So I thought it would be fun to do a little Q&A for you guys from my Instagram. I hope to do this kind of thing every so often and I'm really grateful for those who asked me some things. I was hoping to get this posted a week ago but since last Thursday the entire family has been dying with the stomach flu and so I've been either barfing or taking care of my sick boys haha! But better late than never right? On to the questions!
1. What cosplays have you done and which ones do you plan to do??
I've never done any official cosplaying before. For Halloween I was Hinata but I almost don't count that. But with Sakura-con coming next month I'll finally be officially cosplaying! So those two days I'll be Nanami and Hinata. But I'd really love to one day also cosplay as Sawako (Kimi Ni Todoke) , Orochimaru (Naruto), and Chihiro (Spirited Away). And many others but those are my top three right now! ◦°˚\(*❛‿❛)/˚°◦
2. What's your favorite part of being a mommy?
This question is so impossible to answer as there's countless things that I love about being a mother. (⺣◡⺣)♡* But the first thing that comes to mind is just how much I love watching my son grow. It's one of those things that happens so rapidly, but I never realize until I'm looking at old pictures or videos of him. It's also one of the things that makes me very sad, but it's a sweet sad. I just can't believe how big my little baby is getting.
3. What's the hardest your son has made you laugh?
It was only last week I think that this happened, but it made Israel and I laugh so hard. We're trying to get into the habit of saying a prayer together as a family every night, and one night when I was saying the prayer, he kept on repeating everything I was saying. It was so cute and he was being so silly about it and we all laughed so hard together. ♡♡♡
4. Do you want to travel?
I would love to travel! It's been a bucket list goal of mine since I was a kid to go to Japan. That's where I would most like to go, but the idea of going to parts of Europe sounds lovely to me as well. My only problem is the adult part of me is saying that traveling is too expensive and so it'll never happen.. at least not very often.
5. Where did you get your Hinata contacts?
I got mine from Honey Color! If you don't need prescription contacts then I would recommend finding pink mesh contacts rather than the white. I think they look more accurate to Hinata's eyes, but they don't come in prescription so they're not an option for blind ole me. (｡•́︿•̀｡)
6. What type of music do you like listening to?
I tend to like a little of almost all music genres, and I get in these moods where I'll only listen to one thing for a couple of months. But I think the most would be either Disney soundtracks, Anime soundtracks, pop punk, and some Japanese artists (such as Lisa). These are my most played and recents on Pandora haha!
7. Favorite artist?
I'm not sure if this question meant music artists or like artist artist, so I'll say both haha! My favorite music artist is Panic! at the Disco. I love them so much.. And then my favorite artist is a tie between Audrey Kawasaki and Ilya Kuvshinov. They both have some of the most beautiful art I've ever seen and they have such recognizable, unique styles. (๑♡⌓♡๑)
8. Favorite song?
I don't have a favorite song, there's just way too many to pick only one. But here's one that I've loved for forever and will always love for forever:
9. What's your favorite season?
Winter! I love the cold and hate the heat. ╭(๑¯д¯๑)╮
10. How long have you and your hubby been together?
Israel and I met our freshman year of highschool! Our dating anniversary is January 9th, 2012 and our wedding anniversary is May 9th, 2014. So we've been together for over 4 years! ♡
11. When you became a mommy, were you originally ready for him? And how has he impacted your life?
I was no where near ready to become a mother when we found out I was pregnant. Israel and I were both 16, just sophomores in high school. We were terrified, mostly of our parents hahaha, but also very brave.. Unlike most high school kids who get their girlfriend pregnant, Israel was so supportive and loving and did everything he could with me to prepare ourselves to be parents, and we tried our best to not match the stereotype for teen parents. We were Juniors in high school and freshman in college when Xavi was born. I think by then we were as ready as any new parents could be. Xavi was really sick when he was born even though he was full term. He stayed in the hospital for 5 weeks before we could bring him home, and there we learned so much about taking care of a new born baby. He struggled to eat and had horrible reflux and so I had to learn how to feed him through a nasogastric tube and how to insert it through his nose and into his stomach. That really sucked honestly, it's the worst feeling in the world to watch your child struggle. But eventually things got better, and the 2+ years that we've had our beautiful little boy my life has become so much more joyful and humbling.
