Ten Random Things about Me:

In so many ways, I feel like my life’s just beginning but other times, I feel so old and that I should’ve done more by now.

I love to shop but can’t do it all day, I get tired and need to take breaks (my best friend’s a marathon shopper and I’m in awe of her stamina!).

I have an awful sense of direction (sometimes I get lost in my own neighborhood ).

My first crush was on a boy named Andy Anderson in the 5th grade, once we held hands on the playground and I remember being SO excited.

I love how my dad would write me sweet notes when I was little, like when I was seven, he bought me a dictionary and inside it wrote: “to my darling daughter, Shaiza, may she be as brilliant as she is beautiful. Love, Dad” aww!

I have the greatest friends ever—they are the most amazing, supportive group of people.

I consider myself a good judge of character.

I love babysitting and just hanging out w/ kids of all ages.

One of my favorite things to do is watching movies that come on cable for free, especially on Sunday afternoons.

I’ve been in love once and can’t wait to be again.

Nine Places I’ve visited:

Gosh, I’m so not well traveled, so let’s see…NYC, loved it.

Las Vegas, guess it counts because I visited there before I had to live there for a year.

the rest are going to be parts of Cali: San Francisco, love it.

Santa Barbara, pretty but kinda boring.

San Diego, again, pretty but kinda boring.

Disneyland, fun but have been so many times.

Newport Beach, love it but go so often that it doesn’t really feel like ‘visiting.’

The Getty, awesome and it’s so close I should really go more often.

Oh my gosh, can’t believe I almost forgot Bangladesh!, went when I was 15, loved it but felt so sad to see all the poverty-stricken people, can’t wait to go again.

I got an awesome opportunity to visit North Korea while I was studying abroad in South Korea... it was basically a cruise/tour of Mt. Kumkangsang through Hyundai that was offered for awhile but is no longer available. It was actually one of the strangest/amazing (understandably) experiences of my life. You can pm if you want further details..
