in the dead of night

writing: bangkok at 11

This is the first piece I wrote that was published in a national weekly magazine. It was about my vacation in Bangkok, when I traveled on a plane alone for the first time [I remember it quite well.]  Links to the drawings in color

Badet and I in front of the spirit house in the compound where they lived in Soi 13.

This is my favorite photo of this trip. I drew the spirit house, see drawings

 

 

With my cousin Tina. 

 

 

 

 

  

This was at the Sunday market. That's Tito Vic, Badet's dad. The other girls were friends of my cousins from Assumption, as far as I recall. 

 

 

On Sukhumvit Road. 

 

Cielito, Badet, Tina, and me.  

 I think we had to attend some Filipino festivity.

 

 

 

Of course, I was too short. I was tiny when I was 11.
