Elaine's profile
The name is Elaine. She is a simple-minded girl who only wishes to be surrounded by close friends. Friendship is an integral part of her life, yet she thinks friends come and go. Elaine loves taking long rides on buses, because she loves to think. Sometimes, life gets too hectic for her so she needs time to sit back and reflect on what has been going on in her life. She loves listening to all kinds of music, mostly English and Japanese. This is when her iPod comes in handy during long bus rides. Whenever she has the free time, she would grab upon the chance to watch Japanese dramas or variety shows to improve on her listening skills. Learning a foreign language isn’t as easy as you think, you know. Elaine also hopes to travel around the world to understand the different cultures and lifestyles of the people in the future, which is why she is preparing herself now by sending postcards to random people all around the world. Postcard exchange, anyone?
