Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Its a but challenge for me saying what is really my objectives in life. We all want to be successful and live for it. I want to be one of the best CHEF in this world (well there's no harm for dreaming). I'm aiming things high... I GO FOR IT!
ABOUT ME
I am half Spanish and half Filipina yet I grew up here in the Philippines for 24 years of my life. I come from a close-bonded family and we were brought up bringing the values of being Religious. --- I am describing my family root.
Now, I am going to talk about myself.
I was born having a Heart Decease, VSD (Ventra Septal Deffect ---> a hole in the ventricle wall of my heart) I had my surgery last Dec.04, 2001 at Montefiore Hospital Bronx New York It was successful. I have 3brothers and 2 half brothers. I am in the 3rd rank and the only daughter.
SIBLINGS:
1ST- 29 years old (SEAFERER)
2nd- 26 years old (BANKER)
3rd- me (ENGLISH TUTOR & REAL ESTATE AGENT)
4th- 23 years old, half brother in my mom's side (SEAFERER)
5th- 20 years old (SEAFERER)
6th- 5 years old, half brother in my dad's side, now in US with my dad.
Well I know having half brothers from both my mom and dad seems to be unusual to you reading that after having half brother from my mother side I got another pure brother from both mom and dad. These explains it, when , I was then 1 year old that time, my mother got an affair with other man while my dad was working at Saudi. But then, because of these what they called as martyr love, my dad still accepted my mom even though my mom cheated on him. Then here I got pure brother in both mom&dad which is now 20 years old. 2 years after my brother was born, my mom died, I was then 7 years old that time. 13 years after my mom died my father decided to get married to a Filipina doctor which he met at California, but before that he got long-termed girlfriend which lasted for 12 years, year after my mother's death. Some of my family where already in USA, 2sisters and 1 brother of my father and some of there children as well including my dad and his new wife and son. Most of us are into medical field (DOCTORS & NURSES -- some are still nursing student).
From these I don't know if you happen to get interested reading my family background yet telling things about my root is a factor to be considered to know me well because they are who I am right now. Though my father has new family, he never abandoned us with financial support and until now he is still supporting my 2nd eldest brother's family (his wife and my two nieces) and my 20 years old brother. I know if you'll know the things I have been experiencing right now, maybe you are going to nagged me or what just like my dad and my family as well. Yet I am proud of what I have been achieving, little by little, living independently which I only experience now because I live far from my family.
When it comes to my attitude, I am a bit aggressive and arrogant yet I am now trying to control it because these things are trying to pull me down for me not to achieve things in what I want to be. I am optimistic and idealistic.
I want to meet or to have a conversation with people who have the intelligence of letting me learn new things regarding life and some things which is to be considered as prior in life. Intelligence is very important to me because without these it will be hard to cope up the real meaning of challenge.
I am in these site for a reason of boredom and to accompany you if you are planning to travel in my place.
Now... Did these things which I wrote make sensible for what we are looking for?
Before ending up this note I will introduce to you myself which I should have done before sharing about my family background,. I'm Ghia from the Philippines and I am presently working as a Freelance English Tutor for some Koreans, Chinese and Japanese and a REAL ESTATE AGENT as well.
Hope I challenge you with these...
PHILOSOPHY

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I had met few people which I knew in some sites through having Lunch Out or Dine Out. And to be honest I am very particular with a person which I happen to have conversation in a good sense and got sense of humor. Well being intelligent is a matter of conversation. But I can get along with all kinds of personality. :)

I love playing few sports such as Bowling and Billiard. I can swim as well. But mist likely I enjoy card games like scrabble, word puzzle and some intellectual games that may render from having wide ideas and learnings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I did in my life was when I run away our home and tried living all by myself without my family's financial support. Its been year since then I haven't went back to them. For me, its amazing because I survive living without them for the first time in my life.
