Mandirigma in Stilettos
We are warriors, we are heroes…
"Scarred but beautiful. Beautiful but humble.
Humble but fierce. Fierce but submissive.
Submissive but independent. Independent but
fragile.
Fragile but brave. Brave but sensitive.
Sensitive but strong. Strong but gentle,
and nurturing…"
~ Clarisse Pastor-Medina aka "Kináng"

My New Year's Eve Brunch
My pre-New Year brunch this morning, a synchronized celebration with New Year's eve, Philippine time. A cup of Tsokolate-eh (thick chocolate

made of Batangas tablea balls) with pinipig and a plateful of leftover caldereta, scrambled eggs, potato salad and rice. This is a spread of post-holiday comfort food I grew up having. We really grow more sentimental and nostalgic as we get older, especially if we are far away from the land that our hearts first called "HOME".
