Good Things Come in Small Packages

About Me

I am Japanese American with a strong hawaiian style who is 4'10'' with long black hair. I consider myself to be somewhat shy at first but after you get to know me I am down to earth. I live in Hacienda Heights and work at Whittier Hospital in the ER as a unit clerk, formely as an admitting clerk. I will be soon leaving Whittier Hospital after almost 7 years, but finally moving on to bigger and better things. I have an older sister who lives about 2 minutes away, who has brought into this world the cutest nephew named Matthew Cole and an older brother who lives in torrance and is doing very well at being a financial consultant for a large company. Although I have two older parents, they enjoy life to its fullest...work hard first then enjoy the rewards....

My Interests

I have a long background of playing music. Started violin when I was 3, piano when I was 7 and flute when I was 11. I've constantly been surrounded by music my whole life and wouldnt be able to live without it. My other interests include scrapping (currently working on one), watching tv (especially ER, CSI, American Idol, the Cooking Network), hanging out with my one and only Kuma, and just chilling with friends and family.

I'd like to meet:

I have actually already met the one person that adds that special touch to my life. Quite simply, he's my perfect match. He's the one person that makes all meals taste so much better, makes driving much more interesting with our wide variety of topics, makes lounging around the house watching tv more comfortable. He's passionate about life and only wants the best for everyone around him. He's loving, honest, so very giving, never forgets to tell me how much he loves me and always gives those little extra comments everyday that brings such a smile to my face. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us...

Music:

Mostly I love classical but over the past couple of years, I have grown accustomed to Jazz Classics. Don't really listen to punk or alternative or country rock that much but if it has a good tune, why not?

Movies:

oh mi gosh...do you have time? I love Pearl Harbor, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Notebook, Hope Floats, Serendipity, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Hitch, Dances with Wolves, Armaggedon and many more..again..i think ill update this one later too...sorry guys

Television:

Hmmm...well, now that I work day shift and not my crazy graveyard I have lots more time to watch tv. So that being said, my favorite shows right now are ER, CSI, Cooking Shows, Everybody loves Raymond, Friends, Trading Spouses ( i kno..kinda weird, huh?) American Idol, Survivor (thanks Kuma for getting me hooked...jk), and any good movies on HBO that happen to be on when I turn on the Tv...hehe

Books:

Ok...now here's something that I've been wanting to expand on for awhile. I am still wanting to finish reading Memoirs of a Geisha, although I purchased it quite a long time ago...other than that..i love reading romance novels....no author in particular

Heroes:

I know this may sound corny, but my parents are actually my heroes. As I get older, it seems that time with them is more valuable. I have always observed how my mom takes care of my dad and I hope to someday be able to provide the same for my husband. After 30 years, they are still happily married and seems like they get closer every year. Saying the exact same phrases at the exact same time, finishing each others' sentences makes both of them laugh and roll their eyes...a quality which I will enjoy with my one and only kuma someday..
