Hot, sweltering heat
Red wine still I want to drink
But you say ice cream

A bit about me

Anne J.

I'm a Philippine island girl in Africa, a Filipino-South African. A mad banana woman that I am, I live "la vida loca". The banana part isn’t only because I'm Anna (Banana) but because an old boyfriend had observed that although Asian (yellow on the outside) I'm very much Caucasian in my way of thinking (white in the inside) and my actions, too. It's a rather accurate observation. I am that liberal-thinking and modern-acting Filipino... I remain my tragic-comedic self with a day job in slightly more serious field of Finance, Business Operations and Corporate Affairs.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We're already listening to Christmas songs. Don't judge. 🤪 Too early? But, halloween is over. 😄 Reminiscing... as pensiveness takes over, feeling a little blue that we won't be in the USA for the holidays. It wasn't a white Christmas but it was the closest we've experienced. So, for this year, in hot summery Africa, I decided, we will do a big Christmas this year. Christmas in Africa, it will be. 😊 #Christmas #yuletide #yuletideseason #yuletide2019 #Christmas2019

I've always run away from being #Filipino. I didn't realize it's #myveryessence 💖. #Filipinos are one of the #friendliestpeopleonearth 🌻. We are one of the #happiestpeople you'd meet. We live and embody #simpleabundance 😊, I guess. Yet, I think, I am the epitome of the #Filipinospirit 💫. I just realized now. My smile/laugh brightens up a day and is contagious, I was told... (unless you aren't fond of my sunshine and me) It's my calling! #Purpose I know, this is probably my most #narcissistic #pondering yet. 🤦‍♀️😆😂 I actually just wanted to say... #iloveshoes and I'm definitely loving this new pair of #SteveMaddenshoes 👠. I'm now enjoying these #Guessjeans I got from #Superbalist. I think they go well with my #Giordanoshirt 👚. #OOTD #shoeloveaffair #SteveMadden #shoes #highheels #slingbacks #pointypumps #superbme #Guess #bluejeans #jeans #Giordano #shirt #workmode #workoutfit

Fun was had at the show. We enjoyed not only the music but the funny and amusing story. I guess, I can say Rock of Ages rocked! If you're in town, go watch it! #RockofAges #RockofAgesMusical #theatre #Saturdaynight #nightatthetheatre #Teatro #Montecasino #rock #80s #80smusic

It's #ComicConAfrica2019 this #weekend (until Tuesday). We checked it out for a bit yesterday. We were entertained. Kudos to those who went all out with their costumes. #comiccon #comicconafrica #comiccon2019 #fun #Saturdayafternoon #Saturday #familyouting
