I'm a half Italian half Japanese girl who works for a Filipino television station. I'm aspiring to work for Current TV, Vangaurd is my favorite show and ideal job. I live in California but was born on the east coast. Lived in Asia for 6 months, Vietnam was my favorite. I'm obsessed with food and everything about it. I subscribe to Complex magazine. I have one cat who never allows anyone to hold her. I wake up at 6:30am almost everyday. I work at a night club on the weekends. I've always wished I could perform any sort of poetry or spoken word in front of crowds.. and be good at it!
