love stories are preordained, a matter of destiny. But in actual fact the only thing that is certain is that everyone wants to fall in love and be loved. Who you happen to fall in love with is a matter of chance, not fate. And the probability that we're capable of falling in love with a whole range of people is something that most people refuse to acknowledge.

The literal deifnition of romance is 'fiction', something not real.

Or so she thinks. Deep down, she wants to dive into escapism, a fleeting moment that would lead her to fate, a future of contentment, and a future of love. She wouldn't mind the collective cliches about romance and love.

And in time she'll find her destiny, committing to someone she deserves, frightened she'll settle for anything less.

As you've guessed, my name is Thea which is greek for goddess. I'm a seventeen year old, who currently attends Macquarie University studying B-Comm accounting.

I was born on the eighteenth day of April 1990, which makes me a firey Aries and born in the year of the Horse, who has a love for diamonds and romance.

I am an only child which explains the abnormal behaviour I promulgate. Throughout the years I've learned how to entertain myself without turning into a complete psychopath. Unfortunately, I dislike the spoilt brat cliche I'm often imposed with. I don't consider myself a snob, who is obsessed with materialistic highs. Although I admit I can be a brat .. sometimes, especially when you push the wrong buttons.

I'd assume if you met me, you'd think I'm very much angelic, quiet & bubbly. Only the last would probably be true. I'd say I have split personalities, not only split but multiple! One day I could be tearing your head off, the next I'd be showering you with hugs & kisses. But one thing is certain, whatever my mood, I'll express it with my face & actions. I'm often told that I have mature thoughts, & that only applies sometimes as I'm a kid at heart.

My hair is naturally brown, so please don't annoy me by asking what colour dye I use. My father being spanish explains why an Asian like me doesn't have charcoal black hair. I was born and raised for four years in the Philippines until my family migrated to Australia.

Being asian has its quirks, such as having the ability to outrun anything, having a super fast metabolism, believing in the supernatural and being tiny enough to fit into small crevices. Or maybe the last aberration only applies to me, I'm what you would call 'petite.'

I follow the Catholic religion, so you'd probably see me attending church every Sunday morning or night and reading the bible for inspirational quotes on how to live my life. But this doesn't mean I'm perfect, I do of course have flaws.

You'll see me prowling around the area with mainly boys. Boys are genuine & don't usually obsess about useless gossips. I enjoy being one of the boys. Playing sports, being immature and immersing myself in obscure activities, which in most cases are illegal, absolutely hilarious and extremely fun!

Yes, I'm an athletic type. I'll be up for anything! Throughout my years, the sports that I have competed in have been Basketball, Indoor Soccer & Swimming.

Not only do I enjoy playing, but I love watching sports. What girl can resist hot, sweaty boys? With their big muscular arms and athletic body. Rugby does it for me! & those basketball & soccer players - oh damn.

I'm currently content with being single. I'm not looking for anything temporary, & I'm not really keen in looking or testing out the waters. But you know what they say, you think you know what you want .. but you really haven't a clue. If you're really something amazing, you may sweep me off my feet without me or you even knowing.

I have issues with technology, as I believe they killed any prospects of romance. Then again it could just be the boys of my generation that don't seem to have the romantic gene. Old fashioned dates is something I want revived!

Reading beautiful prose is what I live for. I'm what you would call a book nerd and I'm a sucker for Romance novels. Although a hearty laugh is what I love. Books allow me to escape into a realm on contentment, which my life usually lacks.

Throughout my life, I've met a few bad eggs, so don't hate if I have trust issues. I also have a habit of twisting your words to suit my frame of mind. It takes someone special to beat me at my mind games. My advise, give up & let me win, you'll do me & yourself a favour.

Feel privilaged if I call you a friend. This does not include if you are someone on my MSN list or if I have accepted you on myspace. But once you're in my little network of 'true friends' you'll be showered with love & appreciation. You'll also get an earful of how great I am & how lucky you are to have someone sexy like me in your life!

I'm going to end with the best thing to do in the world! & that is eating. It's my favourite thing to do! Food is the most beautiful thing on this whole entire planet. It never disappoints! More likely than not you'll find me chewing, if not, i'll have a bag of treats secretly stashed.
