About Me

CURRENT MISSION

color rainbow bright my life and others too!

ABOUT ME

I'm a very accomodating person, easy to be with, since I'm a Filipina, I think its not surprising, we are known to be hospitable and cheerful with our guest. I have a 6- year old daughter, and I'm happily married with my American husband .Right now I'm happy and contented with how things are going.I'm very outgoing and love to travel and to try new and different things, and doing this couch surfing thing is somehow interesting,to meet people and share culture.I'm honestly a laid back person even though I don't come across as one. I have a terrible tendency to talk too quickly and forget where I was going with my sentence. I aspire to be an ethnically ambiguous, polyglot (speak french,italian, chinese etc), fiddle player in a rock band-I dont have the chinese or the fiddle playing thing going for me yet, but I have the ethnic ambiguity down pat. I also secretly aspire to be a socialite domestic goddess but really only in the realm of interior design and cooking because I can be rather awkward with partying and stuff. I fancy the peace corp thing and be a volunteer of UN someday...I'm ashamed to drink crappy beer-sometimes?hahaha! I'll take two. I have self diagnosed adult ADHD and I truly believe that the homeless guy down the corner is a prophet.

I'm generally a pretty grounded person, but have just a couple of things that I feel entitled to being snobby about. I'm particular about the proper pronunciation of bruschetta (pron. brus'ket'ta in English, /bɾu'sketta/ in Italian,..."theres no -sh sound, people"!).

I'm terrible at conclusions.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a person who believes in equality and fairness.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to watch a lot of movies, there so many to mention but action kung-fu ones, invigorates me. I usually listen to Rythm and blues but house and techno catches my attention now.The recent book I am reading is by Robin Sharma...I like reading a lot, and that is just one in my long list.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far right now, I think Scuba Diving, its pretty scary at start, but once you are able to get the hang of it, it pretty fun and exciting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wanted to learn about different culture, and language too.
