happy holidays y'all, although i'm still too much of a student to do bamboo girl print stuff at the moment, i'm still around! with my recent move to ct from nyc, i totally forgot to catch the p.o.b. bill. so, for about a month, people who've been sending me stuff during that time may have had it returned to them. but, i've paid my bill, and my same address is in effect again as of last week:

HAPPY NEW YEAR my fellow revelers! a new year is upon us and i find that though it is full of changes, it's not without its challenges. moving on post-marriage is slow but sure and filled with possibilities, my boob is on the mend post-surgery (no, they weren't implants you asses!), my septum piercing is on its 4-5th month, looks like i'm taking a break from school for the semester so i can

ok, had my breast surgery. healing very well, and downing those zinc and vitamin c pills like they're m&m's. i loved being out and under, tho the being skewered for surgery prep with a giant needle while awake under local anesthesia till it catches my chest muscle was a bitch. i then had to get a mammogram while the bigass needle was hooked in. smushing my boob in the contraption while the

yesterday morning i had a biopsy, since my right breast seems to have a consistent discharge for no reason. i've had a fibroid removed from my other breast many years ago, so i figure this should be no big deal. they prepped the machine, different syringes, did a sonogram to find the area that needed to be sampled. as they swabbed my breast, they saw the chinese characters. the dr was like "

i have survived the boondocks of my old hometown of pittsburgh, pa. walking around the mall, running errands, as usual, i felt like an outsider. even before i got my tats and piercings i always felt like a freak, and definitely felt ugly growing up, cuz i was so different with my ethnic backgrounds in an all white neighborhood and i didn't fit into one category totally and people didn't know

i'm off to see the wizard... actually, just off to suburbia p.a. to celebrate a childhood friend's wedding. decided to go all out with my septum jewelry (as pictured.) yes, i'm nervous about my traditional filipino parents' reaction, but compared to my full arm sleeves, backwork, chestwork, this should be cake, no?

i survived the hyperpatriotic frenzy that is july 4th, where instead of going to a typical bbq i went to a barkada/posse bbq where there were grilled goodies + a screening of the film "savage acts" which is a documentary of the true nature of the genesis of filipino-american relations in all its ugly glory. then we discussed the REAL deal about "philippine-u.s. friendship day" which is around

The Pintadas exhibit opening ROCKED! The exhibit was installed the day before, utilizing the good amount of wall space, as well as the dungeon rooms. People who came really loved the layout of the photos, and of course the photos themselves! Accompanied by the questionnaires, which gave much weight to the images, the mere amount of women on the wall, all API, all tattooed, was very impressive
