I am a 28 year old female that was born in Australia to a Filo/Spanish mother and English/Scottish father. My mom moved to Sydney approximately 32 years ago. I live in Sydney, NSW (in the suburb of Artarmon which is 10km from the CBD) with my boyfriend, Josh, of five years who is an absolute saint. I am currently completing my masters in law and I am a research assistant to a barrister in Sydney.
The main reason that I have been lurking on these boards to find out a bit more about my maternal grandmother's culture. I have only been to the Philippines a handful of times and a few of those trips were at very young ages (4 months old and about 4 or 5 years old). The times that I have been to the Philippines I was pretty sheltered and didn't get to see any of the beautiful places that I have read about because my mom grew up in Manila. I haven't been back for a while because my mom's family has been coming to visit us in Sydney instead.
