Downtown, San Diego, California (United States)
I was born in San Diego, California in August 1995. I lived most of my life in a house near Downtown a few blocks away from Seaport Village and Petco Park (near the picture posted above). I enjoyed living next to so many buildings. As a result, I feel best in metropolis areas with many buildings, but with clean streets just like the ones in Downtown San Diego. An ideal scene would be a balance between skyscrapers and nature, such trees and plants.
Costa Turistica, Acapulco, Guerrero (Mexico)
Both my parents are from small neighboring towns in La Costa Chica de Guerrero near Acapulco. This makes Acapulco the closest reference point and as such, I consider Acapulco part of my origin too.
City of San Fernando, Province of Pampanga
(The Philippines)
(The Philippines)
Nearly all of my family members are Mexican - of the original people of Mexico. However, one of my grandparents and both great grandparents from my Dad's side immigrated to Guerrero in the mid to late 1800s from the Province of Pampanga in the Philippines. The City of San Fernando is again one of the largest points of reference from the towns that they were from. My last name passed down from my father's side, Guinto, originates from Tagalog - a word that means "gold."
