You’d think that with all the typhoons that brought death and destruction to the Philippines, sending love overseas to America would be the last thing on a Filipino’s mind.
Not in our case. Two very important people in our lives sent us some things we miss from Manila.
That’s how Filipinos love.

We started watching So You Think You Can Dance when it was in its third season. The one where Sabra won. We’ve been hooked ever since. We cheered Joshua on in season 4 and were a bit disappointed Brandon lost to Janine in season 5. We’re dance fans for another reason of course, but I digress.
So of course we watched the auditions for season 6 and were just as nervous about the Choosing of the 20 as the contestants were. Okay, maybe not as nervous. I’m always trying to find Filipino faces on TV and am generally happy to see Asians. So last night, I think I spied one who didn’t make it into the esteemed 20—a guy with the last name “Dumlao”— and I think one who did.
There’s nothin’ like hangin’ out with fellow Filipinos to bring out our real selves.
We were mostly strangers at this birthday party–the celebrator and her roommate being our common denominator–but when you put a group of Filipinos together, we manage to be a cacophony of chatter and laughter, like long lost family or friends, regardless of introductions.

I had minor surgery the other day and have yet to blog about that and share pictures from Kyera’s driving test. Just posting this quick note to share that one of the blogs was re-published on the website – PinoyCentric.com. You can find it here.
I’m back from outerspace. Or shall I say, “earth-dwelling”, in the words of my Twitter friend, Kevin M. Keating. That’s not entirely true though since I have been finding the time to update my other blogs. Mea culpa.
I’m still in the process of defining what it is I want to say here on my WordPress. I revamped my categories to free me from my self-imposed restrictions. Out of all the blogs I maintain, I feel that here is where I want to be the most “serious”. Then again, one should not take oneself too seriously. Life is too short.
Before I jump back into The Radio Files series that was rudely interrupted by life and work, there’s one topic I wanted to go off on. Countless blogs from the Philippines and Filipinos all over the globe have contributed to the space in cyberspace labelled “Malu Fernandez Hatred“. I wanted to put my two centavo thoughts into the fray.
