pondering.

it's been quite the journey with challenges and learning how to just let go. a week has passed by and i've finally adjusted to be in the philippines. i think the biggest struggle was learning how to be a part of my family again. it's been a while since we've spent this much time together with such limited amount of personal space.

i'm currently pondering whether or not to return on the 7th or the 12th. it'll come to me, but i'm just not sure. i think a bit of homesickness has gotten to me that i'm longing to go home. at the same time, there's still so much for me to learn here and so much that i NEED to learn.

many blessings, at least i can say that.

What's the Master's Thesis?

Beneath Our Maria Claras reveal the lives of Filipinas as they attempt to undress layers of pre-colonial identities sewn by patterns of colonialism, imperialism, and patriarchy. For years, I have struggled to remove this garment and try to do what some colonized peoples have done, de-colonize myself and understand the social and historical conditions impacting my live. This blog/research follow my lines of thoughts and understanding while trying to understand: How do second generation Filipina American college students reclaim power that was denied to them culturally through gender?