12. Are you planning on having anymore kids?
Oh yes! At least one more. (ᅌᴗᅌ* ) We really want to have that normal, adult experience of having a baby on your own and not in high school hahaha! Plus, I'd love for Xavi to have siblings.
13. What is your dream in life?
There's lots of little dreams and goals I have for myself, but the one BIG dream that I have is to simply love life. I want to be happy and make others happy. If I can do that then I'll have lived the life that I wanted. That and I want to be a roller derby girl.ʱªʱªʱª (ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)
16. Favorite show?
I'm going to assume not anime, and so I'll avoid that for this question. My favorite show is probably a tie between The Office (Israel and I have watched every episode at least five times hahaha) and Criminal Minds. I would recommend both to everyone!
17. Three favorite anime boys?
I love questions like this because it's an opportunity for more gifs. 1 - Tomoe from Kamisama Hajimemashita. He's perfect and his attitude reminds me a lot of Israel. (๑♡3♡๑) 2 - Kakashi from Naruto. 3 - Chat Noir from Miraculous Lady Bug. Okay I know that he's not anime but I don't care because he's such a cute little dork. It's funny how they all have lighter hair when normally I much prefer dark hair colors.
18. What are you and your husband's jobs?
So today I'm a waitress for this cute little Greek restaurant, though I put in my two weeks yesterday and in March I'll start working at the mall at a children's art lessons store! I do enjoy being a waitress and tips are great, but art is my passion and to be able to teach kids art is a dream come true. Israel is a full time student right now but he's going to start working soon after this quarter is over when he gets his Associate's, and will work until we move to Idaho. Once we are there, he'll go back to being a student and work on getting his Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering.
19. Are you planning on getting anymore tattoos in the future?
Oh definitely! ଘ(੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧ The only one I have planned for sure is 神の家族 (kami no kazoku = divine family) which I want to get on my wrist. I'd also love a Spirited Away one but I don't have any plans for that yet.
20. When and how did you get into Naruto? Did you always like Hinata?
Ironically, for years I claimed to HATE Naruto and I refused to watch it! It's because I saw some random episode once as a kid and it was the Chunnin exams and Gaara creeped me out and I thought he was ugly, so stupid me went on a hating spree for years haha. Plus I'm a huge Shojo weeb and Shonan isn't always in my appeal.
Of course now I adore Gaara and love the series with all my heart. I got into it from Israel and Edgar, and Edgar's cousins. We'd play Ninja Storm (I'm not sure which) and I sucked at it but the only character I was even remotely interested in was Hinata and for my noob skills I was decent with her. Plus she's adorable so I liked her.
And then they were watching it and talking about it ALL the time so I naturally got more and more interested in it. I started actually watching it about a year and a half ago and immediately fell even more in love with Hinata. So yeah I'd say I always liked her, I think if it wasn't for her I may not have even given the show a chance. ♡
Well, that's it for the questions! Thank you so much to those who had questions for me! I had a lot of fun doing it and I love being able to interact with you cuties more. If anyone has any more questions comment them here and I'll either respond or save them for another Q&A post later on (I haven't decided yet).

14. What are your favorite things to do?
Sleep. I'm not even kidding, after becoming a mom it's something I'm always ready to do. I also love reading, manga and regular books. Generally I'm pretty picky but once I get into something I get addicted and can't stop reading, I also love drawing, but I don't have much time to anymore and I need to be in the right mood for it. Before I was pregnant I loved running and climbing trees. I'm a really good climber but I haven't gotten around to it anymore. And shopping! I love going to the mall with Israel and he enjoys it too so he's a good shopping buddy haha!
15. Any specific favorite memories?
I live really close to an elementary school and so me and my friends used to hang out there. My best friend Edgar used to live close to it too on the opposite side and so it was a good meeting place. A couple of times we'd meet there at night with Israel and Edgar's cousins. We made up a game where basically I act like the grudge and I creep around the school, while sort of playing hide and seek. Normally I'd be terrified to run around alone at night but since I was the scary thing it was exhilarating. (⁼̴̀ૢ꒳⁼̴́ૢ๑) Sorry for the creepy gif, I had to. Though I could have picked a scarier one so you're welcome. ;)
