Some highlights from the #magkaisa23 Filipino Amer

Some highlights from the #magkaisa23 Filipino American Student and Parent Conference on Saturday 28 October:

I enjoyed some displays about Filipino History in the pavilion, gave my presentation to a full classroom, then was honored to meet and hang with some of my fellow presenters-

Playwright Thelma Virata de Castro @tvdecastro, Animae Executive Chef Tara Monsod @tara.monsod, fashion stylist Sheena Medina @kickitwithchin, as well as seeing my old friend and event organizer Arlene @amamasuy and Reynila @pcarh13 (sadly we didn’t get a pic together this time) - I wish I could have attended all these amazing presentations but I was busy with my own!

After lunch the students from various Sweetwater Union High Schools presented a parade in addition to some cultural performances; and I was pleased to learn that Tagalog is now offered as a foreign language in some of the schools…a big difference in cultural representation from when I was a student, and I think it’s amazing! I am so proud to be asked to participate in the Magkaisa Conference and to share my cultural and career experiences with others. It’s truly a gift! Maraming salamat, @suhsdmagkaisa 🖤🇵🇭✊🏽

In celebration of Filipino American History month,

In celebration of Filipino American History month, I will be presenting again this year at the Magkaisa Filipino American Student and Parent Conference on Saturday, October 28 at Otay Ranch High School. I am excited to share my journey as a mestiza (mixed) Filipina tattooer with this year’s students, and to talk with them and answer their questions. I love being able to give back to young people in this way, and to build connections within the Filipino and creative communities. I am proud to be Filipina, proud to be a tattooer, and proud to be a product of the Sweetwater Union High School District (Chula Vista High School & its School for the Creative and Performing Arts)-
Mabuhay! 🖤🇵🇭✊🏽

Highlights from the rest of our day at @disneyland

Highlights from the rest of our day at @disneyland - mandatory visit to the Haunted Mansion (in full Nightmare Before Christmas mode), an appearance by Sally and Jack, a double evil Queen sighting, and a couple of dirtbags. It was a LONG day, tons of walking, waiting, and people; but WE DID IT!! Next time we will NOT be going on a weekend, but it was a really fun day with my guy! Until next time, Tragic Kingdom!

We’re doing this! Sunday Funday in the chaos of @disneyland with my guy @two__tyred - Todd had never been during Halloween time so it was time for another visit! We’re twinning and I’m being extra dorky…and reminiscing about my baby @jett_bee_ ‘s first visit about 15 years ago at the same time of year…here we go! 👍🏽

I’m so thrilled that @kkstrongfit Kelsey (the human rainbow 🌈💖✨) has chosen me to take her on her tattoo journey; from her first hand tattoos, and now to building a sleeve of beautiful creatures, to which we will add flowers and background later…We started with this very cool unicorn, and then added the spider, snail, and butterfly in Kelsey’s favorite colors. Not only is it fun to execute her ideas, but her presence in the shop is like being blessed with the most positive and beautiful energy!! Thank you, Kelsey, for being up for this adventure and for just being a non-corny ray of prismatic light
🥰🌈✨💖🙌🏽🦋🕷️🐌☀️

Today I had the honor and pleasure of creating and executing a mastectomy tattoo for beautiful warrior @jessica_filloon - consisting of meaningful flowers and elements, and the culmination of a long and arduous health journey.

This is my second year working with @shanewallintattoo and @prettyeffintoni for @personal.ink and @fxckcancer , and I’m very grateful to be part of something so amazing. Thank you @jen_kay_sd for connecting us; and thank you Shane, Toni, Jessica, and Liza (plus Jordan and Mikey) for an incredible day full of joy and renewal - I am so grateful, and you’re all so awesome 🥰🥹💖🎀💪🏽

It was a crazy challenge to duplicate the craftsmanship of this colorful alebrije dragon for @trish.sanchez.927!! I’ve never done a tattoo in this style before, but it was fun to execute and I’m happy with the result! Thanks again, Trish; another really cool idea!! 🐉🇲🇽✨

9•23•23 Great after-work hang with @avalontattoo_2 homies @fipbuchanan and @thegood.d.tattoos last night for @adamsavesd Adams Avenue Street Fair - we got to see our buddy @davewarshaw @warshawsprovisions tear it up with @thecreepycreeps, and saw a bunch of rad friends along the way too - including one of the organizers of the event @not_julie_its_julia with @karmiclife Sara, two of our favorite @antiquerowcafesd servers, and the beautiful @marmarwarshaw of @funzonesd - and there was ice cream!! It was a fun evening walking around, seeing friends, and meeting cool people…I only wish I could have gone earlier to see more bands! 🖤🍦🎸🎡✨

I loved creating and executing this badass Medusa for the amazing and badass @alchemistjess!! The power of the myth and the meaning it holds for those who wear it is something deep and primal, and I’m here for it! Thank you, Jess, for the sharing and the trust 🥰🖤🐍⚧️✨
