The QuaranT Diaries #6: Introducing Me

Updated: Mar 25, 2021

Hello Everyone :)


I hope that you’ve all had a fantastic week so far.


I’ve taken advantage of the extra sunshine that California has been getting lately, and have finally gained color back. I no longer look like a ghost! Shoutout to my balcony for being a prime tanning spot Lol.


I can't believe that it's already been over a month since I made this site live. It’s crazy to think that what started out as a little idea that I had in the back of my mind, has now turned into a reality. Writing for Here’s the T is something that I look forward to every week. As you all know, as it is one of the main reasons why I created this blog, I love writing. Over the years, especially the last few, it has become a major passion of mine. One that has honestly changed my life for the better. And since you all know that fact about me, I thought why not share a few more. Like a little, get to know me tag of sorts.


Without further ado, let's get into it, shall we.


  1. Where did you grow up?

- I was born and raised in America’s finest city-San Diego, CA.


2. Where do you currently live?

- I am at the moment residing in Anaheim. So not too far from my hometown. Even though it's only a short drive, and I have the option to visit it when I would like, I still miss it like crazy.


3. What is your occupation?

- I am a Cast Member for the Walt Disney Company and currently work at the Disneyland Resort.


4. What is your spirit animal and why?

- I have a few answers to this one lol. For an actual animal, I am torn between a dolphin or a quokka. I am a very bubbly person and love getting to meet new people. And for those who know me, they always tell me how I am constantly smiling.

- If we look at this question like a character perspective then I would have to say that I am a combination of Phoebe from Friends, and then Buddy the Elf lol.


5. Dogs or Cats?

- Dogs for the win. All the way. I love cats too, don't get me wrong. But I have been, and always will be a dog girl if given the choice.


6. Are you/have you gone to college?

- Yes, I went to GCU (Grand Canyon University) in Phoenix, AZ. I graduated with a BA in Communications. Lopes Up!


7. Are you Religious?

- You might have been able to tell this answer from the previous question, but Yes. I am a Christian. I even went to Christian schools all my life.


8. Coffee or Tea?

- I am a lover of both. And it honestly depends on my mood. At home I tend to make coffee more, whereas if I am out at a coffee shop I get tea more often


9. What is your favorite drink?

- All-time favorite-Black tea with mango and coconut from Dutch Bros

- From an alcoholic beverage standpoint (yes I am of legal age haha, I’m 23) I can't choose just one haha, but I drink beer more than other options. Mango Cart from Golden Road, how you doin lol


10. What are your top 3 favorite movies?

- Elf

- Little Mermaid

- Trouble with the curve


11. Idea of a dream date?

- I had brought this up in the little dating show YouTube video I was a part of haha. But one of my favorite ideas involves Disney, a bar, and the beach. I would start the day at Disney. It’s a place that allows you to get to see the fun and youthful side of someone (plus it's just awesome lol). After we spend a decent amount of the day there I would like to go down to a local beach and grab a drink and then watch the sunset together. Ending the night with a stroll along the shoreline.


12. Go to Fast Food Order?

- To be honest I rarely eat out. In N Out though is one of my favorite places, and my order from there is a #1 with a Neapolitan shake as the beverage


13. Are you a Morning or Night Person?

- It depends on the day, lol. I prefer the daytime because I love the light, But the night tends to hold more fun.


14. Favorite Binge-Worthy Show?

- This last month I binged quite a few lol. On Netflix Outer Banks and Too Hot to Handle are both great. And for Amazon Prime, upload is super good as well! My go-to will always be Friends though lol, I never grow tired of it.


15. Favorite Color?

- When I ask people if they can guess mine, a lot say turquoise because of the number of aqua things I have, but it's actually green :)


16. Favorite Flower?

- Sunflowers. They represent happiness, and they actually follow the light which shows that they always find the bright side - like I try to do.


17. Favorite Holiday?

- Christmas without a doubt. I love the whole cheerful aspect and the lights/decor everywhere. As mentioned earlier, I am legitimately the female version of Buddy the elf (I kid you not haha, my coworkers called me buddy during Christmas time)


18. Favorite Social Media Site?

- This one is tough because It’s honestly a toss-up between Instagram and Twitter. If I had to choose one though, I would probably go with twitter because just like Instagram, you can share photos. But you can, in my opinion, do a little more with it.


19. What are you happiest with in life?

- At the moment I couldn’t give one negative thing. Yeah, the situation we are all in right now is crappy. But it's allowed me to connect with a ton more people, and I am so incredibly thankful for that. I love where I’m at, and a lot of exciting things have happened recently that I can't wait to share with you all


20. The Biggest Struggle that you have overcome?

- Anxiety. It’s something that I do still struggle with, but I have learned how to better cope, and help ease it so that it doesn’t hold the amount of power over me that it could.


21. What is one thing you wish people knew about you?

- To not mistake my kindness for weakness. I feel like with people who are just naturally caring and nice, that this is something that others can tend to take advantage of.


22. What are some of your hobbies?

- Other than writing, I really enjoy photography. Anything that involves art really, you could sign me up for it!


23. Any tattoos?

- No, but I would like to get one or two. I already have design ideas, both involve my faith and love for the Lord. I actually had a plan to get them this year for my birthday, but that has been postponed lol.

*update: I actually do have one now :P


24. If you could travel anywhere in the world right now where would you go?

- Greece. I have always wanted to visit. Not only is it absolutely stunning, but I love the Greek culture, their food, the history behind it all. Also Mama Mia lol


25. What are some random fun facts?

- I used to work as a mascot at my hometown's local fair.

- I’m lactose intolerant

- I have a random love for shredded lettuce lol. I think it tastes so much better when it's shredded. (Weird I know haha)


I hope you all enjoyed getting to know a few more things about me. I had a long list of questions but felt like 25 was a good amount. Not too much, but not too little haha. If you guys are interested in answering some of them, I would love to know more about you too! I can't wait to share more and get to know you all better.


Until next week guys. Stay safe <3

With Love. T
