PAD2014: Day 47

Table Time: an event where we gather to discuss relations and race dynamics within our fellowship. I am truly grateful because I realize there are few to no other organizations at school that really discuss barriers to being a multiethnic community. 

PAD2014: Day 46

Spent the day cooking, updating my hair and hanging out with my mentee! 

Photo of the day 46 shows the before-and-after of a dish I've been wanting to make for a while: roasted sweet potato hash!

PAD2014: Day 44


This week's Encounter was spent building Caregiver Kits for AIDS/HIV caregivers in Swaziland. It was amazing to encourage the fellowship to stand with people fighting for justice through selfless love on the other side of the world. This chalk drawing represents our decision to partner with them in the fight against the epidemic.

PAD2014: Day 43

Meeting up for accountability. The beauty of having multiethnic sisters means that we can encourage and confide in each other, but also get help on Spanish homework!

This photo features responses from our Encounter on justice and the gospel, and how we play a role in bringing God's heart for social justice into a reality. It was a powerful night featuring a lot of artistic responses, more photos below!

PAD2014: Day 36

Here is my fabulous boss pictured with the members of Filipino-American acapella group: "The Filharmonic," they were on The Sing Off on NBC! 

The guys were really sweet and extremely talented, one of them goes to USC and is in the same school I'm in! 

The USC Fisher Museum of Art, where I am a proud intern (!), had our opening reception for our new exhibition "Triumph of Philippine Art" and it was wonderful! From delicious catering to a visit from the Philippine Consulate General, it was one of those nights where I literally kept thinking "Ilovemyjobilovemyjobilovemyjob!"

PAD2014: Day 35

Winding down my night by finding new acoustic artists on YouTube. Andrew A Garcia performs "Sunday Morning" in this  screen shot that serves as the photo of the day. I love the passion that these artists put into remixing covers and the vulnerability of uploading their performances online.
