Things Happen For A Reason...

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Ever been criticized because you were too beautiful? or "to well spoken to be black? Hated on and told you never amount to nothing by your own family? Lost both your parents and things get so rough that you start to question GOD on your very existence? Had your heart broken so many times you lose count? The only reason i'm still here in this harsh cruel world is because of GOD.......It's been a few years since I've seen most of you so for all you old people (and newcomers) to my page.....I'm Sylvia. I'm a very laid back low maintenance girl...and just like the saying goes "I work hard therefore I play hard". I'm a workaholic (I'm a full time wife and the night Manager for Club Iwakuni, so when I'm off the clock I like to have fun. I love to travel and explore my surroundings so I plan on making my tour here in Japan the best ever. Any questions feel free to ask. Stay blessed! Ciao!Youth have more power than most think.....let them lead.
