Merry Day After Christmas

"it's a small world": The happiest cruise
that ever sailed! Surreal and silly, or sweat
and touching, you are a well intentioned 1960s
homage to the world's diversity that
unfortunatly inspires feelings of sheer terror
in those who can't help but feel something more
sinister lays beneath your shiney surface. But
most cannot deny your charm, even if they
cannot explain it, and leave feeling better
than when they entered. Most overlook the fact
that because of your unique style and design,
courtesy of Disney Legend Mary Blair, you are a
true work of art and you deserve to be
appreciated. You are both worldy and
simplistic, both cosmopolitan and decidedly
middle American. You are a splendid
candy-coated contradiction with a sugary, sunny
song that one never forgets. If the world
truely listened to your never-ending optimism,
it could be a small world after all.

Merry Day After Christmas but might as well still be Christmas everyone! Hope everyone ate lots more because i sure did!

SO i definitely now know where i get my random singing of songs from...my aunt Aldara, grandmother, and I were doing that all day today while cookin and cleaning and whatnot for tonight's party. I sang along to the elvis songs and other sappy love songs that i knew...and when i wasn't i was singing disney and broadways songs (so what else is new)And no i didn't sing It's a small world, but i almost did....

My cousin Rashad and my uncle Hassen were conversing in French today..it was really interesting to listen to but it just sounds like a bunch of gibberish...i'm sure that's what i sound like though when i speak in Tagalog or Taglish...mostly taglish

That's something that i NEVER EVER want to lose..Tagalog or the little that i still know and remember is something that would be very hard to get back...English well bah that's everywhere...but how many people do you know that speaks Tagalog? My point exactly...besides..it's a part of who i am...makes me...me..It's really sad because my cousin Rashad does not know Tagalog..well i mean can't blame him..my aunt and uncle never spoke it around him..twas always french and english...French because first of all it's Canada...and because my uncle is from Mauritius and they speak French there...and English..well because it's easy..but i think that denies someone of knowing a part of himself... I have other cousins here in Canada and California..and even Maryland...they live where there are a lot of Filipinos and Filipino culture around them, yet they cannot speak or understand a word of Tagalog..at the same time...me in lil ole Jackson...don't get me wrong it's growing..just...i guess it makes me appreciate my culture more because i'm not around it ENOUGH..it makes me long for it...that's why i LOVE visiting big cities because i can get that and feel in touch....ok i'm getting toooo nationalistic...and rambly....but hey that's the beauty of blogging...So moral of the day...um..Don't ever forget how to speak your language...which would be... English...(muahaha)

Well i'm watching Miss Congeniality..and then off to bed so i can hit the slopes tomorrow! Nite everyone

Quote of the day: "What is the perfect date?"
