i did a bad thing.

i peeked. i shouldn't have, but the trance of being drawn into someone's drama is too enticing - especially when my name is somehow thrown into the mix. i seem to find myself at the crossroads of many relationships may it be community or personal. these insecurities plague my character. i'm racing to catch onto the skirts of my dignity, which is probably why i'm literally running again.

i'm in the place where i want to be strong - spiritually, mentally, and physically. i want to stand grounded on my foundation. i enjoy it when my feet are rooted on the earth's floor. i feel powerful and whole.

this journey is returning to its spiritual center.

namaste.

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?
