One can only dream of setting foot in the snowy land of cherry blossoms and unique, hi-tech gadgets. For one Filipina blogger, Japan is her second home; no problems whatsoever in arriving in the land of the rising sun. Spotlight has Spotted MOMMY EK, and we've been smitten ever since. Here's an interview with the beautiful Kristhel:
The mommy with a K!1. Can you tell us about yourself?
I'm a mother of a 1-year-old boy and I'm currently residing in Nagano, Japan with my brother. I'm a God-fearing person who is afraid of breaking rules. I'm talkative when I'm with my friends and I can be the life of a party too. I'm makulit and childish sometimes but I can also be moody. I enjoy new experiences. I'm also a good listener. I always go for what I want, especially if it's something that will make me happy.
2. Describe your blog Mommy EK in a Twitter message way (140 characters).

3. How long have you been blogging?
I've been blogging for a year now. I started on Valentine's Day in 2009.
4. Why did you blog?
I decided to start blogging because I didn't have a lot of friends back then and I always use the computer. I was also inspired by other bloggers because I read a lot of blogs since I got here.

I have more online friends! :)
6. What is your goal for your blog this year?
I started a 365 project where I post any thing daily. That's for a year! They're mostly pictures from my everyday life here in Japan. I hope I can really finish it. Good luck to me!!!

The Philippine holidays, different restaurants with different cuisines, and basketball

I want to bring my husband and son here with me so I guess I might stay here for a long time but I think that every Filipino has plans of going back to the Philippines. Lahat, nag-iipon lang. I don't want to grow old in another country.

Having my baby! Walang meaning and buhay ko dati nung wala pa s'ya.

Enjoy blogging!
