She had many projects which consisted from a pillow case to a prom dress. In the kitchen, she had two specialty Filipino desserts that she enjoyed making for her family and friends and that was her “suman” (made with sweet rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar) and bilo-bilo (sticky rice balls cooked in coconut milk, tapioca pearls, bananas, yams, taro, and jackfruit).She was an active and a pioneer member of the Iglesia Ni Cristo church in San Francisco.
