About Me

My photo
This is a blog about snippets of my life. I will try to update more often. I will share my thoughts with you. Expect the unexpected as I've come to do so throughout life. I intend to use this blog as a place to share, as I said, a part of me. Feedback, comments, questions are always welcome. Enjoy. A little bit about me. I'm soon to be 37. Married for 7 years now. 2 Cats - Mimi & CoCo.I have lived in New Jersey all my life. I'm half Cuban. I'm half Filipino. But I'm all American - :D I enjoy a lot of things- travel, photography, baking, reading, crafting. I enjoy giving of my time and resources to those who need it. I am thankful for family and friends for their love and support.

Where did Chinita come from?

When I was deciding on what to call my blog, I thought of so many things. I chose Chinita because it is a nickname from my father. He has recently passed away-12/11/06, so it is my way to pay a little tribute to him.

I am half Cuban/half Filipino. I believe the nickname came about because of my eyes are almond shaped-like some Asian/Chinese people I know. I think the direct translation is little Chinese girl.

So, Chinita it is. Chatter-well, I love to chit-chat with friends, family, colleagues and well, it is alliterative.

Chinita's Chatter will be a compilation of randomness-from what's I ate for lunch-to what projects I'm working on-to where my hubby and I have travelled lately. It may also be a place where I vent. But I hope to make it a place to share. I love websites-so I plan on adding to the list.

I'm still learning this blog thing-so stay tuned for updates & additions.

Best,
Rachel
