| On the
magical day of June 9th (some decades ago), I was given birth from
a beautiful Okinawan lady with a heart of pure gold and a personality
that could light up the entire room. |
 |
Throughout my childhood
and adolescent years, I attended American schools on the breathtaking
Pacific isles of Okinawa, Japan.
As the only child
to an extra ordinary Okinawan mother and a proud Hawaiian daddy,
I was raised with the traditional Okinawan/Japanese heritage and
beliefs as well as the westernized American values. I was taught
both Japanese and English languages (or Japanglish) and was the
rambunctious ruler of my neighborhood gang. I guess the only concerns
my parents had were whether I would grow up to be a menace to the
society or an elegant young lady. Neither! I have an adventurous
heart and passion for music, love and of course MEN (come on ladies
fess up).

| Growing
up as an ugly duckling, I never would have imagined that I would ever
fulfill my admirations of becoming a model (thank you to my family,
friends, photographers and web surfers for your continuing support). |
| At age 18, I packed
my bags and flew 10,000 long miles to Norfolk, Virginia where I attended
Old Dominion University. Then one exciting visit to sunny California
during spring break, I fell absolutely in love with the warm climate,
the ocean breeze and the friendly people of San Diego - it reminded
me of home. That same summer, I packed my bags up again and moved
(adventurous heart) to the left coast. After a year of attending junior
college and working full time at a local plastic distributor, San
Diego State University finally accepted my transfer scripts. After
couple of years of fraternity and sorority parties, exams, thesis
nd philanthropic events, I received my B.A. degree in International
Business. |
| About
five years ago, I decided that I was tired of selling financial programs
to cheesy automobile dealerships andrepossessing cars, I decided to
pack of my bags again and moved northward to Orange County. Here,
I quickly climbed the corporate ladder of the hi-tech computer industry.
Then one day (as some of you may know), I was dared after couple of
shots of tequila to post my image on the web forum ... the rest is
history.
Between juggling
my ever demanding full time job as a professional computer application
sales person and the exciting (dream come true) modeling career,
I promise to you that I will bring excitementto you and your loved
ones, praises to those hardworking photographers, and admirations
for the gorgeous associates and new models. I hope you enjoy my
web site and appreciate any comments all you men and women for site
improvements or just to say "Konnichiwa, Hello or Aloha!"
