Maybe God is the space between you and me.

About Me

Lots of pictures here!

I am trying my best. Youth Minister of St. George Church in South Stockton, California (www.catholicvibe.com) . Executive Director of the Little Manila Foundation (www.littlemanila.net) . Co-owner of Moment Mediaworks, a multimedia business. Storyteller and filmmaker.

I believe in God. So I wanna wash feet. I believe we have to be responsible for each other. I don't believe in war or the death penalty. I don't believe in dividing, separating or excluding. I believe in love.

I believe the key to the future is understanding the stories of the past. Whether they are stories of faith, heritage, politics, culture, technology, whatever. There can be no progress without this.

I received a BA in Cinema at SFSU and later an MA in Asian American Studies also at SFSU. I also got Citizen of the Month in the Fifth Grade.

I am just a link in the chain.

My Interests

God, social justice, film, Little Manila, South Stockton, good friendships.

Farmer's hands

It's been almost ten years since my father passed away...I miss the coarse and cracked hands of my father, for that is what unconditional love feels like to me.

TYPHOON! TYPHOON! TYPHOON! ...and rain

My father came to me in a dream last night. He said that life is like TYPHOON! TYPHOON! TYPHOON! ...and rain. And that one of his fondest memories was drinking coffee from a tin cup roasted on an open...
