Obamarama has responded to Latina Lista’s invitation to guest blog. He took her up on her offer. Rebecca Walker is commenting on BFP’s space as well. So….when will Helen Zia come forth and admit she’s a Sudy fan?

Just for the Record
We were rooting for the Giants. To say we’re ecstatic would be an understatement. If you ask me, the city jinxed itself when it said we’d have the victory parade on Super Tuesday. I mean, SERIOUSLY? We’re prioritizing tissue paper floats and Tom Brady glimpses over our constitutional right to vote? Serves Boston right.
Updates
The city after a snow storm. Me and Kristie Nick and I out with my co-workers/support system (left to right, Dan, Nick, me, Leanne, Alexis) Random Update:I got my nose pierced with my friend, Kristie, while we were in Cincinnati over Christmas break. That’s a picture of us above that was taken right after we […]
Hunter Mountain
Hunter Mountain Nick and Vanessa (Tom, I’m sorry there are no pictures of you and I watching Lethal Weapon IV) Last weekend, Nick and I spent a gorgeous weekend with our friends, Tom and Vanessa, at a condo located at the base of a beautiful Hunter Mountain. A skiing mountain was the perfect backdrop for […]
Top 10 Things on Being Filipino
Welcome to Filipino Friday where everything celebrated is Filipino. Being Pinay, a Filipino American womyn, is a secret treasure that not many people know much about. Often, Pinays get thrown in under the Asian American umbrella, as if China, Thailand, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Sri Laka, India, and other fine countries can be swiftly […]
Reconciling Feminism and Religion
I am working on a piece that is taking me much longer than I anticipated, but it will be well worth it because it is a topic I feel is so large and a part of my identity that rushing feels wrong. I am responding to external and personal requests to address how I identify […]
Our Competitive Sides
A random moment caught when we’re both talking smack to each other, aka making fun of each other/challenging the other to an absurd opportunity to compete against each other to prove one’s superiority. This competition has included: bowling, wrestling, corn hole, geography trivia, rumicube, beer pong, and tripoly…just to name a few.
Nick’s Going Deaf
Nick’s right ear has problems. For the past few years, it has rung more than Sunday church bells and gives him annoying headaches that require zoning out in front of the TV, which happens to be the #1 life pet peeve of mine. I hate 90% of television. I try not to be an annoying […]
Bring on the Fire
Nick and I have been married for 2.5 years. In that time frame, I’ve begun to forget the rage and hectic stress that came with planning a wedding. As Kelly, Nick’s sister, is now engaged, we are often talking about our own experiences with vendors, catering, DJs, space, money, photography, guest lists, flowers, music, ceremony, […]
Anticipating the Impossible
We’re over the Sugar Bowl. I know that we’re officially over it when Nick proclaims, his eyes round like huge UFOs, “You know something? I’m excited for Ohio State football next year!” My mouth is full of my burger, “You are?” Except it sounded like, “YHO AH? “Yes! They’re going to have everyone back next […]
