1. What’s your Ethnicity?
I’m half Bolivian, a quarter Thai, and a quarter Chinese.
2. What’s your zodiac sign?
May 31 makes me a Gemini, and boy am I a Gemini. I definitely have two sides to me. Becoming a gogo dancer while receiving my Bachelor’s degree in engineering is just one example.
3. Where are you from originally?
I am originally from Pacoima, CA and I’ll always be a California girl at heart.
4. What did you like most about growing up in Pacoima?
When I was growing up, Pacoima was one of the most dangerous places in the valley. That being said, my family was not as financially stable as others might have been. Growing up in those conditions really allowed me to appreciate everything my family and I have achieved. I’m glad I came from humble beginnings because it has added that much more value to my life, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
5. What kind of mischief did you get into while growing up?
When I was in elementary school, I was a huge flirt. However, part of my flirting was “kneeing” guys in the nuts…not really sure how I even thought of doing that. That got me in a lot of trouble in school, but somehow it worked with the boys…I distinctly remember having three valentines in second grade.
6. If you could have a super power, what would it be and why?
Having the power to teleport would be super awesome. Then I would be able to travel while avoiding the worst part of traveling…the long flights.
7. What’s your favorite hobby and why?
My favorite hobby has got to be working out, I love trying out new workout activities too. I’ve tried everything from crossfit to hot yoga. My current obsession is Parkour.
8. What’s your guilty pleasure?
Adult Swim is my guilty pleasure. I don’t really watch much TV, but if I do, I’m usually watching cartoons on Adult Swim. My current favorite show is Bob’s Burgers…it is hilarious.
9. Who do you admire and why?
Since I was twelve, I’ve always admired Gwen Stefani. With every passing year, she accomplishes more and more and my admiration grows stronger. She’s the ultimate go getter. She knows what she wants and then strives to achieve it until it’s hers. Gwen is a classy, talented, business woman…what’s not to admire.
10.If you could change one thing in the world what would it be and why?
I would change world hunger. Honestly, there is no reason why anyone should go hungry. We have enough food and resources on this planet to provide for all living beings. There are so many factors that play a part in this issue, and if a single person attempts to help, it makes a difference.
11. What’s one of your personal goals?
Although it’s been stated that there’s no cure for diabetes, I am determined to reverse its effects on my dad as much as possible. He is a very stubborn person but I have managed to change parts of his eating habits. He has lost seven pounds in the past two weeks and he will continue to make changes towards a healthier lifestyle with me by his side…this is a promise.
12. What do guys compliment you on the most?
The compliment depends on what I’m wearing. If I’m wearing close to nothing, I get complimented on my gluteus maximus. If I’m clothed, I get complimented on my smile. [smile]
13. What’s your favorite body part on yourself?
This might sound strange, but I’ve always been proud of my nails. [laugh] I’ve never had acrylics and I always get complimented on how strong they are when I go to the nail salon. Ok, my booty’s not too bad either. [wink]
14. What do you look for in a guy?
I mostly look for a guy that has a big heart. Seems like a generic thing to say, but you can usually tell when someone is being fake because they want you or when the person is genuine and treats everyone in their life with the utmost care and respect.
15. What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?
I usually notice right away if we have the same sense of humor. If it’s there, then it’s a go. I definitely need a guy with a great sense of humor.
16. What’s your ideal first date?
I’m a simple girl so a nice dinner is good for me. Just don’t try to eat anything on my plate and make sure you offer me what’s on your plate. Just kidding…not really.
17. What turns you on?
Nothing turns me on more than a guy who knows how to dance. Guys that can really move are so sexy. Have you seen Doknock from Super Cr3w?
18. What turns you off?
The biggest turn off for me is cockiness. So often I meet guys that like to brag about themselves, especially when it comes to money. I don’t care how much money you have, I make my own money.
19. What’s your biggest pet peeve?
Cigarettes are my pet peeve. Sorry if I offend any smokers out there. I just think they are pointless and stinky, and I’ve been burned on several occasions. If you try to talk to me while smoking a cigarette, you will not be welcomed.
20. Who’s your celebrity pass?
Paul Rudd is my ultimate celebrity crush. He was extremely charming in Clueless, and every movie he’s been in since then has been hilarious. I can’t resist a sweetheart with a good sense of humor.
