Get To Know Me- 25 Questions Tag!

1. Do you have a middle name?
Yes I do :) My middle name is Sandra; only my family calls me by my middle name at home, at school& work I have always been called Blanca. I was called Sandy until I was around 10 yrs old, and decided that I didn't want to be called Sandy anymore, but it was kinda cute.

2. What was your favorite subject in school?
I really enjoyed art! I wasn't extremely great at it but I really liked it.

3. What's your favorite drink?
I hot tea, iced tea in hot weather, and my guilty somewhat prohibited drink soda! ugh!

4. What's your favorite song at the moment?

I have too many, love Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Rey, Elle king, Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Miguel (which I have gotten into most recently) Rap/hip hop, R&B- I don’t think I could decide because I love music but always rotate what I listen to so I don’t get bored! Gemini trait!

5. What would you name your children?

I used to tell my sister and mom that I would have 3 girls and name them Noemi, 

Nataly, & Nicole…funny thing is that I don’t have kids yet but these names have been coincidentally used by my dear friends& family. One of my lifetime friends named one of her daughters Naomi (which is the English version), my god-daughter’s name is Nataly (my other lifetime friend’s daughter), and Nicole was recently born to one of my nieces. I’m okay with that it just means I need to look up other names and keep hope that I will have at least one child, I think that as I’ve gotten older I really do look forward to it more than when I was a bit younger!

6. Do you participate in any sports?
No! I always hated playing group sports in school, more so when we had to play classroom against classroom. I don’t think I was any good at it. Blah! 

7. What's your favorite book? 
My favorite book is, and has been for a really long time:

Life Lessons by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kessler

Two experts on death and dying teach us about the mysteries of life and living.

Really a great read, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a great reminder of life’s perspectives. It’s quite a short book, easy to read and so meaningful, would be the best way to describe it!

8. What's your favorite color?
I will have to cheat here: I like black, blue , brown, purple, aqua/turquoise ..What can I say a Gemini needs options,  that’s really bringing them down for me!

9. What's your favorite animal?( I know technically an insect)
Butterflies!! I don’t even have to think twice. I have a bit of an obsession with butterflies! I love their meaning; at least for me it stands for new beginnings, new found HOPE, FAITH, BEAUTY, GRACE…I have thought of getting a butterfly tattoo for a long time but haven’t had the courage, plus my mom always says that I shouldn't. But, perhaps someday…I might because it’s really symbolic in my life!!  

10. What's your favorite perfume?

I don’t know that I have or can choose a favorite right now, just because I used to collect perfumes (I mean I used to buy more in the past). I’m trying to go through them now, so I never wear the same perfume- I always rotate them (I might do a perfume collection if you want to see them, even if it has been tamed quite a bit in the last few years!)

11. What's your favorite holiday?
 Christmas is my favorite holiday…I really do like the meaning behind Christmas because I am Catholic and I just feel extra cheery around the holidays, plus I love to cook and eat of course!!

12. Have you graduated from High School?
Yes! A really long time ago, gosh I’m old!

13. Have you been out of the country?
Yea, I was born in Michoacan, Mexico! I’m very proud of being Mexican, but really do enjoy my humble life in Los Angeles!

14. Do you speak any other languages?
Yes, my first language is Spanish! Like I mentioned above I feel very proud of my roots. If I ever have children this is definitely something that I would teach them, because in my opinion it’s very important! I also took French in school, so many years ago, that I don’t remember much of it!

15. Do you have any siblings?

Yes! I’m the last of 10 children!! I know that’s a lot! I have 4 brothers, 4 sisters, 1 sister passed away as a baby (the only one born with blue eyes, whom I never met).

16. What's your favorite store?
For clothes I like Macy’s, for drugstore cosmetics Rite-Aid, CVS, or Walgreen's-budget friendly :).

17. What's your favorite restaurant?
I don’t do a lot of fancy eating out because I cook pretty much every day at home. My guilty fast food faves are pizza or hamburger. If I were eating out I love pasta, shrimp, chicken…Real Mexican  food is my favorite. I really am a foodie!! <3….also like to experiment with new recipes!

18. Do you like school? 
Yes, I have always thought that I might go back at some point. Honestly, as we get older there’s less time for the things that we like to do and more is used for the things we have to do. But if you’re a youngster I can’t stress enough-GET YOUR EDUCATION, IT’S SO IMPORTANT!!     

19. Who are some of your favorite YouTubers?
I have so many really! Dulce Candy is up on my list because I share a similar background with her (she’s from Michoacan, Mexico as well) I would love to meet her someday <3 !! I admire her for how far she has been able to go with her work/career; it really takes hard work and dedication to be a high achiever!


20. What's your favorite movie? 
I like a lot of movies; I don’t think I have a favorite though. The genres I enjoy are: comedy, romantic-comedy, horror, drama- (oh! Also animated/cartoons-yes! I’m a big kid!)… I think I recently noticed that I like watching romantic- comedies because I secretly wish that real life were similar, it keeps that light in my heart alive ;)! 

21. What are some of your favorite TV shows?
How I Met Your Mother (which sadly ended recently; re-runs are awesome!),

 Big Bang Theory (Sheldon <3), Two Broke Girls, Grey’s Anatomy!!

22. PC or Mac?
I’m definitely an oldie; I have only owned desktops…because they are most economic, work for me quite well. I have considered getting a laptop in the future-any recommendations??
 
23. What phone do you have?
Most people think that it’s weird that I do not have a cell phone! I don’t really talk on the phone, so I don’t see the need for one. I have owned a couple in the past but gave them up because I really didn't need them.

24. How tall are you?
I’m 5’2 but I really don’t feel too short, unless I’m standing next to someone who is quite tall.

25. Any pets?

Yes, we have a family pet! His name is Rocco, he’s a miniature Pinscher (named by moi). We've had him since he was 3 weeks old!!
