Picking up that Guitar..Again

It's been two years! I am finally a graduate of the Creative Communications program from Red River College. Well, school is done. Now it's job hunting time. However, before that I'd just like to take the time and wind down and pick up my guitar and start playing once again (my guitar feels a little neglected, not to mentioned it was collecting dust just sitting there).

I've even had time to give my blog a new layout. I'm liking it so far.

So guys? what are your hobbies that you stopped doing or neglected because of education?

What else can this ninja do?

In goes the eggs!

One of the few things I like to do to ease the 'post-job-interview-jitters' is to make something yummy. When it came down to it last Friday, simply put, I was nervous, my hands were clammy and cold. I realized right after that it was all in my head, so what do girls normally do when they need to relieve stress? They meet up with their girl friends and talk about it. Needless to say, that's what I did and I immediately felt better. However, my mind kept playing over what I should have done, and what I could have done. I'm still kicking myself in the face for not remembering to show my portfolio that I had brought, but that's how you learn - you'll know better next time to have it in hand!

It was also my dad's birthday that day, and that night I decided to bake a cake for my dad. When it comes to baking it helps me not think about the past and dwell about the little things that I should have, or could have done, and I go into a new world - now I'm focused on making that cake. My mom kept coming to check up on me, to make sure I did everything right, (it is her recipe and apparently 'her' kitchen) but the thing I like to feel most about is: independence. I wanted to do it myself. So after a bit of a quarrel in the kitchen. The cake turned out okay, I'm not a huge baking person though - that's my sister.

I'm more of a stir-fry 'throw-everything-in-a-wok' type girl. This morning, I made scrambled eggs using chopsticks (that's my Asian-ness talking) and I'd like to say I'm a pretty good breakfast maker. If you want pancakes? you got 'em and they're good (according to my parents and boyfriend). Eggs - scrambled, fried, sunny-side? I'm right on it. Making food and eating is another one of this ninja's forte. Along with many other activities like drawing, painting, photography, and playing guitar. Now also picking up a new hobby racing RC cars and flying RC helicopters (and fixing them after I crash them). Then I also want to fix up old cars. For me, I want to be constantly learning new things. I want to be constantly being able to improve myself and learn.

Don't forget to add the cheese

Picture perfect - scrambled eggs and toast

How often do you see chopsticks with eggs?
