CURRENT MISSION

I hope to speak Japanese more fluently this year!!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Filipino/Spanish Chinese who was born and raised in the Philippines and used to live in Taiwan for more than 20 years, now living in Osaka, Japan.I'm a passionate teacher/translator and a best friend you can ever imagine (personal opinion only lol!) I love kids and am very patient with them (unlike with men). I love reading, cooking, playing volleyball/football, writing, travelling, watching DVDs, making friends and having a relaxing time with my love ones. My dream is to have enough sleep every day to get rid of my eye bags and to live with my beloved family happily ever after (if my son still wants to be with us after he turns 10). And of course, to visit all the places I want to go to(ex. Mars or Venus or the Moon). I respect hard working people, and I know it's really hard to keep positive all the time. Keeping faith is something really important though. When you have it, you survive, even during your most difficult time. So, let's be friends! Good friendship is always refreshing! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Make Every Day a New Beginning! Good things will always happen to people who have faith and hope. Keep going :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many movies and books I love. Difficult to name just a few. I love pretty much all kinds of music.

I'm a bookworm. I love reading very much and can go on with lots of books at the same period of time. But no financial planning stuff of course(I'll fall asleep within seconds) <---a tip for you if you think I'm boring (Bore me back then!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Giving birth to my son EJ, travelling by myself for nearly 4 months when I was younger, having an amazing glass of juice while feeling thirsty to death after walking for 2 hours, seeing a skinny girl's beautiful smile in a very poor village after I gave her a piece of chocolate. Trust me, these things either make you smile, or weep.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what I can "teach". I'm already a teacher/translator, but I'm willing to share what I can with others. And learning things is always one of my biggest interests, so I would like to learn more about other cultures, languages, history or anything about the universe.
