Acting (spring 2003)
As one could see upon my Thespian page, my first show was in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and that was back in 2003. Since then I was frequently on and off in theatre but the “acting bug” never truly died. As thus when 2011 rolled around, I decided to pursue theatre and acting full out going so far as being in six shows in a span of a year before forcing myself to take a break… How long the break would last is anyone’s guess… including my own.

Baking / Cooking (originally 1992, more definitively autumn 2011)
I have always loved the idea of baking / cooking, creating something that people would enjoy. Taking something that has been established and changing things around to adapt to a differing palate. But with a mother that loves to cook, why would I need to learn? Eventually I did and I love it, to the point that I started writing posts about some of my past attempts and my adaptations and opinions of recipes.even more recently several friends of mine and I gather bi-monthly with various concoctions set to a different theme, and I must say… I never had so much fun playing with my food.

Ballroom Dancing (autumn 2005)
– International Ballroom / Latin
– American Smooth / Rhythm
– Argentine Tango, Salsa, West Coast Swing
The culture I group up in, ballroom dancing was the more natural form of social dancing. At weddings I would see couples dance the chacha, viennese waltz, paso doble, etc to various songs from the culture and heritage I grew up in. So when I was settled in my first full time job, I decided to pursue ballroom dancing to learn the steps that my family knew and figured that down the road I would be a little more outgoing when social dancing… riiiight I am living in the wrong country here. Still if it weren’t for learning this style of dance I wouldn’t have been able to write / blog about dancing in general later.

Video Editing (legitimately spring 2013 – might be before that)
Now technically this is not new to me. I vaguely remember video editing while in high school or college… or even earlier than that. However, this was not something I kept up with or did not feel like I was strong at in any capacity. Perhaps because I knew a lot of people who studied video editing / film / etc and it just did not seem fair. However, recently I have been doing a few video editing projects to great success thus far (within small circles) so who knows? I may wish to continue on this path down the road.

Web Blogging (spring 2010)
Back in April of 2010, I was commenting on PureSYTYCD.com ideas and possibilities as to who the possible All-Stars could be when Nigel Lythgoe announced that past SYTYCD dancers would be selected to be the Season 7’s “All Star” dancers. I was then invited to blog for Pure TV Network series for the past two and a half years, can be considered a “professional blogger” since I am being paid for my work.

Web Designing (primarily autumn 2004)
I played around with web design back when the Internet was in its infancy. For more information about what I have done in the past for web design please view my Web Design page under the Biography tab.
