CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I've been living in Japan for a few years and currently living with my boyfriend, Jay, who has lived here most of his life.
I play taiko drums and would like to start playing softball again if only I could find a team.
Jay likes sports, specifically soccer and tennis. Also video games, anime and manga.
Jay speaks Japanese fluently, as well as Tagalog and Waray. I'm decent at Japanese, trying to remember Spanish and currently studying Tagalog.

もう数年間日本に住んでいて、今彼氏と一緒に暮らしている。彼は子供のころから日本に住んでいる。
私は和太鼓をやっている。またソフトボールをやりたいけどチームがない。
彼はスポーツが好きで、特にサッカーとテニスが好きだ。彼は日本語がペラペラでタガログ語やワライ語も話せる。私なら日本語はまあまあだけど、スペイン語やタガログ語も勉強中です。

PHILOSOPHY

No one else is going to make you laugh, so make fun for yourself. Live with no regrets, in the present, and try not to worry too much about the future.
