First blog. First blog post.

After designing (photographing, illustrating, coding, the whole shebang) my boyfriend's entire blog, I thought that I should take a break... and make a blog of my own.

So I guess I should start off with a little introduction of myself. Let's start off with some basics:

• If I had to eat only one food for the rest of my life, it would be cherries. I just wish they didn't have the pits. But nothing's perfect, right?
• You will never catch me not wearing my favorite color, baby blue. If you do, trust me: I'm wearing it somewhere.
• My favorite animals are pandas. My brother was once an avid turtle lover, but I've converted him.
• My mother is emotionally abusive towards me. When I was born, she left for vacation. This serves as my first memory. Most memorable quote from her: "Promises are meant to be broken."
• My father is my hero. And so is his father. And his mother, whom I used to call "mom."
• Aside from my family, my boyfriend is closest to me. We see each other every day and practically live together in that sense.
• Ever since my youth, I've shown skill in math, speech, and piano, winning competitions in each.
• Computer illustration comes naturally to me since I've been doing it for over a decade. I've been into web design for a decade, too. Photography is a "newer" passion of mine, since I started 6 years ago.
• Adventure and travel is how I plan to spend my life. At the first chance, I spontaneously took a train from Los Angeles. 12 hours later I found myself in San Francisco. By myself. Age 16.
• A Harley Davidson motorcycle is waiting for me in the garage. But I don't have a license... or a motorcycle license. Yet.
• My brother's description of me in one word: boss.
• Within the next year, I plan on launching my professional portfolio/website.

Obviously, this blog does need a little work, but I'm unsure where it'd be on my list of priorities. Expect a full-blown layout by the end of this year. For now, we'll just have to make do with a simple home-made background that I've recycled on various networking profiles.
