Since I already listed 7 random facts about me in another award post, I'm going to list the same facts below for those interested.
7 Random facts about me:
1) I’m a black belt in Shotokan Karate, a traditional Japanese Karate and I’m an internationally licensed instructor. I teach women’s and other classes in the Japan Shotokan Karate Association. My husband is a 6th degree black belt.
2) I was born in Kiev, Ukraine and came to America when I was 13 years old. I haven’t been back since, but hoping to visit in the next couple of years.
Kiev |
3) I learned to dive before I could swim. My dad taught me both.
4) I use to paint with watercolors all my childhood and into my teens. I was best at painting still-life and nature but always wanted to learn to draw people. It is still one of my goals when I get some free time (hmmm…when will that be?)
5)
Kirk |
Bones |
6) One of my absolutely all-time favorite books is “Master and Margarita” by a Russian writer Michael Bulgakov. The book has been translated in many languages and I strongly recommend it to everyone. Here’s the link to it on amazon.com: Master and Margarita
7) I wanted to be an archeologist and almost majored in it. My grandfather’s good friend is a prominent archeologist and I always wanted to go on a dig. It still remains an activity to do. But I love everything ancient history.
Thanks for the nomination and congratulations on receiving it yourself! I really appreciate the thought. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nomination! And how awesome to have three Star Trek cats (well, two) in the house!! You're a woman after my own heart with that. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweetie! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award. I'm thrilled to see some of my blogging friends listed too.
ReplyDelete#1 and 2 are really cool (love the photo).
I wanted to be an archaeologist too--until I took a first year university course on it. Turns out it wasn't as thrilling as in the movies. ;)
Thank you, Yelena!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry...I just realized that somehow Blogger removed you from my 'following' blogs, but I got that fixed now. :D
It's my pleasure to have included all of you on this list!
ReplyDeleteMelinda, blogger does weird things sometimes :)
