About Me

I'm looking for spirituality and peace through words.
I came to Vallejo Ca. from the Philippines in 1993 and having been writing about why I left ever since.

Blueprints to conquer the world never had contingency plans for the children of manifest destiny.

The chaos lives on through me, the screaming pleas of a spiteful colony are smashing at my rib cage.
