What are your favorite animals?
Their soft eyes are hard to resist.
Their unconditional acceptance is comforting.
Their ability to live in the present and love despite all they’ve been through is inspiring.

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?
In precolonial Philippines the women were valuable in counsel, spiritual guidance, trained in warfare, and allowed to have independent wealth.
This energy and intuition brought balance and insight, especially when the leaders of different groups met to resolve disputes or create strategic alliances.
Today, we see glimmers of this in the FMA community and beyond.

Life has not always been kind nor comfortable as it is now. And despite all that is expected of him, all that he chooses to obligate himself to, he still keeps the window open…

My beautiful bird,
where have you been?I’ve missed you.
Your feathers –
they are not the soft,
full down of innocence.They are structured,
interlocking,
purposeful.You are you,
and someone different. -
I believe in fate/destiny, and here is why…
I am finding out, more often, that the universe will place challenges, people, and opportunities to build you towards the life that you want. In order to get those things, go to those places, become that person, there will be a definitive road map.
Just like when we decide on a destination and we enter that into a navigation app for help, even when we get lost or decide on a detour, there will be opportunities and decisions that bring us back or reorients us towards that destination.
Sometimes we are not in tune, and sometimes it’s simply downright denial that causes us to go off course. Nevertheless, when your ultimate fate or destiny becomes clearer, your decisions and actions respond to align.
Some of the people and experiences thus far have been the signs, the turns, the unexpected redirects to refine and define a clearer path for each of us. Some of those moments were painful lessons we can be grateful for because they were the necessary uncomfortable pushes towards the steps that we needed to take, the catalyst to acknowledging deep down the internal compass was freaking out to madly seek out one’s true north, and we were unhappy because the destination we saw for our futures were different than what others saw for us.
And recently the fate of events forced a pivot in step with time.
For me, for now, the course correction lessons for this turn:
* Loving where people are at, and letting them go.
* Honoring fate will create events to pull you towards your destiny.
* The universe will make space for what you want, sometimes in a way that you may not expect.
