Moving out in 30 minutes. Eigh, the tears won’t stop.

Back from Paradise
One of my beliefs about life is that there are only a handful of things that we truly love. “Love” as a word is overused and exploited. We say we love ice cream sundaes. We love fast internet connections. We love no traffic in the morning. I try and intentionally use the word love. I […]
Graduation Today!
So last night I bawled like a big baby when Becky left for New York. Becky, my dear friend who I met in the program, is beginning a new job and needed to actually be a responsible adult and cut her time here short. We all crammed (and I really mean that) into a van […]
Truthing
The truth is difficult to admit. Two months was the flick of a switch, a light bulb’s last flash. It’s going that quickly. The truth is that I am not home and I miss my partner with whom I share my life, love, and body. The truth is that I didn’t write as much as […]
This is Annoying
NEW VIDEO LINK – CLICK HERE! There’s a link to the newest video, now it’s a bit dated since I’ve been trying for several days to upload it. Now that it’s uploaded, it won’t post. Errrrr….Blogger and YouTube are annoying the heck out of me these days, so this is the best I can do.
The People’s State of the Nation Address, (SONA) Philippines
Tomorrow, Monday July 28 is the State of the Nation Address (SONA) here in the Philippines. No doubt, Gloria Macagalpo-Arroyo (GMA) will be distributing her fact sheet of lies that say that employment is up, the economy is better, and the Philippines is on its way to being a “first world” country by 2010. In […]

I’m doing great and my stomach is 100% better. I’m getting over bronchitis after a night in a smoky bar (I will have words with whomever […]

You Can Run, but You Can’t Hide
It has slowly dawned on me (and others in the group) that we only have two weeks left of our program. I find myself consistently checking a calendar to make sure that is accurate because it feels like we should have about a month left, but NO, I am almost finished with my program and […]
Quick, To the Point, In a Language the US Americans Can Understand
I have so much material to write about and so many pictures I would like to post, but it’s getting backed up. The reason my research is backed up is because I have to change names, and have decided not to post pictures of any womyn’s face, due to near 1000 union leaders, activists, professors, […]
