Do you like California more or Washington?
I personally like Washington more compared to California. The bipolar weather is an atmosphere, people, and just general balance of nature and city life is really beautiful to me.
What is your favorite music to dance to?
I used to dance Jazz, modern, and a teeny tiny bit of contemporary and hiphop in high school so any song I hear I love to move to. Kpop is also really fun to do dance to though.
Whats your favorite dish to cook?
I can’t say I have one favorite, but I love to cook Thai food and Korean food the most.
Who taught you how to cook?
My mom and both my grandmas’ showed me how to cook when I was growing up, but I didn’t really enjoy it. I think since moving here I had to fend for myself, I taught myself through trial and error, the tips from my mom and grandmas, and Pinterest.
When did you start your own blog? And how has that experience been so far?
I started my own blog about a month after I moved to Washington. Its still a work in progress and I haven’t had much time to touch it recently, but I’m gonna do my best to keep at it.
What’s your favorite type of weather?
As a Cali girl, I love feeling warm. Im much happier when the sun is put, so I think since moving here I took the sun for granted in California since we don’t get it much over here.
What’s your favorite thing about Filipino culture?
I think most people would just say the food. Its very hearty and flavorful and all of my family members love cooking it together.
