What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

 

The last thing I searched was a picture of Scottie Pippen.  I wanted to honor his birthday, which was yesterday.

What things give you energy?

Energetic people give me energy. I like to feed off it. Don’t get me wrong, I have to supply that energy too with the help of the Holy Spirit. But it becomes amplified when I am with someone who knows how to have fun and/or has a passion about something that they are doing. It is as if they are fully engaged with their body and their soul in order to get the task done.

How do you celebrate holidays?

Usually my family and I will go out and have dinner at a local restaurant. I treasure those times because they are the most memorable.

I wish that I was able to enjoy these moments with my mom. Unfortunately that won’t happen on this side of heaven. But I do look forward to when my entire family can get together and celebrate.

Write about your most epic baking or cooking fail.

There was that one time I was 10 and cooking Hamburger Helper for my mom and sister. I was boiling noodles in water. In the midst of transferring the pot of water from the stove to the sink to drain the noodles, the pot slipped out of my hands and I spilled boiling hot water onto my chest.

The pain was so bad. My skin peeled off my chest. Fortunately my mom was there with some antibiotics and bandages to treat my skin. This happened in the summer while I was taking swimming lessons at day camp. The bandages would fall off in the chlorinated pool and burn me. That was such a traumatic feeling.

Thankfully I got over it.

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

Start earlier and don’t worry about failure. Always go for the best and think it!

What’s your favorite word?

I don’t really have a favorite word at the moment. When I was young, however, my favorite word was “poop” or “passing gas”. I thought that it was so funny. My sister and I would make fart sounds. It was glorious.

Now that I have become more mature my vocabulary has increased. (Thankfully.) No more poop or fart jokes. But no, I haven’t settled on a favorite word as of yet.

What personality trait in people raises a red flag with you?

There’s so much I could write on this topic but I will write disloyalty. . If you’re willing to be disloyal and backstab another person in front of me, what will you say or do against me when I’m not in your presence?

Name the professional athletes you respect the most and why.

My favorite athlete is Michael Jordan. I was born and raised in New York. My favorite basketball team is the New York Knicks. However, I can’t deny MJ’s greatness. Even after his playing career ended, he went on the become a billionaire and an owner of an NBA franchise.

I re-watched the Last Dance, the documentary series on the 1998 Chicago Bulls, last year. It was supposed to be a team-oriented biopic but the focus was on Michael Jordan. I was reminded of a couple of things that happened in career but that documentary was so good. I enjoyed it tremendously. He was the best.

Why do you blog?

I blog mainly for enjoyment, and also to practice my writing. This is my first foray into having a blog on my own domain.

(This site is also a backup in case my social media accounts get nuked unnecessarily by the regime.)

Stay tuned for more.

What’s your favorite recipe?

I have a few favorites. One is from my childhood. It’s the Cheeseburger Macaroni flavor of Hamburger Helper. The others are lasagna (which is my favorite dish), and chicken marsala (very easy dish to prepare and great with a side).
