Jan 8, '07 4:45 AM
for everyone

Here are some of the photos I just...love.

These are some of the places I love, the people I've come across in them and couldn't resist taking a picture of, visions of beauty that just sooooo awed me I had to capture the moment and the little things that made me chuckle.

Oh, those are different CRAFTS (wooden decorative spoons, forks and busts; knitted sweaters, gloves, bonnets and scarves; earrings, necklaces, bracelets, wallets and many more) from Benguet, one of the coldest mountain regions north of the Philippines in Southeast Asia. Just this past December, these Benguet crafts were being sold at a flea market ("tiangge," as it is called in our native tongue) in the University of the Philippines Diliman found in Manila, the capital city where I live.

In our national language, Filipino, "apo" means "grandchild".

I'm of Filipino ancestry and you are of...? Ü

I'm of Chinese descent. "Apo' in one of our chinese dialects = great Aunt (one generation older than mother). A word in different language means different things...

I was surprised when jeniong described her maternal grandmother as 'Guama' because that's exactly what Chinese call our maternal grandma.

That's right...Filipinos and Chinese have been trading for ages and have been borrowing from each other's cultures as far as back the 8th century A.D. If you take a look at one of the books I reviewed on this site, "Memories of Philippine Kitchens", the authors devote an entire chapter even to Chinese influences on Filipino (or Pinoy, as we call it) foods.

Hi lianchye! I suggest you check out the philippine book "Tsinoy: The Story of the Chinese in Philippine Life" in your libraries or online bookstores there in Canada (?). It's bound to be interesting. You'll learn more about your culture as it interacts with and influences another Asian culture. Ü [I saw this book at the Ateneo de Manila University's Rizal library Special Collections just yesterday.]

sorry I wasn't aware of your comment.
I'm in Malaysia. I'll try to look out for the book here or maybe online. Thanks
