A third generation Filipino-American, visiting her ancestral homeland, I am both foreign and at home.
I am blessed with this opportunity, just short of my 56th birthday, to observe, enjoy a rhythm of life that is very familiar to me in even more ways yet to be discovered.   There are many signs and placards that delight me and make me laugh and make me think.  The messages are genuine and unassuming.  Is this quality a part of my cell-memory too?
