Ya viajé a Las Islas Filipinas casi 10 años pasados, ahora creo que ya es tiempo para volver y visitar mis parientes. Tambien quiero viajar a España, quizas yo podría aprender mas de mi cultura. Siempre escucho a personas que argumentan que los españoles abusaban a los filipinos y la idioma no pertenece a las islas. Tambien todos argumentan que si los filipinos son “islanders” o son chinos o latinos. A mi no me importa las politicas de la situacion.
Ok, so we just ordered pay per view to watch the Pacquiao vs. Marquez fight and its probably not going to start for another 2 hours or so. I’m totally rooting for Pacquiao since I truly honestly believe that he’s the only talent to come from las Filipinas in most recent times. I say las filipinas because its easier to type than PHILIPPINES. Where does that come from? Isn’t the whole PH sound thing come from Greek, which I guess English uses? Ok so anyway, I got to thinking about how I’ve heard people debate about whether Filipinos are asain, pacific islanders, latinos, espanoles. OMG who gives an eff? Seriously, people really do waste their time debating whether Spanish should become the official language again, and then they go on about colonization, spanish surnames, chavacanos, and every latin american country, and then on and on about the abuse of the Spanish empire and la dee fricken da. It’s like there’s no middle ground with Filipino culture, yet somehow people still find an agenda. They hate on the whole Spanish colonization, when the very name they call themselves- Filipino is spanish! Like really, ” I’m proud to be pilipino, epp dee spanish” should be an oxymoron. Oh yeah, and Jose Rizal-I mean Dr. José Protasio Rizal-Mercado y Alonso-Realonda wrote everything in Spanish and Tagalog, and his entire entourage was guys named ‘Emilio hernandez fernandez martinez marquez guiterres lopez mariano humberto roberto alejandro diaz martez reyes rios ljsfoaiwroisjf’.
Ok, so basically I have no idea what to say when I say I’m filipino, because its seems so watered down to me, and filipino culture is so effing ethnocentristic when their entire culture is based off of 237394823094234 other cultures.
But pretty much, I don’t give an EFF about who raped who and this and that. The culture I know now is a whole combination of 2394723904 other cultures, and its about time everyone quit dividing themselves because of this race or that race and blah blah blah. I wanna go to Spain so I can practice speaking more spanish because I live in effing southern california and I need to know how to talk with pretty much everyone, and I want to learn Portuguese because I wanna be able to talk to people who speak portuguese, and I want to learn french so I can speak to people who speak french, and I want to learn farsi so I can talk to my afghan family, yeah I want to learn all these languages so that I don’t become disconnected with the WORLD, el mundo! People, quit arguing over which people is better, because you’re just creating more division in the one race that truly matters, THE HUMAN RACE. Viva vida.
OMG I love everyone of every color of every heritage- ok well maybe not the Russians, HAHAHAHAHAHHAAH ok ok ok no really peace and love.
