My Family

I have a pretty good size family.  I have four sisters and two brothers, with me being the second youngest, overall.  With that said, I have four nephews and eight nieces (all ranging from 1 years old to 12 years old).  To some, this may seem like a lot but I wish I had more siblings and hopefully, more nieces and nephews.  In my culture, it's normal to have a big sized family and so maybe that's why I want more siblings.

Hobbies

Drawing is one of my favorite things to do while in my spare time.  I just recently received a graphics/drawing tablet from my sister on my birthday.  I have always wanted to own a tablet and draw and color from my tablet to my computer.  I was getting tired of using the standard pencil and paper.  Even though I still have a long ways to go, I really do hope to improve.

Before the tablet and before drawing, I turned to Photoshop and HTML as a hobby.  I really enjoyed doing both but slowly lost touch with them as I felt like I couldn't exceed my expectations.  I will still do them once in awhile but not as much as I wish I wanted to.  My main focus on Photoshop was making banners or random small artworks.  I really like working with cartoons and other illustrated artworks.  I really do hope that I can gain my confidence back and start on a new project in Photoshop and possibly make more layouts.

Yellowstone National Park

This past summer, my family and I took a trip to Yellowstone National Park.  We camped out in tents for four days and three nights.  Since Yellowstone is so big, we weren't able to explore everything we wanted.  Once we entered into the park, it took us about two hours to actually arrive at our campsite and we had to immediately set up our tents before it got dark.


We did a lot of sight seeings and WALKING!  Our first actual full day was spent at the Old Faithful Geyser that took us 40 minutes to get to.  There were a lot of other geysers surrounding Old Faithful and the smell of rotten eggs filled the air.

The next day, we went to go the the smaller fall in Yellowstone and more geysers.  Our last day was spent looking at the mountains and we also visited Grant Tetons National Park.  The mountain scenery was really beautiful.

I really enjoyed my camping experience at Yellowstone, I hope to go back there again and hope to stay a littler long to explore everything.
