Okaasan - that’s me! It means “mother” or mommy” in japanese and my son started calling me that for who knows how long now? My name is Imee , I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Science Major in Psychology. I grew up attending Private school all my life, and most of it was exclusively for girls:D yeah yeah , the uniforms, nuns and all that bratty stuff…but I’m grateful for that. (way more better, i believe) Well , personality wise…to sum it up, I am simple, loving, emotional, sensitive , moody & critical…. psychologically it makes me whole. I am very expressive & my emotions often influence everything that i do. Surprisingly, I did not pursue my career…for being such a sensitive person, I empathize too much and get easily affected on the situation. Don’t laugh, I’m no basket case 
I am just sappy that’s all. As I’ve mentioned my emotions often rule my head, don’t we all?
Well, I married early and have three busy teenagers. Honestly, I am my “kid’s mom” although not perfect I try my best to be a positive motivating force in their lives and I am truly blessed to have wonderful caring kids 
not that I claim that they don’t have flaws or anything, but at least they don’t give me headaches that much. I could brag that they find me “cool” cause I do silly stuff with them to the point of being part of the conspiracy when trouble abounds but it ain’t always fun, cause I’m a tough mom too and when my vocal chords start to shrill, it’s no laughing matter anymore, cause I really mean business!. Aside from that title,I also belong to the working class of women ( juggling 2 jobs to live in this rat race world here in North America) I enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts to people who love to read. I hope that as I write and post my feelings and ideas here, I would be of somewhat help, inspiration or just maybe a comparison to whatever is happening in someone else’s life.
I am a person who enjoys intelligent, stimulating , open conversations. I love to listen. I try to keep my cool as much as I can,cause I don’t want to be argumentative although I am capable of it, but when I don’t find you sensible, I’ll just keep my mouth shut and silently dip into my storehouse of verbal nuclear weapons wherein my arsenal contains various forms of sarcasm, ranging from mild mockery and outright ridicule…( hey j/k) this only applies to those people with the “I’m rightis” attitude!!! People who know me, thinks i am extremely cautious & well reserved, but i don’t mind waving my freak flag once in awhile :D…it ‘d be a surprise for them, if I did something on the spur of the moment. why is that ???
Moving on I am into weight training , & i’m lovin it. I am so amazed how one could luv the joys of pain. It is such a mental game, that really measures your capability to be focused, to reap all the benefits & rewards it has to offer. I have found the driving force to succeed & reach my goal, I am not trying to compete with anyone just to look good. One favorite saying of mine is “DON’T TRY TO BE BETTER THAN OTHERS. TRY BEING BETTER THAN YOU WERE BEFORE.” It’s about, determination, consistency & achievement. I also pray for stamina, so i could soon kick my hubby’s arse !!! LOL … I just want to be healthy & be there for those who love me.
