It's been a while since we three have posted. We've gone our separate ways, no longer working together -- all successful in our new endeavors.
I lived what our parents believed to be the American dream. My husband and I bought a house, paid off our car, had a baby, and got a dog. I have also lived the American reality - sold the house, split up with the husband, and am raising a baby as a single mom. But you know what? I'm loving every moment of it. I enjoyed every step that we took to get here. I'm doing more than what my parents or grandparents ever dreamed of doing.
So… what's in store for the new year for us three bebots? We hope to revive our musings and post more frequently. We still have many questions, experiences, and stories about being Filipina-Americans. I, in particular, have lots to say as my son will be growing up in a world of multiplicity - second generation Filipino/Mexican-American. In generations to come, what color will that become? Will brown be the default identifier for mixed heritage children as white is for those of European backgrounds?
I hope I've enticed you to follow us once again and we look forward to your comments and feedback.
Happy 2014!
