The Filipina Mestiza

What the heck is a "mestiza" you ask? The quick and dirty answer: It's the feminine version of mestizo which, to my limited cultural knowledge, is used in a general sense to describe other Filipinos of 'mixed blood' or mixed heritage.  My being half Chinese, half Filipino automatically qualifies me.

I might be Filipina by blood, but I don't speak a lick of Tagalog or have the guts to eat balut ever again. I do observe our customs and like all Filipinos, have an addiction to Filipino food desserts.  Mmm, sugar.  Ask my mom or any one of my Titas...I'll down leche flan by the truck load, and probably have a coronary before I turn 40.

I'm more interesting online than I am in person since, like the stereotype goes, I'm a quiet person...usually. I do have my moments.  Although, since this is my 3rd blog site, obviously I'm not very good at keeping up with my own thoughts.  Hopefully this time around it's more active.
