I was born in Northern California on 28th of June, 1982. I guess there's no point lying about my age! I'm the eldest of four girls and even though I am over 5,300 miles away from my three sisters, they are my best friends and I adore them. My mom is Filipino-American and she met my dad just a few years after he immigrated from Mexico (and was still learning English); they are still happily married and waiting impatiently for grandchildren!
I left home at 18 and traveled 3,000 miles to attend Babson College in Wellesley, MA (a suburb of Boston). I met my best friend and now husband within two weeks of my first semester and we have been pretty inseparable since. After college we lived in Boston and in May 2010 we were married and our life has been pretty crazy ever since. A month later our jobs moved us to London and we try to enjoy every moment of this adventure (capturing our experiences on our family blog Everything All At Once).
In July 2011 I made the hardest decision of my life and left my job of six years at a big bank to pursue something that would make me happy outside of corporate life (or at least not kill a little of my soul every day). I've since been a mediocre housewife (I'm not so good at chores), accomplished family travel agent, traveling the world with my husband, and doing pretty much whatever I want. I have no complaints; life has been awesome!
I love staying up late and sleeping in, food and cooking, taking pictures, reading, writing, cocktails, pizza, movies, making lists (and lists of lists), trying new things, sunny days, traveling, dancing, awkward moments, birthdays, entertaining friends and family, the Internet, and all things in miniature.
I hate mornings, big crowds, my shellfish allergy (three years now), getting ready, expanding waistlines, cold weather, pollen, the Internet, mean people, high heels, and rainy days (good thing I live in London).
My dream job would have to include something to do with food, travel or photography or all three. Another one would be something for which I have zero talent or credentials for - singing, preferably in musical theatre, but I wouldn't mind being a pop or rock star either. Unfortunately I can't sing for a living because I can't even sing to save my life. Ooo, maybe I should add a singing lesson to my list...
