April 6, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

 

I’m hap­py to share pic­tures tak­en at the Glen­dale Com­mu­ni­ty Col­lege’s Fil­ipino Fies­ta cel­e­bra­tion, where fel­low writer Noel Alu­mit and I gave a talk and read­ing. The cel­e­bra­tion ran for 2 days on April 2 and 3. Noel and I gave our pre­sen­ta­tion on April 2. The May­or of Cul­ver City, Thomas Aujero Small, also gave a talk on April 2. The room was full of very atten­tive stu­dents and teach­ers. Thanks to Agnes Eguaras and Lin­da Nietes and all.

The group pho­to shows from l‑r: John De Cas­tro (con­tem­po­rary artist), Agnes Eguaras (Dean of Instruc­tion­al Ser­vices), Hazel Ramos (His­to­ry fac­ul­ty), Noel Alu­mit, Cecil­ia Brainard, Dr. David Viar (Col­lege Pres­i­dent), May­or Thomas Small, Dr. Paul Dimayu­ga (Post­colo­nial artist and scientist).

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
