ohkei...the title is in Tagalog.. in English, that would mean: "Hey! I'm a Filipino!" I don't know why I had the sudden urge to write, though.. haha... Well.. Dies De Los Muertos just finished and while I was at the cemetary I grabbed a piece of paper and pen and started writing it down while my cousins and siblings were playing with the candles, sitting on the graves and well... playing poker. Enjoy! Whoever, do you think, points with his or her lips? Who eats with their hands -- right down to a technique! Who always has a piano no one ever plays? Who always offers food to anyone who stays? With useless H's inserted in already-too-long names, Like Vhon, and Wheng, and Thina and also, classic Jhames. Who always has an uncle or brother called "Boy"? With houses full of useless tinker toys? Who has Gian spoons and forks forevermore neglected? Who sleep on still plastic-covered beds? Who always has a potrait of Jesus' last supper? Who always says "Hoy!" instead of names of others? "Prijider" for "refridgerator" and "CR" for the loo "Ajinomoto" for any "Toyo" spice, too! Who was taugt to treat everyone like family, Filipinos, unique, with our owns style and vocabulary!
