I feel I am always late, but as we already know (to come late better than never). I don’t know what I have to write about however I can tell you that I am not sad for quitting my job because I am spending an enjoyable time with my granddaughter and my grandson. Moreover I am so glad in taking this course for it is enriching my mind and gave me the opportunity of dealing with you all.

I love food. Smelling it, looking at it, tasting and preparing it.
I believe you are what you eat and that you eat with your eyes.

When I was about 14 years old, my family and I went on this natural diet and we had to avoid meat, coke, coffee, chocolate, amongst other types of food considered unhealthy. At the age of 16 I decided to cut out red meat from my diet. Since then I have been "half-vegetarian".

Nowadays, I also have lactose intolerance and I actually don't mind about it, but it is difficult to make people accept my condition. That's why I seek acceptance talking about food, cooking or taking pictures.

I appreciate food as art, with colours, flavours, texture, and all the process of preparing it. I feel delighted seeing people's positive reaction, specially when they're eating something healthy.

I have choosed a photo I took recently in East End London and it kind of represents two aspects of my life, which are nicely "connected" by a streetart/graffiti master shok1. Walking through the East-London streets we found two artpieces by him and the resemblance to real X-rays was just so remarkable that it was kind of schocking.  And how is it related to me? I have not told yet that I am a radiologist by profession, meaning that I have to report the same X-rays quite often. And one of my hobbies or interests is modern art, including streetart.  So my profession and hobby are together on this particular graffiti. Of course it is not so easy to see graffities in live, but Instagram helps me out posting the masterpieces of streetart from different places around the World.

Something that’s important to me:

My diary is something that’s important to me. I have been writing a diary since I was young. I still have many old diaries from my teenage years, but I hardly get around to reading them. This is a shame, because the whole point for me is to go back and re-visit my thoughts at a younger age.

I use my diary not only to note down what I did, where I went and who I saw, but also to process my thoughts. A type of therapy, if you will. A chance to express everything I want to in complete safety. I can shout and scream if I want. I can be happy or sad. And it is all contained in my diary.

Perhaps it would be better to express those feelings aloud. That would be my next step. But I just like having this private, comfortable place to write freely and express my emotions.
