let’s face it. everywhere i look on the internetz, i see mostly white people being represented. same with magazines. i have no problem with that but there are occasions when i (as a minority), long to see someone who is kind of like myself (even if it’s just physical features), rendered or photographed in a classy, beautiful way and not as a potential “mail order bride”. here are some found images of classic Philippine actresses…

it’s funny: a lot of the times you get hella embarrassed being around your own people and of course you spend the first 30 years of your life trying to get away from them but at the same time, when they’re not around…you kinda miss them. you miss the embarrassing shit, the fobbiness of your culture, a relative who chews with their mouth open, or the aunt who is quick to tell you you’re fat. i’m sure you know what i mean.

I Love You.

It’s been 2 years since my mom left this earth. This photo sums up one of the things she enjoyed the most in life: eating good food with her family and friends.

We love and miss you so much Mom. A certain someone misses your cooking, especially the lumpia you used to make; and I miss seeing you at the house, hearing you play the piano and spending time with you while eating spam, eggs and rice. Chubby misses you too.

We miss you.

Today marks a year since my mom passed away. She liked Thomas Kinkade’s artwork a lot. She was Christian; always prayed for us and had peaceful images with prayers framed and hung up in her house. She also played the piano and enjoyed having company over. Glad you are resting now, Mom. We love and miss you so much.
