Growing up

It's way past my bedtime. I am trying to write but can't seem to get started. My column is late (again!)-- must get out of this rut. I sat here an hour ago but I started surfing and reading blogs -- checking on friends -- clicking on links. Little Avid is not so little anymore he's a hotsh** director in the Philippines -- www.littlerocket.net From his site, I found Saab Magalona's -- one of Francis M's little girls. (Or at least I remember her when she was little. All the kids have grown up -- I do wonder about Elmo, who was the youngest when I left.) Ended up at The Wily Filipino. After googling "Growing Up Filipino" -- a lame attempt to inspire me to write, I found this list. Growing up Filipino in the Philippines is one thing, growing up Pinoy in America is quite another, I believe.
