Cooking and Photography

So many things I love to do in my life that I can't even focus in one thing and what career I am going to pursue after all my treatments are done and when I am fully recovered.

Cooking:

I love cooking. Cooking is so relaxing and calming to me. I love combining different vegetables together and combining spices. I like looking at recipes when I get a chance and when I have time to cook something new and get inspired and motivated to get better at my cooking. Even though I do love cooking, I get lazy to do it too because sometimes I tend to cook the same thing. I enjoy posting what I cook at my instagram. When I have time to plan. I write things down on what I need to buy for grocery shopping but I also like doing the other way around where I pick what vegetables I want to eat and experiment of what dishes to make. Healthy cooking is important. I have always wanted to learn how to cook when I was 16, but I didn't really started cooking when I was 21. When I was diagnosed with my cancer in 2014, that's when I learned how cook healthy and I tried out so many different recipes and I love cooking for my friends too. I love Peruvian food a lot and I taught myself how to cook Peruvian food. I have to keep learning how to cook a variety of food to get better at it. 

Photography: 

When I was in high school I did an after school program for photography but I don't remember how often I went and what I learned. All I can remember was that I was interested in photography. I remember I wanted to have an old camera and I didn't want the digital cameras and everything. I don't know why I didn't take photography in college. I guess I was busy with my major classes that I didn't think in taking photography back then but I did take yoga, and a fitness class for fun. In 2010 my brother bought me a point and shoot camera and that was my first camera ever. I took so many photos. I took photos wherever I went like festivals, friend's birthdays, family get together, and etc... Then my camera broke in 2013, and I used my cell phone's camera. I didn't have an actual camera for almost 3 years. I still took a lot of pictures in my phone. For my 30th birthday, my brother bought me a camera and I was so happy. It was another point and shoot. It was so awesome and I loved it so much. I love how it was a canon. Since I had that camera, I continued in taking photos and I enjoy it a lot. When I became a part of Bay City Beacon Newspaper, I took photos of the Muslim Ban Rally at SFO and from there, I started taking photos of rallies, and events. I am lucky to have this opportunity to be the photographer of Bay City Beacon. There are a lot of things I have to learn about photography and I am only a beginner. I like taking photos of landscapes, and hidden gems around the city, Taking portraits were fun too and I need to get better at that. I hope to take photography class at city college once all my treatments are all done. I have to learn how to edit photos too. 

To be continued.... have to talk about: volunteering, civic engagement, fitness/health .. etc...
