From Jose Rizal's colonized Maria Clara to a 21st century Gabriela Silang fierce like Lorena with a rifle in her arm to the 100 most influential Filipina women in the U.S. with Pinay Power, I am.

checking in …
1) i still have dreams about new orleans and the 500+ participants moving through the hotel maneuvering their way through the conference. it is possible to suffer from ptsd from the non-profit world.
2) trying to distinguish the difference between personal goals and work goals is challenging. i’m not sure how to halo-halo the two so that i feel fulfilled. i can’t even define a personal goal right now. i’m torn between recognizing the privilege i have to be currently employed, have access to education and upward mobility, and to have options. at the same time, i am striving for something different, undefined, and intangible. i miss human interaction. i miss critical thinking and conscious raising work. i am also realizing how ill-prepared i was for the “real world” and the lack of office skills.
3) i’m just a big ball of uncertainty right now. i can’t promise you anything but an adventure.
