When I die

It also helps to keep our ears peeled. Listen. Do you hear it? May you be inspired this weekend. Have fun! Much…… Continue reading Inspirations

An age-old fable that teaches self-esteem

A bit about me

Anne J.

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.
