Carmela Martirez

And welcome to my First Blog post.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. Publishing my thoughts and words and ideas out gives me so much anxiety. I am so nervous about letting other people in. But I feel that this is a step in a direction that will give me more options in life. In other words thank you for stopping by and taking some time to check in on me.

So let me introduce myself.

Again my name is Carmela Martirez . with a R and not a N. and on a normal basis i just go by Mella.

And i am a Filipino American living in a suburb of Los Angeles. in other words i can sing and dance but i have been out of practice for years.

I love Food. i love trying different types of food. I love to cook and bake. and recently i have begun a collection of cook books. but i have been in the kitchen since i was 7.

I love traveling. i have been to many places many countries. in later blog posts i will tell my stories of my adventures

Writing is another passion of mine.i write a lot of poetry in hopes that someday i can have some help writing music to it. And i like to write not so short stories that i get inspired from songs that i have listened to on the radio or my favorite artists. and honestly when i was younger i had written in at least a dozen journals about how if i was a famous actor or something…and now that i think about it … its very cringy and hope it never sees the light of day.

In other words i just like being creative. This is a special outlet that will help me do so.

i am not quite comfortable speaking in front of a camera but maybe one day.

i love taking photos. mainly of food.

and for sure i am late to the make up game. but i am slowly and surely learning.

same with fashion. i love it and i can appreciate it. but on most days i am just wearing jeans and a tee-shirt.

and as of right now I work in customer service. aka i work in food retail. and with my job i have attained many skills from it to be honest. A box girl to working in the bakery to becoming a cake decorator and then to running a department and now i am in marketing aka building displays at work. and oh boy the stories i can tell.

funny how words can make something so simple seem so grand.

well those are a few things about me.

And i cannot wait to share more things with you.
