Just curious – what are you good at?

For me, I have found that people come to me to talk about their problems and get advice. Guess I’m a good listener, strong person, and don’t put up with crap from anyone. I wanted to be a psychiatrist when I was younger.

I also think that I am good at dancing, in particular, tap dancing. It’s in the genes. My grandma used to teach line-dancing classes and my mom danced in college. I’m a dancin fool, lol.

I meant that I wanted to be a psychologist, not a psychiatrist (definitely not, lol). My grandma worked at a mental hospital and got punched in the face.

Hey Jeff… I am also a karate enthusiast… I got to brown belt in my style; Ishin-ryu karate do. My father was my teacher, he is in the hall of fame. I had to quit because when I started modeling I was always bruised and of course money was a lot better. But my father is always asking to go back and finish my black belt.

My other passions are (and I'm quite good at them)

– cooking (already paid tuition to start as soon I finish the CPA exam)

– photography (I love taking picture, I also want to take a course)

– I modeled for a while (money was good, traveled the world) but I wanted my degree and profession you can never rely solely on modeling, even if you are a VS model… you never know!

-last but not least; medicine, specifically plastic surgery (not for vain women/men but for some type of deformity at birth or accident). I am fascinated by it. My bachelor is in Biomedical Science… I was going straight to medicine… But I saw my parent so dissapointed and “frustrated” with their profession I backed up and decided accounting as the next best thing… I like it as well. But never thought that I was going to pursue it.

This is a great thread. Gives us a chance at getting to know candidates at a somewhat personal level, that we are not just cpa candidates. What am I good at? Hmmmm…..gosh, I have to give this some thought.

I. Counting my blessings.

2. Cooking Asian dishes, especially Filipino food.

3. Being Asian. What does this mean? Think stereotype.

4. Driving myself nuts studying for this exam.

5. Creativity

6. Squeezing toothpaste out of an empty tube, getting every drop of liquid soap out of a container, recycling plastic spoons and forks, freezing leftovers and reusing it for other dishes, recycling…ok, this should explain part of the being Asian.

I actually feel like Simslayer. Maybe it's just the moment.

F - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
B - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
A - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.
R - Passed...THANK YOU, LORD. GLORY TO GOD.

To add:

I love to cook…I would have been a chef if accounting didn't work out.

I love to do hair…I was thinking of getting my beauty school license after this exam.

My mom has a small production company that I help manage. We shoot short films and pilot episodes. I am learning film editing…well, I was until I started failing these exams.

@Maverick…I am asian too, but I am on the opposite side of keeping stuffs. I am obsessive of keeping my house clean and almost empty. I LOVE throwing away stuffs! It just makes me feel good when I put stuffs in trash can and see my space back. Once I pass my CPA, I will start a threw-away stuffs party, which for sure, including my Beckers book and note cards!
