so one of my biggest gripes with filipino-ism and all this knowledge that i'm trying to possess is that well i don't like being exclusive. i'm not the type to shout "PINAY PRIDE" that's just not how i perceive it. quite frankly, i'm just trying to understand filipino to understand myself. if i can't understand myself, i can't expect to understand others. appreciating the uniqueness as well as the interdepence that exists among cultures is what i'm most concerned with.

filipinoism is my reference point. it is where i begin my journey to understanding different ethnic cultures. i honestly can't proclaim filipino pride, pinay pride, holla at ya pinay. that's just not how i do it. one thing that i'd like to see however is just more education about the culture. i want to embody everything there is to this to fully understand and comprehend why my heritage is so important in my life.

i grew up knowingly filipino, rejecting filipino, accepting filipino, and now i'm just trying to acquire filipino.

again, i don't like the thought of exclusiveness.

understanding my roots is my first step to understanding others.

my search goes beyond roots.

at the same time i'd like to see some recognition for the efforts of filipinos (veterans, olympians, inventors, union laborers, etc.)

sitting here.
waiting for a drop of inspiration
to get my mind tinkering with a creation
of thoughts and words
utilized to put it into verbs

when i was young i used to cultivate my words that just could not have been sung. didn't understand what i needed to be understood 'bout growing up to preserve the livelihood.


i love you for your intellect
JUST want to get into your mind,dissect
a piece so we can have a dialect
about the social construction that created this entity
called you and me.

i want to shake the earth's ground with our words unbound by scholarly figures
leaving them in a state of confusion
wondering about our ability of diffusion
a language only spoken by two minds in unison

the power of your words
still hold me tight to roots of the universe
overpowering me with no thoughts aversed
you not understanding how you've captivated me, captured me with your vernacular of Diversified appreciation for human kind
