About Me
— My birth name is Florencia, but people in the internet and close friends call me Sora.
— I live in Buenos Aires (Argentina), and I truly dislike it.
— I am a fashion designer, graduated July 2014. Since August 2015 I've been working for a retail company called Carrefour, more specifically their clothing brand TeX. I'm head designer of kids, babies and menswear design.
— I'm a Libra (90% of the time accuarate) and my personality type is INFJ.
— I consider myself a "social justice warrior".
— I don't consider myself an atheist, but I'm not religious either? Like, I do not deny that God exists... but I just don't care enough to spend time trying to figure it out? LOL. It's more like I don't need religion ^^;
— I've been studying Japanese since March 2007.

My Family
— I live with my mother and grandmother (from my mom's side).
— My parents got divorced (not legally though) 2 years ago. Dad ocassionally comes over but we try not to see much of him. My relationship with him is practically non-existent.
— Our family is very small. Mom, dad, grandma, my uncle and his girlfriend, and that's it.
— My uncle has a bulldog named Ilma.
— Our land has two houses in it. At the front there's my house and at the back, grandma's. In the middle there's our garden.
— I have a maltese dog called Juka (M). He's actually living with grandma so I don't spend that much time with him.
— My own dog passed away on the 11th of August 2016, Pina (F). — My current pet Kea (F) appeared in my life on the first days of October and I just couldn't say no to a new furry friend.

My friends:
— My best friends are Sae, Fuuey and Umi. They all live in Sweden.
— I met Sae first on LiveJournal in 2010, if I'm not mistaken. I started talking to Fuuey and Umi at the begining of 2013 (they are childhood friends with Sae).
— I actually visited Sae in South Korea in October 2015. It was amazing!
— I don't have any super close friendships in Argentina. I hardly ever hang out, unless it's with mom.
— The closest I have to friends here, are my Japanese classmates.

The Job
— Even though I'm technically "a boss", I don't have anyone directly working for me, unless we count our external suppliers who have to pretty much cater to my every wish XD.
— I travel overseas to research fashion trends twice a year (March and September).
— I have been victim of harassment from the hands of one of my coworkers more than once and no one's ever done anything to s
top him.
— Therefore you can only imagine how much I trust and respect my team.

The Fandom
— My favorite movie is "How To Train Your Dragon".
— I like to watch anime and Japanese and Korean dramas.
— I enjoy fantasy TV shows the most (like Once Upon A Time, for example).
— You could say that Harry Potter is my religion :P
— I listen to K-pop the most, but I also like listening to Japanese music, soundtracks and some of the popular songs nowadays.
— I love watching anime!

Hobbies and Passions
— I collect dolls! First, I started with porcelain dolls. Now I'm collecting Monster High and Ever After High dolls.
— I love photography! I got my DSLR back in 2014 and I'm still learning lots about it :) it's a Nikon D5200.
— Traveling is one of my favorite things in the world.

I took an online class (http://www.learnkoreanonline.net/) to learn hangul and the basics a while back. Then I took a beginning korean class when I did a study abroad for the summer in Seoul a couple of years ago. That's when I learned (and spoke) the most! Now I don't have much of an opportunity to speak it, but I try to keep up with what I learned from the class. It's hard to study on my own, but I always try, haha. What about you? :)

I studied the basic level of Korean at the Korean Cultural Center from my country, but I quit after 2 years because they were too strict, to the point I even started failing college because of it o_o. Then I pretty much tried to study at home but it's really hard to be consistent... it's also really hard because sometimes there are some words you use in certain situations that dictionaries or websites don't tell you about, which is why I think it's good to have a professor, but unfortunately there's no other place here to learn Korean :(

Wow, 2 years! That's pretty nice. But sucks that it was too time consuming and strict. T_T It's hard to learn a language on top of everything else you have to study. :( That's part of the reason I have trouble studying Korean, because of all the other schoolwork I have to do.

I learned Korean the best from a professor, so I definitely agree with you there. My class was a beginner's level class for 6 weeks. It wasn't very long, but I learned quite a bit. However, I wish I could learn more or take another class. I don't have any place here to learn Korean either. :( I just listen to kpop/watch kdramas (and try not to look at the subtitles, but I haven't quite mastered that!)
