I speak 4 different languages- Tagalog (my mothertounge), English, German and French. I just started learning French this schoolyear (2003/04) and I find French really great. As you already know, I was born in Unisan (the place where my mom's mother lives) and I stayed there for many years. My grandma, my cousins, my aunties and uncles took care of me there and I'm really so thankful for that. My mother went to Saudi Arabia when I was 7 months old because she had to work there and so, my grandma took care of me. My mom's a wonderful and patient nurse. I am so proud of her!

When I was about 4 years old, I went to Kindergarten I. in Unisan. Do you think, I was a very kind student? No, I was just a child and I did not know what to do and so, as every children do, I always had troubles with my classmates. We always quarelled, cried and so on. I was a naughty child but guess what? Even if I was a bad girl, I was on top! I mean, I was the third honor of the class and I got a medal.

So, we moved to Manila to my dad's siblings after 2 years and I continued my Kindergarten II. or III.(i can't remember) in La Consolation School. My sister and I always went to Private Schools. After 1 year, we moved to my other grandma (my dad's mom). She's also great like my other grandma in Unisan and I really love them. My sister and I studied then in Most Holy Rosary Parochial School (M.H.R.P.S.). I was in the Preparatory and my sister was in Grade 1.

A year had gone and I was finally in Grade 1. My classmates voted me as a President in our class and I was in 2nd honor and it always stayed the same until I was in the 2nd Grade. Unfortunetly, I became 3rd honor again in the 3rd Grade because I got sick on the last Semester. I was able to do just some of my examinations. (We had to do examinations in every subjects in the Philippines) But I was still the President of the class.

In my summerholidays, we got a call from our mother ,who was in Vienna for many years because she worked here. We flew finally to Vienna, but it was also sad because we had to leave our relatives in the Philippines. We always had a lot of fun there, but we had to fly to Vienna because we've been apart with our mother for so many years. I was 9 years old and it was the first time for me to fly with the airplane and to go abroad. My dad, my sister and I were so happy and excited.

We went to an austrian School for some months and then we studied to Keplerplatz -a billingual School. My teachers' names were Alexandra Birdsall, Chris and Judi.They were all so nice to us.

 After a year, we went to Draschestraße also a billingual gymnasium School. And now we're still in that school. It's a great and modern School. The teachers there are quite strict but some are really kind. For example: Mr. Feltham, my English teacher.
