Get Your Sexy Name


OH SNAP!! Well let see I'm half black/Japanese, as my sister would put it BLACKANESE!!! Lived most of my life in Japan and Im a Navy Brat!!! Most of my family still lives back home except my brother who is lives up in the valley (san Fernando valley). Im currently holding it down in the OC representin GG, that’s Garden Grove for those who don’t know. Live close enough to the merriest place on earth (dittneyland)that I hear their nightly fireworks. If you’ve never been to the area I live smack dead in the middle of asia town where you can have Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai etc etc food any time of day or week. Best place to live if you love to eat like me. I just need to learn portion control which I tend to ignore every time I do go out to eat. The weather of course if the best. My blood has thinned out now so anything below 60 is cold to me and it takes a while to get adjusted when I visit colder climates. I still love the cold weather though. Actually my favorite time of year is fall. Love the colors of the leaves turning.... yeah I know palm trees don’t change colors. The crisp coolness in the air..... again I know it don’t get that crisp unless your up in the mountains. I guess my love for Autumn is from living back in Japan. The winter was too cold, Spring was too wet and Summer was just too muggy and Fall was just right!!! Japan is home and will always love it!!! For those of you who don’t know me very well I’m very easy going and like to hang out with friends over a good meal and bustin a gut!! Hmmm Im a tomboy, which means I don’t care much for shopping unless I really have to get something. Im not into shoes or handbags, getting my nail or my hair done. I like sports, Ok watching sports rather than playing on TV and going to the games. Football (Redskins), Basketball (Lakers), Baseball (Yankees), Hockey (NY Rangers). If I had a garage it would be hooked up with some serious craftsman tool. Fixing and messing with cars and car parts was something I really enjoyed doing growing up in Japan. They had the best gadgets to put in and on your car. There is finally a word that describes my love of food a “foodie”. I’ve always loved good food as a kid. The mom & pop restaurants for some good ole down home cooking as well as dining at a very nice restaurant. Sorry I don’t cook gourmet just eat that way. I can still do my job in the kitchen though. My Favorite holiday is Halloween you can tell by the pics I have posted!!! That’s one day you can be anything you want and nobody can say shit about it. I love all types of animals but prefer dogs as pets, Im allergic to cats. If I could have a monkey I would. I like anything Science fiction. If it wasn’t for math I would have chosen a career is astronomy. Damn freaking numbers got in the way of that dream.... haha. I like UFO stuff, astrology and reading my Horoscope, getting physchic and tarot readings. Hey they are pretty accurate. Just remember free will prevails over all. I had 2 dogs (Nana and Aki) till this past January 6 and April 17th 2007. Aki passed away after 14 years and Nana after 16 years. I have posted a blog about Aki and Nana so have a read and see their pix below...
Also my newest baby Kuma arrived a few weeks after Nana's passing. My first boy. So far he is growing up to be a good decent and happy boy!!! He will be one years old on 3/30/08!!! ..
Hey Im a MONKEY......THE SIGN OF THE MONKEYMonkeys are fun-loving people who really enjoy a good time with friends, family or anyone else for that matter. They love practical jokes and like to play tricks on colleagues and friends alike. Monkeys tend to stir up trouble simply out of boredom, which can end up being more hurtful than they intended. Often, when this causes trouble, they expect others to understand it was all a joke and to deal with the consequences on their own.Monkeys are curious creatures as well. Some people call them nosy. Others call them interested. The Chinese say they are just downright curious. Although gifted with a strong intellect, creativity and intuition are nor their fortes. They can’t put themselves in your shoes even if they try and will become easily distracted or confused.CHARACTERISTICSImaginative, responsible, humorous, witty, curious, clever, sneakyTHE EARTH MONKEY 1908 AND 1968These Monkeys are pretty by-the-book. They are diligent, motivated individuals, honest and trustworthy. They are calm and collected, genuinely concerned for the betterment of others. They are serious about their occupations and their friendships and are more dependable than most. Earth Monkeys devote themselves completely to causes and people they love and believe in. They don’t have much of an ego because they are such genuine human beings. They demand respect and can pitch a fit if not shown what they believe they deserve..................................................... ...
