I hate the spanish some of my people are just confused who they are we're asian we're not some taco eaters we should live the way we always have before the spanish came to our land, I mean we have live as we always have even when the spanish came but of course they weren't just there to colonize they were there to steal our gold and erase our past.
@XBoxLiveissoboring We were actually on our way to modernizing ourselves, you are on your way to finding out a lot about your ancestors, but your ancestors were so vital to the whole of Asia, especially Japan in trade, when the Luzon Empire/Kingdom of Tondo vanished because of the Spanish, it dealt a major blow, not many people know this either, but Hideyoshi Toyotomi sent a letter telling the spaniards basically "leave maynila or face full Japanese invasion".
@XBoxLiveissoboring This was going to happen but of coure, he sent this during the hardship and also it was near his death when this happened, he was facing too many difficulties, and many of the Japanese apparently did not like his maritime affairs, because of other problems they faced, most likely such as failed invasions, but apparently, he also did not care, the Japanese and the Filipino people used to be best buds dude... Even best buds with Mexico, but Spain ruined that relationship...
@cnhsmcl there is a heavy traffic is more preferable. if u say traffic jam meaning its not moving. heavy traffic simply means there are more vehicle on the roads. haha. although traffic = traffic jam in philippines and its just ok. even american and brtiish english have differences.
Wow these are the very streets that used to be my stomping ground way back in the days and yet i dont recornize any of it, thats sad i guess i need to reconnect with my roots. 30 years been loooooong time...
@demarcjw I might have to go over and oversee some training..we are outsourcing some of our telephone agents yeah.. I guess that happens a lot there does it?
yup, that does happen a lot. as a matter of fact, I used to work for a call center company and we do have trainers from other centers outside the country come here to oversee training. man your job sounds like it's really fun.
I remember driving there everyday heading to Ortigas, our house is in Ortega St. San Juan. We go ballroom dancing there in Lancaster Hotel. I miss our home in the Philippines...
I went back to Manila in 2006 to spend Christmas and New Year's Eve after a number of years living in the US. Planning to return again in Dec 2010. Btw, I like the music in the background. I bought that CD on my last visit. :-)
wow, a good way for an 18 year old from Mexico to show respect for the elderly. Is that how your parents brought you up as a kid? Looks like a jungle upbringing then. lol
