dear grandma,
\nlast night i went to an asian american film festival (where they show short and long movies written by young filmmakkers) and saw one about a girl’s grandmother and i thought of you.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

how are you? i am doing very well, so well that i wonder how i got so lucky! i’m not sure what mom has told you but i have gotten a promotion at work. i am now producer of the websites, rather than just an assistant, which simply means more responsibility and more to do. it’s all good, though, and i feel like my job is becoming a challenge again, and therefore more interesting and enriching. (it also means more money, and maybe i can finally come visit you soon!)<\/p>\n

i have also recently moved again, to yet another part of town. this is my final move here in los angeles, though, i can assure you, because i love my house. it IS<\/u> more of a house than an apartment — a duplex, really, with hardwood floors and big windows and lots of space. and don’t you worry: the neighborhood is quite safe. in fact, there a few filipinos families on the block. manay mina & manay leonor s<\/strike> came with my mom and dad on mother’s day, so you can ask them yourself when they come over to make tsismis.<\/i> i will also take many pictures, and send them to you.<\/p>\n

aside from those two big events, i am keeping busy with my usual work with the youth group at st. monica’s and writing on the side and, of course, spending time with friends. my life feels<\/strike> is so full right now and i feel incredibly blessed.<\/p>\n

i hope you are doing well. i am sure you are doing too many things at once (it runs in the family, perhaps!) as usual. just remember to take it easy and keep your worries to a minimum.<\/p>\n

i promise to write again soon.<\/p>\n

i love you and miss you dearly.<\/p>\n

always,
\nchristine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
