...who knew we'd be talking about him in the past-tense so soon?

About Me

...just a girl, travellin, livin, learnin... and healing

trying to understand the cruel lessons in life, like taking someone who was soooo full of life away, far too soon

CURRENT LOCATION: SEATTLE, WA

born in the south eastern hemisphere under an african moon to two loving parents from the islands of the philippines with 3 brothers and a sister i never got a chance to meet. from africa, a brief hop to germany and a skip over to hawaii i ended up in california where i spent most of my time in sacramento... up until 3 years ago - i've played with wild pigs in talafofo falls in guam, drank bietzberger & ate shnitzels in bremerhaven, got my hair braided by a mother and her daughter in honduras, jumped the cliffs of kipo falls in kauai & pole danced in a bar in hamburg... somewhere between new york and hawaii - i didn't realize that i found a big part of my future, but that's not all - my journey continued as i travelled back to the beautiful philippine islands, the land of 'my people' - where i played in both black & white sand beaches, watched my boyfriend go undefeated betting on cock fights which he used the winnings to treat one side of my entire family [27] to a day in a tourist spot called 100 islands. due to technicalities we landed ourselves a free day in hong kong where we roamed the streets and absorbed all that we could in the short 24 hour stay there. my travelling has come to a pause and i now reside in the northwest, SEATTLE - it's a beautiful city. i'm getting to know myself better here and find myself falling more in love with life and everything it's had to offer me thus far.

with as many different soils that my feet have touched - i never have and never will forget where i came from.

about me a constant work in progress

Did i mention i'm smitten?

UPDATE I am now a mom to be - due November 3, 2008. One day before Dave's birthday!
