Last day of winter...
I'm surprised that it snowed today. Of course, I was not the only one. It was kinda nice to get another white winter day. I'm not sure I'm ready for the summer. You get sweaty, icky, and dark. Hmm..I need to speed up the buffing process...lol. Gotta look good for the summer of course.

i'm all hilary these days listening to her new cd. it's actually quite good. easy to listen to, upbeat, and different. i wish for her next cd she would combine the styles of her two cds metamorphosis and dignity.

Dear Zoozoo...
Dear Zoozoo,

Since you commented about having a bit more non-asian in my blogs I'd like to take this opportunity to enlighten you about the American life of this Asian boy. This blog is dedicated to you... :)

1. I own a Circuit membership card which I acquired for those Sunday Latin nights I attend and where I learned how to dance Cumbia (sorry if misspelled). I already learned beginning Salsa since college.

2. My hubby is white. He's not as tall a godzilla and he doesn't have long eyelashes to swat flies with. I actually don't talk in my language about him.

3. I do not know karate. I do not carry a samurai with me. I also do not know how to easily climb a bamboo tree.

4. Last Saturday I just attended a Rice and Potato party...lol

5. I go to sidetracks frequently.

6. I am fluent in English and even speak too much in English sometimes around my Filipino friends that it makes their noses (ears for non-Filipinos) bleed.

7. I don't walk five steps behind my hubby and I speak freely.

8. Although I don't drink a Soy Latte with a double shote, I do have a Venti Mocha Frapuccino. I'd take yoga and pilates but I already spend enough time at the gym.

9. I do not own a Barong tagalog and I wear a tie at work.

10. I do not have the Last Supper painting on my dining room wall. I do not own extremely large wooden spoon and fork that would be hung up my wall.

11. Although I do not think Uncle Ben's Rice is the rice of my people and Wendy's Madarin Chicken Salad is the salad of my people I still consume them.

Of course, I am being facetious.

Peace and adobo grease!
~A-ray

We didn't have a Last Supper painting on our wall when I was a kid. It was more of a woven tapestry that hung next to the Weapons of Moroland plaque. Now THAT'S Filipino.

Sports
Sunday was bowling night. I have not played for a long time and I sucked. My forearm was sore up to today (nothing but gym will cure this..hehehehe) The group went out plus my hubby (the token white boy)..heheh. Oi my back was sore that day.

Tuesday was Volleyball. These are members of SenAsian mix, Asian Invasion, and Gaysha. Fun fun fun.

My hubby just left morning of Tuesday to MN. He lives there. I miss him already....

I don't do all Asian things and there is not an "Asian thing". Most of my close friends are Asians...Filipinos to be exact. The activities I have mentioned can and do involve others but I just prefer to mention what's "closer" to me.
It does not mean I do not have friends who are non-Asians. Most of the people I play volleyball with and non-Asians. Most of the people I play badminton with are non-Filipinos. My friends at work are all white. Now, to me, it even seems funnier because my Filipino friends tease me sometimes, calling me AMBOY (American Boy) for not being Asian/Filipino enough. I also think since all the other blogs feature mostly non-asians, I'd rather go at it with this blog this way. It is my life after all. :)

My parents don't have racial issues IF that's what you're implying. And I be with anyone I want. I'm an "equal opportunity."

I would not know how to categorize him since I don't know what all those mean. And obviously, he's one non-Asian I do....LMAO!!!

Also, I used to be a frequent guess at Circuit every Sunday (hello...latin night). I even have a membership card. I do not know any other Asian who has one.
Guess this...
This is from my favorite film. Read it and tell me if you know where it's from. Feel free to tell me if you loved or hated it.

You are my first love
You shall always remain so
I compose you
I recreate you
I bring you to life
I kill you
I resuscitate you
And I miss you
I miss your eyes

Your skin
Your mark
My lips stumble on you
For they have lost the habit
My hands reach out in the hope of your return
And I feel nothing but tears
I love you
And I shall wait for you forever


I think what's great about this is the simplicity of the sentences. But when it was read in the film it had so much impact on me. These days we enjoy stories of love and how love is powerful, how it's unconditional, how it's painful, how it's risky. But all that is gone now. These days love seems to be measured...measured by time, measured by money, measured by beauty, and measured by security.

Forever I will think that love is given and never taken. It is given without any expectation of it's return. It cannot be measured. It cannot have conditions. That's just me.
