Here are my answers to the questions from Rose Monique.

1. How did you choose the name of your blog?
I wanted to name it "In a trice," which means "in an instant"but it was taken already on blogger so I just took out the "a" to make "Intrice." And so a new word was invented.

2. Favorite Holiday?
My favorite holiday is Christmas because that's the time for family and I love the scent of cinnamon being everywhere. ^^

3. Favorite food?
My favorite food is chili. It is simple to make, spicy, very filling, and I consider it to be comfort food.

4. Name one blog that you have to read everyday?
Tvline.com xD I am a spoiler addict for tv shows and I always read recaps for the shows I miss.

5. Have you read my blog before?
I think I came across one of your posts on bloglovin'.

6. Favorite quote?
"Anything is possible if you've got enough nerve." - J.K. Rowling
I feel that nerve is what we all need to have in order to accomplish anything.

7. What would you say has been your greatest accomplishment so far?
My greatest accomplishment so far would be fulfilling my dream to live in China. Even though it was just for a year, it opened my eyes to lots of things and helped me to get to better know myself.

8. What's your favorite thing about your mom?
She is an amazing cook.

9. Do you remember the happiest moment of your life? Tell us about it.
The happiest moment in my life so far was my trip to Yunnan Province in China because its the first time I did a trip like this. I visited 5 cities in one month and traveled by the slow d or k trains of  China (meaning 2 hrs to 2 days on train from one place to the other.) The experience was really life changing and breathtaking. Some fun things I did were: I got to go on a nature trail through the mountains by mule, explore underground caves, meet and learn about the minority tribes of southern China, and visit historic religious and natural sites unique to southern china. I loved the most being able to experience nature! Here are some pictures of my trip.

 

 

10. What are you thinking about?
Ideas for the new layout of my blog.

11. What's your biggest goal in life?

At this point in time, it would be to visit every continent and see the world because I love to travel and eat. :D
