Reading: Sketch from the Pink Grandma

April 25, 2020 by admin 1 Comment

Hel­lo Grandchildren,

When Grand­pa reads in bed, Tes­la always wants to lay on top of him.

Don’t just watch movies and play games, be sure and read books. Your par­ents read books every night before going to sleep.

Read­ing is impor­tant. If you can read, you can learn anything.

Love,

The Pink Grand­ma, Lola, or Grandma

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.
