Hello World! I'm Vanessa aka "Ban"​. I'm 25, Filipino-Ame​rican, former Army brat living in Georgia, USA. I'm an art student in my senior year and graduating this semester. ^^

I'd like to meet friends from all over the world and talk about art, music, movies, traveling, languages, etc.  Maybe we can learn something from each other and maybe even more. I love being creative, whether it's painting, drawing, or playing an instrument (guitar).

Take care! Peace, Love, and God Bless!

I'd like to meet anyone around the world! Don't be shy, because I am. *snicker* Preferably people around my age (20's). But I'm just here to make friends so please no weird messages.

Japanese - I can understand and read (hiragana/ka​takana) a little. 日本語が少しわかります。​I'm currently taking a Japanese 101 class. ^^ After graduation I hope to get into the JET program to teach English in Japan.

Tagalog/Iloc​ano - even though I grew up with my parents speaking it I never actually picked it up, but I can understand a little. But I can't distinguish between Tagalog and Ilocano (which is what my parents speak most of the time)

Korean - From watching so many k-dramas and listening to kpop, I know a few words hehe Lately I can now read and type Hangul a little. 안녕하세요! ^^ Korean people are very cute! ^o^

I would also like to learn ASL (American Sign Language), anyone know?

Please help! I would like the the phrase "God is Love" translated in every language possible. It's one of my favorite phrases and I'd love to see how it looks in all language. So if you can help, I would be very grateful. Thank You. (If anything is incorrect please help correct them, thanks)
