A 42-year-old single parent of three who started Dinking at 40, in between cooking supper, and writing jobs. "Diwata" in my language means a female elemental with magical powers.

one should not slay, nor cause to slay.

Assembling footwear? That's in China. Nope, striker, after grueling years of learning perfect English,we become nannies, domestics, nurses and caregivers of the West. Some people find such occupations denigrating. But i don' think so...it just shows my people's innate culture - we're loving and caring people. That's the main reason i moved back here from the States.

I have a frightening thought, that crossed my mind not just once...people from the West seemed not to have enough time for their young and their elders...entrusting their most precious legacies (their past and future)to many of us...the subtle influences from another culture is insiduous...
