Name: Natasha Kimberly D. Padua (or simply Michiko...it's my Japanese name)

Location: right now the Philippines

I can understand a couple of languages give or take 9 languages :)

Also a writer at fanfiction.net

Hey there! Well first of all I would like to say that English isn’t my first language so please don’t be so harsh when you see flaws in my work. I promise that I’ll try my best to avoid them but I can’t guarantee perfection. Anyway, I like writing very much and I could say that it’s my outlet. I’m still young and I know that my skills are still mediocre. There’s still a lot of room for improvement. So I like criticism a lot!! …especially the really, honest and frank ones. _ Because of course, how could you improve if you don’t know what you’re doing wrong right? _ I like writing stories, essays and poetry. If you view my account profile, you could obviously see it. Well anyway, I won’t keep this long. Just feel free to e-mail me or something or better yet, please review my works. Thanks! It’s very much appreciated! _
