Well officially I was born on the month of Ferbruary of 1975 in the small little island of Philippines. It was cool living over there; the intense all year round type of heat, the flies, the nagging relatives and the poverty. Ask most Filipinos what they remember is probably the scheduled showers in the morning, the cokes in little plastic baggies and the crystal clear beaches. (I'm forgetting alot of things)
Regardless, after all that, the Phillipines was a bore so we had decided to move to the United States. We started out in Hawaii, then we preceeded to goto California and finally to Texas. Houston was the selection that we had made and it was "OK" to me. The first thing I noticed about the United States was (not being racial or anything) the numerous amount of white people that swarmed this country. Once in a while, scattered around were the remnants of African Americans, where we had learned to fear them in the US, regardless if they were harmless in the Philippines. The first scents I grew accustomed to were the scents of Diesel Fuel and McDonald's Food. (For some reason, I would relate to both; meaning if I smelled diesel, it reminded me of French Fries!!)
My first school attended in the US was second grade. Actually it was a day care center but it was basically the same.
AS THE YEARS WENT BY...
Well after those years of changes things went well. We had moved all around Texas and ended up in a town called Waller. It was the most boring towns in all of Texas but it was one of the places where I had stayed most of my life. I graduated at Waller High School and was the only asian in my graduating class. Whoopee...
College....oh my what a BLAST! It's the most exciting part of our lives! Things to see and people to do! The partys! The first time drinking and smoking! The awesome places to go hang out with friends! Oh...of course...you have education somewhere there. As for me, I'm going to the University of Houston. It's ok...but I had preferred to goto New York University.
