10 More Things About Me

As if you want to know!

1. I'm married to an Englishman. And, we have two gorgeous kids - a boy and a girl. Plus, a cavoodle dog named Blue.
2. I was born and raised in the Philippines. Then, I lived in the USA for a short time as a 'purposeful wanderer'. When I got married, I moved to Singapore. Now, I live in beautiful Australia with my family.
3. I have two brothers and a sister. I'm the eldest.
4. I have a Masters' degree in Applied Psychology. My four-year undergrad degree is also in Psychology.
5. I love to paint. I don't paint enough. I also love doing all sorts of other creative things: collage, mixed media art, crafts, cooking...
6. I got my driver's license at 32! And, I'm still terrified of driving.
7. I'm a published writer. I have a children's book and several articles, poetry, and stories in my publication clips collection.
8. I've always loved dancing and performing. But, these are dreams that went by the wayside. I'd love to be able to sing too, but my kids are the only fans of my voice (probably not for long!).
9. Somewhere in my past, I played the piano and the drums. If only I can do it again.
10. Getting to 10 has been tough. But, now that I'm here, I feel as though I need more numbers. Heh.
