Class started already and I am being very bad cause I am still contimplating whether or not I should go. But thinking about it, I think I am going. I'm just going to check it out and see what's up...

BTW, I chose to write a poem (If You Want To Know...) and I am going to recite it on Friday...

If You Want To Know


If you want to know I am Pilipino with a “P”, not an “F”.
If you want to know I am Pinoy.
If you want to know my mother is Waray and my father is Ilocano.
If you want to know I am proud of my brown skin.
If you want to know I am from the “Pearl Of The Orient”.
If you want to know I am an old immigrant.
If you want to know I am a new citizen.
If you want to know I am a FOB.
If you want to know I speak English without an accent.
If you want to know it’s simple just ask me.

I wrote the following because i wanted to answer some of the questions that most people are inquiring about me. Some people don't really know who I am. People tend to talk about the person, but they don't know the whole entire story. Do not assume because it only creates problems. If a person wants to know, do not talk about the person as if you have known them and know about them from a second source. If you want to know....it is very simple just ask me because I will give you an answer.

Rolling The R's


I just recently finished reading Rolling the R's and I did not what to make of the book. I like some of stories in the book and was a bit lost with the language they were speaking. They were using pidgin language. So here's the dilemma: I am suppose to write a skit, but I can't seem to come up with any ideas that I can relate the skit iwth the story of the book. Has anyone read the book? If so, let me know cause I sure would like some help with the creation of the skit.

For the next three weeks, I will be one insane and crazy ass fool. I am going to be very busy with school. Since everything is due a week before and a week after Thanksgiving break. I realized that I have been lagging this semester really bad. I haven't been on top of things like I usually am. Last semester I was very much on top and making sure that everything was set and done. This time, I haven't even started on my papers. One paper is due next week (compare and contrast two books written by an Asian American author). Along with the paper (same class), I have to memorize and recite a piece. I don't have time to memorize anything because I am busy with my other classes, especially my F/Pilipino Lit class. The other paper is for my Chinese In America class and I was suppose to do some research and write a paper on whatever tope I choose to do. I have my topic:Chinese American or Chinese soldiers during World War II. I have to research what they did, who were the Chinese and Chinese American soldiers and so on...After that paper is due, I also have another paper due for my Vietnamese In America class. This paper is a group paper, but we haven't really made much progress. I hoping that I can pull myself together and have the motivation that I once had and use all my energy to work on my papers and projects. This semester I haven't been feeling school. I would rather work and then go home and rest. Physically, mentally, and emotionally, I am very tired. I don't really know if my seasonal change disorder is kicking my ass or I am just not motivated at all. It seems as if I didn't even care about school. Also, the fact that I have gone through so much this year (Long Story). It's very hard for me to concentrate. Stress is going to kill me!

Sound In The Midst Of Silence Pt. 2

The music of my words
Penetrate your ears
But you can not hear
what I am saying
Sound created by a force
uniquely combines with a source
of silence
An image is create
but the vision is blurry
nothing to see
Lost in the harmonies
of sound
never knowing the
truth
Blame only one person
YOU

Later!
