I am sitting at my home here in Ohio telling you about my life today. My world is a big one, I was born as I was raised in thetropics of the Philippines butnow face the daily weather change of the midwest U.S. I am a woman of many words, speaking both major Filipino dialects(Tagalog and Bisaya) along withimpeccable english and a hint of Japanese,Maybe tomorrow I will learn some Russian, Arabic, or Swahili.No not really, I am actually a wellgrounded humble Christian woman who loves to live my faith following Christ.I thank Him alone, my Creator,for all my talentsincluding my linguisticsskills. I am very much a happily married woman, and for the most part I delight in my new life here in America along with myhandsome young husbandI have dabbled in the personal blogosphere in the past, but now I am extremely excited to make a daily home on this blog ofmine. I want to puta little bit of everything here, my thoughts, my experiences, and maybe even some great advice about being a Filipina-American, and what life is like for mefacing this American experience which is sooo far from my home.However, Ohio is truly my second home, I realize somethingnew everyday.My first day inAmerica I realized what it feels like to start to freeze. When I stepped off that international flight in Detroit in early February it wasco0-ld yet Iloved it, I love the adventure my life has become. Marriage too is quite the adventure. I am a tender spirit yet at the same time I am asurvivor, my name isMichelle Brooks and this is my blog.
