The Blog

camera & cheese is a personal "space" that serves as an avenue for me, the author, to share my thoughts and experiences in writing. camera & cheese is a blog that incorporates the different aspects of my life, hoping to help and inspire others through the information I share.

If you ask me why my blog's name is camera & cheese, my answer is simple. I love photography and I love cheese. They sounded good together. Nothing special. I don't care if some "critics" tell me that my name does not completely describe my blog. I just like how it sounds and it's here to stay.

The Author

My name is Johanna, and I'm proudly blogging from Tacloban City, Philippines. I'm turning twenty-two this August. I studied business management at the University of the Philippines. I am a humanitarian worker by day, public management (master's) student after work, English tutor by night, singer-musician in the shower, wanna-be beauty and fashion expert when I feel like it, cook and baker on the weekends, techie and travel junkie on pay-days, and a neat freak all year round. I've decided to be more committed to becoming a  "Christian" later in life, better that than too late.

I have wonderful parents, one younger sister and younger brother. I am in love and committed to a relationship with my boyfriend of three years. I have a decent home, and a nice room that I have almost complete control of. I have the bestest friends anyone could ever have.

If I were to describe myself in one word, it would be that I am dynamic. I'd like to think that I am creative. I love to write and take photos. Singing was my first love and it still is my best talent. I am adventurous and will always be young at heart. I love to travel and experience new things. I like to bake, although I don't always get things right. I'm basically "a jack of all trades, but a master of none." What I'm trying to say is, I have so many things I want to do. Blogging helps me express and share my experiences. It's my avenue, comfort zone, and journal.

I hope you'll find my insights interesting and read-worthy. I'd love for you to comment and ask me as much as you can. I might not be able to answer all questions, but I'll try. I welcome constructive criticism, not bashful statements.

Disclaimer

I'd like to add a disclaimer here so I wouldn't have to write one on my every post. No, I'm not here to boast or show off. I'm not a professional "blogger" nor am I an expert in the things that I write about or share. I originally started a blog to help my friends with makeup related problems and here I am now wanting to share more content so I can reach more people. I am just an ordinary person who wants to channel my inner writer. I can make mistakes. As what E. Goulding's song says, "I'm only human." And that's it.  This is not my source of income, therefore I am not paid to write in this blog. I only share my personal experiences and I am not liable for whatever action my readers take.
