calvin: ngek, tagal na to ah. anyway recently lang, she withheld representing us sa Miss World so yung runner up yung pupunta. i think her reason is to attend to her ailing grandfather.

They were shocked when they met my parents and grandparents at a school function. YES THEY WERE!

Hey, that’s the beauty of the Filipino mosaic, don’t you think? We can “camouflage.” Use what people think is an identity “weakness” and turn the damn tables.

calvin: Woot!! Represent!

My maternal grandmother was raised in Zamboanga, and my paternal grandmother hails from Hawaii-but Ilokano. So English, Chavacano-Spanish and Ilokano are the languages I am able to speak and understand.

BTW, When I speak Spanish, people say, “I thought you were Filipino?” It is not a popular language in the Philippines for obvious reasons of negative ramifications of colonialism. I don’t argue about that, because it is true. However, one semester, I studied in Mexico City, for university requirements, only to discover many documents and articles written “by” Filipinos in the archives. Thousands of them. You see, Spanish is not just for the light skinned, beautiful, or the rich anymore. If that were the case, I would have never studied it in high school and college, because I don’t have any of those attributes.

I would encourage any Filipino to study Spanish, not to speak it fluently, nor lord it over anybody, but to read 333 years of our history IN the language it was written in, despite the conquistadors being assholes and the majority of Filipinos not having any HIspanic blood.

(Please don’t let the good-looking little guy on the photo read any of my comments. If you do, may your special loved-one slap you so hard that you land in the middle of next week!)

Hey, it may be a dark period in our history, but it IS our history nonetheless. Take the good, the bad, and the ugly! Just like Miss Janina’s final answer!

On the bright side, this young beauty, will NEVER be mistaken for Miss China, that is for damn sure! Thank goodness. With all do respect for the Chinese.

I just have a score to settle with them. I have heard -first hand- that they (Chinese-Japanese) would never consider Filipinos “Asian” because of our mixture and ‘beautiful’ mosaic make-up. We are the Hispanic-Black people of Asia, according to thier eyes primarily because of our economic and political woes. Well, you know Mr. Calvin, that made my Filipino blood go over the top. That is why I am bombastic and dogmatic with my comments sometimes. I hope you understand and you don’t have to post this comment. I truly would understand.

You deserved an explanation just so know that here is a method to my madness. I’m not the only American born Filipino who feels this way, by the way.

Take care, okay?

Take care of yourself and the little guy, won’t you?

calvin: that’s one damn good, yet lengthy comment jenn! I should make it a blog entry on itself. Heheheh. Thanks for sharing us your views. Proud to be Pinoy! BTW, the little guy on the pic is me when i was a kid.

Now, Mr. Calvin, stop making me to say any more crazy things. I’ve said enough vulgar and controversial things. It’s your fault (LOL). I’m too much of a lady to say anything else.

Much love and respect, baby! Peace-out!

(Mom’s half filipina-puerto rican, dad is half filipino-black). 50% Asian, 25% Puerto Rican, 25% black = 100% Filipina! HEYYYYYYYYYYYY!

The darker the berry the sweeter the juice, honey! So, tell the darker skinned Filipinos that “there is NO shame, to thier game!” It’s all good and be proud!

Now see? You made me say something crazy again!

Same!

You got it baby! My girlfriend in high-school (Mexican-white), who always teased me (love her anyways, ya know) and thought that Filipinos were “Chinese-Japanese-type” Asians.

Well, poetic justice occured. She fell in love and married a Filipino-national after college.

Laughingly, after her honeymoon, she concluded and said “Damn, girl…Filipinos are Asians in geographics ONLY!”

I responded and said, “Why? Did Fred fry his lumpia on your tortilla and made your eyes pop out?”

She said, “Si”….
I said, “See what?”

2/3 of Russia lies in Asia. Are they Asian? Cuba and Puerto Rico are island countries of the North American continent (geographically) but “Latin”American culturally.

I just don’t want people in the world thinking ‘all’ Filipino women are flat faced, flat chested and ugly with Filipino men having very little to jiggle to make their ladies wiggle. It’s not fair!

calvin: hehe makes your blood boil hearing something degrading and completely untrue about Pinoys huh?

Our sarcasm is a bit vulgar and far-fetched, but do you see our point? Filipinos are unique, beautiful, a distinct culture within the Asian fabric of eastern philosophical thought and religion as well as traditions and customs. And..the most diverse and best looking people “in” that region! (bias)

Egypt is also in the continent of Africa. Do you consder Egyptians African tas the people of Nigeria, Congo and Zimbabwe?

Also, Mexico is part of the North American continent with the United States and Canada. When you talk of Mexico, do you think of this Spanish speaking nation as part of the North American culture or Latin American culture?

Second, would you as a filipino man, ever date or marry a pure black woman. We are taking a survey.

Asian means Chinese. Chinese means women are generally ugly and men have extremely small and embarassing penises.

Think about it. Chinese-Filipino men give the true Filipino man a very bad reputation in the lovemaking department.

That is the joke. Filipino men are the most endowed of Asia, and can take care of a woman by his passionate foreplay. Yes, they can make a woman eyes pop out during ecstacy, of any color or nationality.
