I used to like playing with my friends, eating in the restaurants, studying and doing my homework. I used to dislike listening to heavy metal music because to me the heavy metal is very boring and reading a book.


NOW: Actually, I am fifteen years old. I have short hair too and I have got glasses. I  have had the glasses since 2004. I am fun and very pessimistic. I´am not as shy as before but I´am not an outgoing person. I enjoy playing computer games and playing football with my friends. I hate studying now, doing my homework too and I hate cleaning my bedroom because my bedroom is very large.
