ASTIG - Filipino slang that can mean tough, cool, strong, fierce, awesome, amazing, incredible, great

About this blog

"And I thought I was going to be somebody by the age of twenty-three," laments Lelaina Pierce (Winona Ryder) in THE movie of my generation, Reality Bites. To which Troy (Ethan Hawke) replies, "The only person you're supposed to be at twenty-three is yourself."
To which I replied, "Oh, yeah? Like how, Troy? Like how? Like HOW???"
It's taken me THREE DECADES to begin to know how to "be myself". What can I say? Some people are just late bloomers.
This blog is dedicated to all the late bloomers out there.
HAPPY LATE-BLOOMING! ;)
