I'm not judging; I'm just making an observation.

About Me

In a nutshell: married since April 2000 (I have the best husband ever), daughter of Virginia and Pablito, best friend to Michelle and Sandy, teacher of Spanish and Dance, Filipina (Board Chairperson for the Fil-Am Association of San Diego North County), petite (yes, short), LOVE to travel (wish I had more $ and freetime to do it more often), love to read (still have about 20 books in queue and keep on buying more and more all the time), love to eat (too bad I don't love to exercise as much as I love to eat), love to nap (since I'm done with work every other day at 11:37 a.m., I have time to do that), don't like Brussel Sprouts, love being a carnivore and proud of it, I delight in watching foreign films, I speak two languages well (English and Spanish), I understand a third one (Tagalog) but have to respond in English, and I'm learning another (French), I want to learn to cook better, I love to crochet, I'm right-handed and left-footed (I made that up), and I love going to Disneyland.
