Another journal after not coming on here for many years. I'm surprised I even remember the password my account! Anyways...

The other night I was watching a show called '!Q' Viva' and it's about starting a show in vegas that highlights the talent of the different latin american countries. It's a very interesting show and anything about different cultures always gets my attention. I was very impressed by the argentine groups called impacto malambo and remolino malambo. If you have any time, look them up on youtube. They will impress you.

Today is Monday and I am off work for the week to relax. I started off my Monday looking up songs I can play on my Ukulele and then got into looking up more about these two dance groups from '!Q'Viva'
I started to wonder what folk dance from El Salvador was like because I don't know much about El Salvador. Josh is Salvadorian and I have no knowledge on traditional Salvadorian dances or customs. I started looking up traditional clothing, foods, music etc..
So.... As I started learning.. I realized..... I don't know much about the Philippines!! I'm filipino and I know nothing. I don't know much of the language, foods, traditional clothes, folk dances etc.. Here comes wikipedia and surfing the web about all of what I don't know.
It actually makes me sad. I have 1 child and another on the way and I can't teach them about any of our cultures. I feel bad that I don't know enough to teach my kids about the philippines. I wish I can teach them how to speak the language and show them where my parents came from. I have to rely on Josh to teach them spanish and salvadorian traditions.
I now feel determined to learn and I'm hopeful that my parents can help teach my kids what I never learned when I was younger.
