Where I’m From

I am from sunglasses, from Armani and Ray-Bans.

I am from walls, colorful and smooth.

I am from the Rose and Daisy.

I am from watching TV and truth, from Robyn, Rowena, and Israel.

I am from the stressed out and competition.

From responsibility and respect.

I am from Christian. Evangelical.

I’m from Manila, pizza and more pizza.

From the time I forged my parents’ signature with a gluestick, the paper I cut the signature from, and the look on my teachers’ face afterwards.

I am from Facebook.
