Merica who once graced TV screens every afternoon, now resides in China where she instills knowledge in Grade 2 and 3. In the recent clip she shared on the socials, Merica wakes up at 4 am and goes for a two-hour run before she prepares for work at around 6 am.

She arrives at her place of work after 15 minutes of her bus trip. She later shares the enthusiasm she received from her Grade 3 class.
