Will I ever lose these old Catholic blues, that direct my shoes, give me the strength to choose
I’m the fourth of five children in a Filipino-American family from Northern California, with roots in Manila, Philippines.
The emotional baggage that I carry is that I often feel like I don’t feel Filipino enough for the Filipinos or American enough for the Americans.
This constant battle to find my place in the world is a significant part of my identity and has a profound influence on my creative writing.
When I’m not writing, editing, or developing WordPress sites for my clients, you might find me spending time with my dog, Luna, immersing myself in a good book or movie, or further curating my iTunes library.
Trying out new food is a massive part of my life, and I’m always excited to explore the diverse flavors of Filipino, Japanese, and Mexican cuisines, which are my favorites. But I’ll never say no to a good rack of ribs!
Traveling is my absolute favorite thing to do, with visiting every Major League Baseball field at the top of our family’s list at the moment. We’ve been to almost every West Coast ballpark so far, and we’re getting ready to take on the East Coast soon.
All the fun things
