The adjustment of Melinda Babaran is ever since she was a kid, writing has been her outlet. “I just write
whenever I'm upset just to pour out my emotions and then after that, I throw it away. That’s my way of
not filling my heart and I can’t cultivate anger. ” they were treated by Filipinos and non-Filipinos. This
are the ways Taiwanese and her father treat her. “Latay sa Laman” was written like a monologue, in
which Barbaran details her relationship with her father, who did not fully accept her sexuality. She says
that unlike in the Philippines, she found that the Taiwanese had no qualms about her sexuality. “Hindi
katulad sa Pilipinas na ‘pag nakasalubong ka, tataasan ka na agad ng kilay o iiwasan ka o masama agad
ang iniisip sayo,” she says. “‘Yung discrimination talagang naranasan ko doon mismo sa loob pa lang ng
bahay so how can I expect other people to accept me kung sa sarili kong bahay hindi ako accepted?” The
pinoy traits that helped her to survive are hard-working, focused, passionate, active. The adjustment of
