Nov 18, 2008 - She is awesome. I hope she swims in London. If she does and wins medals, she could pass Jenny Thompson as the most decorated female swimmer ever at the Olympics.

Ipodgirl477 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Natalie rocks! She does look pretty too. Lol. Cool I didn't know she was part filipino! Greekgirl97 they could be related to her, but there's more likely a chance that cofo21 is lying. No offense or anything! She might represent the Philippines one day, but I think she that she doesn't currently because she was born and raised here. Once again no offense, this is just my opinion, it might not be true.
