I graduated with a Ph.D. in Economics.  For the past year and a half, I have also been taking the series of CFA exams.  With all this education under my belt, I thought it would be so much easier to find a job.  And as fate (and the recession) would have it, I am still searching after seven months.  Six years of grad school, however, did make me more resilient to a bad economy.

What I do have, though, is a lot of time in my hands.  So I have been using the past few months to learn other skills that have been put aside all these years.  Cooking and baking are two of those that I have been doing a lot of.  I’ve also taken up sewing again… the last time was probably 10 or so years ago. And since my husband and I got a puppy a couple of months ago, I’ve also become a Cesar Millan wanna-be.  And all these had to be done within a very strict budget constraint. So I decided to share the things I’ve learned in this blog… which also gives me another thing to do.  Because let’s be honest, when you don’t have kids, you can only do so much in the house when you’re house-bound.
