There are no little events in life. Those we think of no consequence might be full of fate- Amelia B

About Me


I love my life. My friendships & relationships are loving, nurturing, enduring and meaningful. My god children are my source of joy & motivation. I am very passionate about my work that deals with providing safer housing in San Francisco to low-to-moderate income families with children. It is satisfying to know I can make a difference in this world. I spend my time going out to dinner with friends, attending concerts, watching live music, visiting art museums, attending a variety of events, volunteering, fundraisers, clubs, bars, reading a good book, catching a flick (most preferably action & kung fu movies), walking, hiking, camping and travel. I'm very open minded, love being around people, but also a homebody. I love to cook a variety of food (Filipino, Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, etc) and bake. I love to play games, watch DVDs and veg in front of the tube. I'm also very creative. I took a knitting class in 2005, a sewing class in 2006, taught myself beading & crochet. I also draw, paint and do a variety of crafts. I've done favors for almost all the office parties we've had within the last 5 years. As you can see, I love to stay busy. I like to keep an open mind and pretty much down for anything. I'd like to think I'll try anything once, before saying, "I'm never going to do that". Last year, I went skydiving for the first time & instantly fell in love. This may sound lame, but finally got to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain for the first time & nearly died from happiness. I love roller coasters. I love horror movies. There are so many wonderful aspects of life that I love; it seems there's never enough time to do everything I want to do.
