The Edible Evolution of Filipino Food, Bite by Bite

The current dining experience is as unique as the creators making the dishes — Though I am, by many accounts, my father’s daughter, my mother has given me two of my most indelible features: her looks and her love of vinegar. One of the first dishes she ever made me was sinigang, an indigenous soup unique for its sour and savory flavor profile —…

MY FIRST 47 DAYS IN RIO DE JANEIRO (For the next two weeks, I’ll be doing a series on Rio, the Olympics and my encounters with Brazilian culture. This is the first in that series.) Tonight, all eyes are on Rio as its rocky Olympic journey enters a new phase…

“OJ Simpson: Made in America” — the crimes we can’t outrun

There is a moment watching the first two hours of “OJ Simpson: Made in America” where you see footage of Latasha Harlins, the 15-year old black girl shot in the back of the head and killed by a Korean corner store owner. I had heard Harlins ‘story before, had read…

Becoming (a poem)

April is a valley of rain, and women stirring their silence to a boil. I knife myself into pieces / lay myself out for the fleshy, pink moon that never comes. In this season of cloud and clay and water poured over, I am almost formed: a woman with a…

The World After Prince: Paying Tribute To My Favorite Artists’ Favorite Artist

Note: This is not a think piece. This is a testimony. I can’t say I grew up with Prince, not the way so many others did. My childhood was filled with more “Dreamlover” and “Black or White” than “Purple Rain” or “Kiss.” I was born in ’85 and spend much…

What we talk about when we talk about home

I want you to take a moment to think of home. Who do you see? What do you taste? How does it smell? How do the people talk? Are there people there at all? What do you feel? Is it one place? Is it many places? How do you know…

What seven hours in a Korean hair salon taught me about the news

As luck would have it, the two days I was charged with monitoring my media habits were two very atypical days in my grad school life. The first was MLK Day, which actually almost began with me clicking on an article via Facebook on the OMG AMAZINGLY CUTE THING CHANNING…

Parting Instructions

I’m a different animal in the winter than I am in the summer. I’m much more introspective, more contemplative at this time of the year — as I’m sure many others are. When I get in this mood, I turn to poems — mostly, those by other women. Nothing against…

Ten More Minutes

Most young women are used to being looked at on the train. So when I felt him looking at me, I did the things that come automatically — I slid down further in my seat. Fixed my gaze out the window. Turned the music in my headphones up. …

Baby’s First Ramen Burger

I feel like the old lady on Snapchat. My snaps aren’t filled with me in curve-hugging dresses or some dimly lit club erupting with bass. My eyebrows are almost never on fleek and bae never makes an appearance. What my snaps are filled with are grad school assignments, one-liners, good hair days and a little story-telling experiment I like to call “Snap-umentaries.” This weekend, I took a time out from writing a story to go out and Snap a story about my first Ramen burger.
