Miss Melodie Yoshida In university I studied business marketing, while most of my work experience is in retail. Somewhere in between all of that I found myself going to Bikram Yoga teacher training and started teaching as well. I’ve been teaching for 3 years now. I enjoy other types of yoga, but the sweat sessions in a Bikram class is what I love most right now! I absolutely cannot do without snowboarding. I love the snow and the huge mountains and the feeling of being so small on something so big is a rush! When I moved back to the Hawaiian islands a few years ago, I tried surfing despite my fear of the ocean and NOW I am in love with that as well! One of my many passions is photography and enjoy anything crafty. My inventory of crafting supplies might look quite similar to Martha Stewart’s. The most recent craft challenge has resulted in purchasing a commercial-grade laser cutter. I will be trying ...
Am I too sensitive? Yes, I do take things personally for example when a person calls you fat to your face or when they laugh, and gossip behind your back and you find out about it, are you telling me you are not offended?

As Filipinos, we love our teleserya, and telenovelas (TV Dram...
Photo was taken by +Krista Corcoran This photo was given to us by our good friend for Christmas a few years back. But do you see that they are children and innocent in the ways of the world? They are sweet loving children even our dog is terrific, and I am not just saying that because they are mine. They don't belong to me but they belong to themselves, I always say they belong to me, but really they are not things to be owned. They are my heart and my everything. A few years after this photo is now my daughter attending a different school in the new institution we call junior high. My husband and I are away for our trip to celebrate our 19 years of being together as a couple. We arrive from our trip in the middle of the night, and the children happen to be staying with our family. I sneak in beside my daughter and fall asleep beside her, and within a few minutes of snuggling close to her, I notice she is shivering. Sounds came out of her that I had ...
