Shibooya

My name is María-Cristina, however I usually use my intials MC. I'm a 23 year old English graduate. I currently live in sunny Orlando, FL.

I'm not a huge swapper but when I see something that involves writing and swapping small items, I usually like to participate.

I love learning all sorts of crafts. I knit pretty infrequently since I'm busy lately. I'm learning how to decorate cakes and how to sew. I often blog about all my misadventures.

I'm also recently into digital and film photography. I love getting my hands on expired film (they produce great results). I own a Holga 120CFN.

I adore traveling and have been to Japan, Europe, Peru and other US States. I have a huge interest in anything Japanese, the culture, the music, the fashion and of course, the stationary! I'd love to go back again as a graduation gift to myself!

I love food although I'm not a great cook (I should practice more!). I love trying new recipes or trying out a new restaurant. I love sushi!

I love gaming! I don't have as much time to spend hours on the PS2 like I used to (I know, the shame!) but I tend to carry around my DS Lite so when I find some free time I can play a few minutes of Animal Crossing. Right now, I'm playing FF12, Grandia III, Motorstorm and Virtua Fighter.
