"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents. And to live now as we think human beings should live in defiance of all that is bad around us is itself a marvelous victory." -Howard Zinn

    quoteIt doesn’t have to be obvious like adobo, for example. It could be a filling in a pastry bun; I can’t name it but it’s always there. It’s a part of me because it’s something I’ve learned from my parents. So even though it’s French classical cooking, there’s something there that is Filipino. I’ve been in the States for more than 25 years, but in my heart I will always be Filipino.
