They don't know a lick of it, and neither do my 3 step brothers and sisters, and their dad is mexican, and their mother (his ex wife) is a spanish teacher!!!lol You never can tell! Now my Irish American kids, speak better spanish then all of them, lol.. They start teaching them in kindergarden now in Florida! You just never know!

I'm Mexican American. Well, I'm 4th generation born in America, so pretty much just American. I'm not sure about my father's side because he has never been in my life. But I know for sure that I'm not full blooded Hispanic because my grandfather was part Mexican and Native American. Not Native enough to get any of the benefits that they get.

But yeah, people are always trying to speak Spanish to me. LoL. I understand enough to get the drift of what they are trying to say, but other than that, I'm completely clueless.

I know My language + the dialect, I know a little japanese, I know some Spanish, English, and soon maybe korean lol I can understand some .
I go to night school so I dont have to take extra classes next year and it's needed for nursing.
Guess what guys! I might join the YMCA basketball team. I seen their team before and to be honest, they suck and if I join....hmmm not gonna brag or anything, but were gonna kick ass haha.
So, since you are from the Phillippines you already knew English hun? What dialect do you speak? My step father is also Filipino and moved here around the same age you did. He's been trying to teach my mom and I his dialects for the past 12 years, but still there is only certain words I understand, plus the ones that sound like Spanish. So, no wonder you know some Spanish. Right now he is trying to teach me how to cook, so far I got adobo down.

Anyway, why do you refer yourself as Asian? I've know tons of Filipinos and they all get mad when someone calls them Asian, they prefer Pacific Islander.

hey guys! I'm back after a little wandering off time. I've been trying to get ready to move and, well, I fell off the wagon. I'm trying to climb back on, though. The damage isn't too great, just a 2 pound gain, but getting them to leave is proving hard.

I'm sure if I focus on eating better they'll fly away like all y'all's pounds have (great job on the losses everybody!!).

The one with the soup. My step-dad speaks Tagalog and Pangasinan (I think that's how you spell it) So far I got how to say manok (chicken) down! LoL. And a few other basic words. But I'm hopeless with foreign languages, lol when I took Spanish 1 in high school I failed it the first year . So, I think when I go back to school I'm going to take American Sign Language, hopefully that will count as a foreign language.

Thanks! Awesomely enough, I checked this morning and the two pounds were gone!! Woo hoo!!!

Yay!! The first loss in more than a month!

Woot!!

Also, today I read an article from an ex-running snob (you know, those people who look all sideways at walkers as they pass them) and found out that walking fast is way better for you than jogging is. There are several benefits, although I can't remember them right now. I'm sure you could find it on weightwatchers.com if you look. The point is, if you're out walking and a jogger shoots you a look, be triumphant that you have to create all your momentum with your muscles while they basically fall gracefully.

Well...Wednesday to Friday is enough time...apparently.

Maybe it was my kids' testing this week that made me lose... who knows!?!?!?!

I was jogging this week. Maybe that had some impact...
