SHIKIMIKIE

Say hi to my new dog. I named him Shiki right away. Mom wanted to name him differently (Balbon, Pulgoso, etc.) because she said that people might get confused and all that stuff. She also said that I looked at her when she actually called Shiki, not "Mikie" (my name). No regrets! Haha

He's 2 months old now and I got him from my Uncle Benjie who got it from his boss. Shiki is an Old English Sheep Dog. He's really very sweet and yeah, very jolly and hyper. I really hope he'd grow up well and healthy.

So why is he not a Filipino again? I just don't see the point of not calling him a Filipino. Well, actually, it's alright not to call him a Filipino. Just not call him "not a Filipino" get it? Now I feel like I'm Phil Younghusband's public lawyer. HAHA. I just don't get it. Looks? Maybe. But even so, I think that's an insult. That's like a big word. And it's annoying. Now, if they're talking about the attitude, what really is a Filipino?  Someone who what? What specifically do we do that we didn't adapt somewhere else? Or  do they still wear bahag or baro't saya? Do they still do anything that's uniquely theirs? NO! Don't even get me started.

Then they complain that Filipinos are being treated differently abroad. I'm not saying that's just and right but what do you expect? If "actual Filipinos" are not being treated the same here? It's very ironic how they have the guts to complain somewhere else. It's really annoying.

I don't actually think that Filipinos are "oh-so-proud" that they are Filipinos. I just noticed that whenever there's a variety show and you have to cite where you're from, Filipinos are so proud to say where they've been. Like, for example:
