salamat sa iyo pare. salamat din. Anytime we post to any newsgroup forum, blog etc... count on it being stored on a system and referenced in the future.The future migt be 500 years from now byt it may also be next week. My wife is Pilipina. We have four full frown boys in Medical School. One just grad UCLA. They were raised doing Mano po, three days a week speaking, thinking and responding in Tagalog, and three equally in English. My wife's parents live with us. They speak to te boys and my wife in educated UST style Tagalog. When I try to speak Tagalog to them her Father says, "You speak English, right? I respond Yes, English is my first Language. He then admonished me with a smile on his face, Please, speak English :). All I can say is smile and say, OK Po.:) We have a large garden in part of the back yard where they grow vegetables found normally only in the PI. They are from seeds brought here decades ago. We even have two large trees (Durian) in the back yard). The garden has bitter melon, several varieties of squash... its nice. My wifes mother wants to have a few pigs (for the lechon) and chickens. However, we live in the city and it is not allowed. That is how and why I am familiar with Tagalog. Ingat ka pare ko. Don
ahh kaya pala hehehehe Nice to know you better Don. You are very interesting. May I ask where and how did you meet your wife? hehehehe just curios :) do you have FB :)? I thought you serve your mission in P.I. that's why you know tagalog :) Ingat Don! Pasensya na sa mga nasabi ko...Regards ako sa iyong pamilya :)
We are gathering "ampalaya" right now to cook and can. We also have purple squash as well as other fruits and vegies not germain to the US. Before I found out this concealed information on the LDS Church I served a Mission in the California Oakland Mission. I speak my first language and my second language, Espanol / Spanish well... hopefully. That is not my decision but the decision of the listener as I speak. Her father encourages me to speak English...he says it with a smile. We all attend Mass as a family in Tagalog 2x a month and 2x a month in English. My personal preference is Missae Latinae / Latin Mass. Our four boys are adults now. When they were teenagers in Vegas they were caught sneaking out the window on a friday night to go to the clubs and hang around outside... You know the drill. I ask them to come back inside and sit down to talk. They thought they were going to get a guilt trip as well as be embarrassed. I hugged them, told them how much I loved them and to not crawl out the window as a sneaky child. When they exit/enter the house they do it with their heads up as young men. Not out the window as little chickens. I hugged them, gave them some money each, some condoms so I would not have some with bacterial infections from some strange drunk girl exiting a Vegas club. They were 16, 17, 19 and 20. Six feet tall, strong muscular German builds, brown hair and green eyes... a dangerous combination. :) And one that will create good memories for them in their later years as they now have families, children of their own and they still speak three days Tagalog, three days English. The grandkids can communicate with their grandparents and still do "opo". They used to sit in their grandparents lap and hear stories of "aswang / moo moo" :) about no electricity, cooking over open flames and tabo baths. It helps them to live a life being able to contrast their present life of ease and the price paid to get it for them. They take pride inside of who they are and where they are from, the PI and the USA. The boys used to ask me "...are we Americans or Pilipinos". We shared with them that they have the best of both worlds. People will look at an old man (me) and see an American. They will look at their Mom, Lola, Lolo and see a Pilipino. We do not have the freedom they have to cross cultures. They smiles and felt good inside. When they vis tht eir cousins, nephews, Aunts and Uncles in Manila they are able to communicate and almost totally fit in. The green eyes give them away and a lot of girls there like it. So, the discipline comes in handy and useful. We are proud of our sons. They are Catholic to the core of their spirit and being. They refer to their standards, morals and ethics as references to make decisions. Time, history, culture, and support of Jesus Christ and his traditional Church give them the strength to live productively. When they put us in the ground, they must move forward. They will have what they need. Pax Vobiscum. Don
