About Me

My photo
crestina
I'm a daughter, a sister, and an aunt. I have a voracious appetite for food. I'm a loner. I have this "thing" for books and coffee. I love music too but can't carry a tune. I enjoy photography and scrapbooking. And just recently, I'm into running and have been joining Sunday races for the past two months. ( I'm so into it that I resurrected an old blog and intended it solely for my running.Feel free to check it out.) This blog is purely for all those stuff that is part and parcel of my "life".
