Mano Po 6

Since I have nothing to do here in Naga, I was able to watch Mano Po 6 and I Love YOu, Goodbye the other day!! wohhooo!! I know. I'm JOLOGS!! So BOO me!! It's not like I really care.

Trust me, except for Mano Po 2 which I loved because our family was medyo can relate much, I hated all the other Mano Po's!! SUPER!! Parang ano ba toh?!? But Mano Po 6? whoa!! I kinda loved it. and No! It's not because I'm can relate much nanaman!!

I liked Mano Po 6 because it brought the limelight to the lives of Filipino-Chinese in the country. Yes, I am one. So somehow, I was can relate much pala!! I loved it when they asked "pano kung magkakaanak na kami, paano ko papalakihin ang mga bata? Bilang Chinese o Pilipino" and the mom said, "bilang tao." I loved it. I loved it. And oh, need I say it again??

While watching the movie I was thinking "yeah.. so true!" I mean, c'mon people what's the deal with Chinese people and half-Chinese people? In my opinion, having grown up in a family exposed to both cultures, neither is really superior! There are things I loved about the Filipino family (but papa's family is not really the practicing type coz' dada is half-Spanish eh..) and there are also things I loved about being Chinese!! Like what I said in my GBF essay a few months ago, these cultures.. when studied and practiced, can form a very beautiful culture which we can practice here in our beloved country.

I used to ask myself the same question. Do I want to marry a Filipino? A Chinese? Or a Fil-CHi also like me? I have always believed that if I marry a Filipino, as in pure blood Filipino, baka maloka ako sa cultural practices!! coz' frankly, nababaduy-an ako sa iba! Pag Chinese naman, I might be criticized and helloh!! some practices, di ko din kinakaya!! Pag Fil-Chi., baka ok na din coz then more or less, pareho kami ng pagpapalaki.. but after watching the movie, who cares right?!? all that matters nalang talaga pala is LOVE, LOVE, and more LOVE!!

I lovett!!
