"Ellen is a Medieval English form of Helen. Helen originates in Greek language and means "torch of light". In Greek mythology, Helen is a famous figure, known as Helen of Troy. She was a daughter of Zeus, described as a beautiful woman. Her abduction by Paris triggered off a series of events which finally ended in the Trojan War. In Christianity, Saint Helena is the one who found the relics of the True Cross upon which Jesus was crucified. Throughout centuries, Helen has been one of the most popular feminine given names."

Annyeong!I go by the name of Ellen Marie (엘렌). Im a Filipina, born and raised in the Philippines. Im currently living and working in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, UAE. Im a crazy kpop-fanatic, Blackjack and VIP (according to my brother) and im kind of obsessed with G-Dragon.

Salamalaykum! Kef Halik?

Before i only speak/ write in Filipino (different dialects), English and Korean, but starting this post, i will also incorporate Arabic (only the basics though) as well.

I arrived here in UAE last April and got hired as a clinic secretary at Emirates International Hospital last May. Life so far is doing me good and i hope it'll stay that way or even better as time goes by.



Okay enough for now coz im sleepy and i wanna lie down. Shuhada, coffee is not even doing me a favor. Any suggestions how to pull an all nighter?
