- I love baking (well, of course you guys can see that!). The fun fact is that I didn't start baking until my freshman year of high school. My family aren't bakers but I decided to take up baking. The first thing I baked were chocolate chip cookies from scratch.
- I used to do ballet. Really. I was around 6 or 7 years old when I took ballet lessons. I hated it and never went back (I wasn't as flexible as the other students). Now, I wish I had continued it.
- Funny thing was that when I was in preschool, I wanted to be a ballerina. During the graduation ceremony, my teacher asked every student what they wanted to be. I said ballerina. It's funny how things turn out later in life.
- I secretly want to become a singer (besides being a Registered Dietitian). I love singing! Everyone that knows me knows that I've been singing since I don't know when (it's been that long!).
- I was always that quiet kid in class. I still am but that's changing now.
- People were surprised when I sang at my high school's 5 de mayo assembly, two years in a row. They didn't think I had the guts to do it (they weren't expecting it either, since I was usually quiet in class. I'm shy!).
- I tried learning to play the saxophone once in high school. I quit after a month. It took me forever to learn to play just the B minor scale. I guess I'm more of a string player. Cello, violin, bass, viola. You get what I mean. I've been playing the cello since I was 9 years old, violin when I was 7 and bass and viola for fun when I was 13.
- Running is my therapy. Nothing is better than going out for a run. It helps me relieve some stress. After my run, I do yoga, which does that and helps me stretch after my run. My running tends to be better when I am in such a GOOD mood (I hope you get the hint of sarcasm here).
- Before, I didn't like peanut butter. It wasn't until high school that I started liking it.
- My Spanish is better than my Mandarin. But, my Taishanese is the best out of the three. Taishanese is the language my parents speak. You can call it the "hill-billy" of Cantonese. People that speak Taishanese also know how to speak Cantonese.
- I don't know if having a blog defies this statement, but, for the most part, I'm a pretty reserved person.
- I have a cousin who was born a day before me and another cousin with the same birthday as me (just different year). How strange is that?
- I want to study abroad for a semester in Spain. I love the Spanish culture.
- Visiting the motherland (China) was an eye-opening experience for me. Seeing where my parents grew up and comparing it to now, we really are lucky. Yea, things have improved but it's not like the USA.
- I'm a morning person. I wake up as early as 5 am and then get a good run and yoga session in.
- My favorite old time TV show is Full House! "You got it dude." "No way Jose." "How rude!" "Have mercy!" Oh, my favorite lines. =) Uncle Jesse was my favorite! ;)
- I was born and raised here in California, USA. I say this because many people ask me, "when did you move here to America?" I don't think I have an accent when I speak English, or do I?
- Chocolate is yummy.
- Sometimes when I get really stressed, I start to relax. It's a hard feeling to explain.
- I think I've ran out of random facts to say about myself. But, hey. This is number 20 on the list.
Now, it's your turn. Name at least 5 random facts about yourself! =)
