Intro

Greetings readers, bloggers, artists, enthusiasts, parents, sons, daughters and all who inhabit the internet.

My name is Alexa, but I will refer to myself as DancingMermaid1920s. This is my first time ever creating a blog and I was inspired to begin writing the share-able things about my life by the many influential vloggers on Youtube and several other sources. I don't often (if ever) read blogs, but this late evening, I decided I wanted to try something new. I like to imagine a lot of things I'd like to do with my life, but I haven't made much of them happen or even attempted to.

Honest confession: Before I even thought of opening up a blog, I was thinking of how I could start beefing up my Youtube channel with charmingly witty videos to try to gain a community of viewers. But then I thought about the ways I would probably feel uncomfortable and totally out of place in front of a watching audience. I choose not to receive that attention at this moment so that I can have the freedom to write about things without having to be so on the spot. Therefore, I can think out all the details I wish to share with you and get them all onto the post.

So I'd like to start off with a little ice breaker to introduce myself. These are 10 things about me:

1. I'm a Christian. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding." - Proverbs 3:5 ESV

2. I'm a Filipino-American. (Filipino desserts are the bomb diggity.)

3. I love dancing. (All kinds)

4. I would love to travel to many places around the world. (The Philippines, Thailand, Japan, Spain, France, UK, Bora Bora, Italy, Greece, Fiji, The Maldives, Australia, etc.)

5. I dream to be married and have children some day.

6. I have an irrational fear of orca whales. (They just look menacing to me.)

7. I wish I was a mermaid.

8. If I could choose to spend a year living in a different era other than this one, I'd choose the 1920s. (The culture really intrigues me. The flappers, dance parties, attire, attitude, shows, music)

9. My current fields of study are Health and Education.

10. If I had a million dollars right now, I would spend it on my dream wedding, a new house, a new wardrobe, and save the rest for my future children's college funds.

So if somehow my intro caught your attention and you would like to follow me and/or suggest ideas to post about, thank you for choosing Soy Milk and Raw Sugar as your prospective place to read about a random stranger's life. And for those who may have read up to this point and have decided SMaRS is not going to be a part of your routine reads, thank you for your visit and enjoy your other endeavors.

Magandang gabi. ("Good night." in Tagalog/Filipino),
