6 random things about me:

1.) My sister and I are the first born US generation in our family. My parents immigrated to this country from Portugal when they were teenagers. I learned to speak English when I was in Pre-school. I am bilingual and can speak, read, and write Portuguese fluently.

2.) I am an extremely picky eater. I don't like ketchup, mayo, mustard, relish, cheese, vinegar, to name just a few. I'm probably one of the few people you will meet who doesn't like chocolate. When I go out to dinner, 99% of the times I need to custom create my dinner. I need to remove just about everything so that I can eat everything plain. I personally wish I wasn't like this because I'm always worried if there is something in my food that I don't like. I also don't like to try anything new when it comes to food.

3.) I am a very emotional person. I can cry over anything, a song, a tv show, a card, when I talk to someone, just about anything anytime. I hate being like this because sometimes it can be embarrassed. But I can help it that I am this way.

4.) I love to cook and love anything that is kitchen gadgets, kitchen utensils, and cookbooks. I like to be in control of my kitchen, obviously because I'm picky. I find cooking to be very relaxing for me. I can spend a whole day in the kitchen just cooking and I would be happy.

5.) I am very obsessive when it comes to books and magazines. Before I buy a book or a magazine, I inspect it to make sure that the cover and pages have no folds. I make sure it's in perfect condition. If there is a fold, I will put it back on the shelf and re-inspect another one. When I read books, I hardly open it, because I don't want any creases on the sides or any folds on my pages. I've always been like this, not sure why, it's bizarre.

6.) I am a very optimistic person. I always look at the bright side of everything in life. I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and what is meant to be is meant to be. Even when something bad happens, I always look at the good side. Because of this, I have become a very strong person.
