About Amee

Amee’s childhood was spent in two cities in the Philippines: Bacolod and Cebu.

In Bacolod, Amee learned about political and class consciousness. She made friends for life. Here, she learned to eat well and appreciate the manners that would be essential to life as an adult.

In Cebu, Amee spent blissful summers being an ordinary kid living an ordinary childhood. She learned how to appreciate art and literature. Here, she learned to eat on the streets with real people and develop the gut feel essential to life’s adventures.

Then, when Amee was 16, she decided to grow up and live on her own in Manila. She enrolled at a Jesuit university where she learned to question everything and search for life’s meaning. Sometimes, her mom wished she didn’t allow her to leave. But it was too late for regrets.

When Amee moved to LA, little did she realize that she would be fulfilling her childhood dream of becoming a writer. In her own little corner of the universe, she lived her dream.

But it was time to move on and see what was out there. She traveled and realized that exploring a new place is an experience unmatched by any other.

She realized that life is unpredictable and no matter how much you want certainty, you will never get it. What is only certain is in the next few years, more chapters will be added to Amee’s storybook. Thus far, it is only the beginning of her adventure.
