i am from...

I love to follow Katie's blog. She is one person who I aspire to be more like. When she writes a blog post, I usually stop whatever I am doing and immediately read it. Well last night she posted "i am from" post.

At the end of it she asked the question...

"so, who/what/when/where are YOU from?"

I laid in bed after reading her post pondering on where I am from.

Maybe that's why I was so tired today. =)

With Katie's permission to steal her idea, I would like to share where I am from.
