Identity, Culture and other musings of a Filipina giya Guåhan
So I've decided to screw the whole "100 days" thing. I clearly don't care enough about the pressure but I do feel a little bit more confident that I'll be motivated to write more. As a child, I visited the Philippines 3 times and I barely remember the first one. My upbringing didn't allow me … Continue reading Identity, Culture and other musings of a Filipina giya Guåhan
Day 7: Final Thoughts
As I've mentioned before, I was already using flats to begin with. I knew this was the best choice in terms of laundry and in terms of price tag.

Flats Challenge Day 1: Why I’m Participating
When the virus hit Guam, my sister messaged and asked if I needed anything from the store because she was going to get baby stuff before she ran out. Immediately, my answer was “like what?” because I (a fortunate dingus) forgot for a moment that people usually get disposable diapers from the store.

12: l. o. l.
Because I'm realizing I'm not making much headway for 100 posts in one year - we're like halfway through the year and I've only gotten 10% in - , I've decided to talk about a not so favorite quality of mine.
