About me:
“Are you paralyzed with fear? That's a good sign. Fear is good. Like self-doubt, fear is an indicator. Fear tells us what we have to do. Remember one rule of thumb: The more scared we are of a work or calling, the more sure we can be that we have to do it.” ---Therefore, JUMP IN AND LET GO!
I try to remember to live like this quote by Salman Rushdie:
Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers."

wish i could say this all in tagalog, but while i understand a little by ear, i can't read or write it for the life of me!
Roaring down dirt highways on jeepney rooftops, Gero and I traveled around the Philippines and found adventure on every corner.
On the last day of the year, I was on a bus to Sagada. It was dusk
and after taking four different modes of transporation as well as
waiting in Sabangan for an hour, we were...
All Soul's Day or “Araw ng mga
Patay”, held on November 2, is a call to gather in Philippines.
Though solemn in nature, Filipinos make commemorating the dead an
event. People flock to the graveyards, the most notable of which in
the capital is the Manila Memorial Park. Braving the traffic,...
Barack Obama has won the race. I cried
my eyes out. As voting booths closed one by one and votes were
tallied, reporters did their best to contain their excitement as each
new State went to Obama. Even though I am currently in the
Philippines, thousands of miles away from America, the buzz was...
