25 Things You Might Not Know About Me
Well well, its been a while since I’ve posted anything about ME. So here we go… Get to know me a bit more…
1. I’m a mother of 2 beautiful little girls and wifey to a wonderful man.
2. In addition to making custom cake pops, I am also a freelance designer. My DBA is kCreative. My cake pops are here http://www.facebook.com/kcreativecakepops
3. For someone who currently makes cake pops for a living, I don’t own a stand mixer. I use a handheld.
4. I love Hello Kitty stuff… The wackier, the better.
5. I have a sleazy love affair with food. I am a foodie and very willing to try anything.
6. I speak Tagalog fluently
7. I received a traffic violation ticket for not making a complete stop at a stop sign from the San Diego Police Dept., fought it in court, and won.
8. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Advertising
9. I have a special affinity for automobiles and technology.
10. I have a small notebook / sketchbook with me 95% of the time. You have to write down your random ideas or else you’ll lose them forever!
11. I love chocolate. I could eat it 24/7 and wouldn’t get sick of it. I could also eat creme brûlée everyday.
12. I work best late at night, 11pm and on.
13. I’ve lived in the Philippines, Hawaii and now San Diego. I had a very whimsical childhood~ aloha no ka oi!
14. I do my own photography but lighting is my biggest nemesis. I much rather shoot in natural light.
15. I have 50+ pairs of shoes.
16. I was a Femmetrooper (Stormtrooper with boobs) for Halloween one year. I spent a lot of money to have a guy in Oklahoma custom make the pieces out of PVC plastic and then I modified them to fit me perfectly.
17. I rarely watch TV. I spend my free time trying to learn/make/do something new.
18. I believe that each person in this world only controls two things: your own thoughts and your own actions. If more people realized this and lived it with conviction, there would be less stress in your life. Your focus and social responsibilities would be much clearer.
19. I don’t like to eat gummy things including jellybeans.
20. I have a meniscus tear and a partial ACL tear on my right knee (thanks to high jumping in HS) that I never got fixed. So every once in a while, my knee pops out of place.
21. I have a fear of heights —going up. Not coming down. Example- really high and long escalators like at Universal Studios.. Going up those is so hard for me. I can’t look up toward the top, I have to turn and look down. On the other hand, I can go zip lining or base jumping from 20 stories high, no problem.
22. My drink of choice is cognac or sambuca. Margaritas on hot days.
23. My last year of college, I was hired on by an advertising agency (before graduating) and worked there for 3+ years as a creative and an account coordinator. I got laid-off when the economy went down the toilet, which happened to be as I was coming back from maternity leave from having my first baby. It was heartbreaking but also a blessing in disguise. I’m able to be with my girls everyday and raise them. I occasionally do freelance work for the agency.
24. I suck at singing. I am so tone-deaf, it’s not even funny. It’s REALLY bad.
25. I believe that living passionately is the only way to live at all. Take risks and be challenged. Keep in a forward motion or get ran over.

Kris
