observer of life or in layperson's terms: writer

up sappho society, task force pride, isis international manila, university of the philippines film institute, gma7

literature, creative writing, films, photography, chillout music, good food, great company of smart women and mature men, queer issues and concerns, lesbian-themed stuff on earth and out there in the cosmos and everywhere else, and reconnecting with kindred spirits

lots, but carl sagan's CONTACT is up there as well as gabriel garcia marquez' ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE, toni morrison's BELOVED and jeanette winterson's THE PASSION as well as all her other works, some works of virginia woolf and all works of douglas coupland especially LIFE AFTER GOD, classic lesbian novel RUBYFRUIT JUNGLE by rita mae brown, DOGEATERS by fil-am writer jessica hagedorn

lots, but CONTACT and GIRL INTERRUPTED come to mind and everything with JODIE FOSTER and ANGELINA JOLIE in leads/second leads and a bunch of european films and movie musicals and lgbt indie flicks like GO FISH

OSTs, chillout/lounge music, also triphop to a certain extent, not so much the loud music, latin beats, old school jazz/blues, alternative poprock, putumayo world music collections, TORI AMOS, INDIGO GIRLS, BILLIE HOLLIDAY, and a lot of women singer-songwriters both local and foreign like alanis, suzanne vega, natalie merchant, dido at iba iba pa

THE L WORD!!!!!!!! (it's cool! it's hot!), queer as folk (labs ko pa rin mga badingers dito pero sorry, the L.A. L-word gels rock!), csi orig/csi ny, the apprentice (life lessons learned here: saksakan sa likod blues and all that jazz - don'tcha love it?) and yes aaminin ko na smallville kasi mukhang bading si clark hihihi...

i like watching films, listening to good music, sampling great food from all over. i love to dance.

i enjoy the solitary confinement of being a writer, but i do seek out person-to-person communication. i love to discover new places, travel with friends and kindred spirits.

i am a lesbian feminist but i don't consider myself a wannabe man.

latest incarnation is as a film school teacher. oo nga pala, paminsan-minsan nagdidirek ako ng video and tv stuff pero saka ko na lang ikukuwento sa yo. sa ngayon, scriptwriter ako sa tv ng isang children's show. happy siya.
