Okay, one more post of startling revalations (stop snickering!) before I go off to bed.

First off, in the newest issue of Filipinas, there are two rather interesting articles I found. First, there was one about how use filipinos are everywhere (a major understatement). The editorial describes an instance in the author's travels in Mersailles(sp) where she met a filipino who has been the nanny of a french family for five years. Later, she goes on to say that, no matter where the filipinos go, they never lose their "pinoy-ness." And as evidence, she points out that on every filipino's table is a bottle of patis (salty fish sauce), and a bottle of soy sauce... scary thing is, damn she's right! @_@ So, after reading that slightly disturbing thing, I rummaged through my old emails and found the one my cousin sent me way back when; a list of "You know you're pinoy if...". My personal favorite is "You know you're pinoy if Goldilocks is more than just a fairytale." LOL! That was hilarious! For those who don't know, Goldilocks is a rather large bakery company in the Philippines... and they make one hell of a pandesal, that's all I gotta say. ^_^ Another anecdote I discovered was a series of FOB pronounciation jokes. For instance, filipinos tend to pronouce the "f" sound like a "p" and squeeze "ish" into "is". Ergo, the line "Finish your homework" turns into "Penis your homework." LOL! I had the whole family cracking up at the dinner table when I told that one!

The other article I read was one of one of the major contributors who helped make the magazine possible; a gay pinoy and his hubby of 25 years! He was dead right that the fact that they've been together for that long was more unusual than them being gay. I hope that someday I'll be able to love that strongly and have my feelings reciprocated from my partner. It really must be hard staying together for that long.

I absolutely love Color's outfits in the "One and Only" video! And the lead singer has a very unique voice that I find really... erm, unique. Bottom line, they're good!

Yeesh! All I need now is to say something about art and I'll have everything in this one post. o.0 Adieu!
