I'm from the Philippines and I'm a Pinay! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Glad to see someone finally started a topic like this. I left the Flips [short for Philippines] when I was 9, and right now i'm 13 [almost 5 years now!]. The last time I visited the Flips was in December to spend Christmas with my family. BTW: What regions of the Flips are you from: Neferchoirwen and Amarinth? BBTW: Some of my cousins are 1/2 Chinese and 1/2 Filipino |

Wow! Japan! I want to go there someday, well let me know how it goes. BTW: I'm from the Northern region: Baguio --it's a bit cooler there than Manila where some of my relatives still live |

ingkling elf, i sure hope my niece gets tolkien-mania from me, counting on the genes i am [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]. nice to know you're a book worm [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] i mean many of my younger relatives don't read too much but spend huge amounts of time playing pc games and the like. that considering i'm from the third world, eh; this must be a lot truer in the technologically advanced first world, methinks. you and your cousins are a special breed, my friend [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] hey and baguio, wow, cool! your folks just had the flower festival (panagbenga) last february...

Nevvasaiel, I am Mandarin, but I don't speak it, nor do I speak Cantonese or any other Chinese type dialect. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I am an ABC (American Born Chinese), and my parents never taught me or anything... so... yeah. So sad. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

BethoHOG and LadyElbereth....
it's never too late to learn!!!! of course, not pushing you to or anything... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] but imagine how much more easily you could converse with people if you ever visited Asia! i have quite a lot of asian friends in the US and Canada who can't speak the language of their parents, or if they can, not very well. it's sad, yes, but it happens here too... lots of people who can't speak their native tongue very well in their attempts to be more american!

I am a Filipina too! I'm from Cavite, but lately I'm always in Quezon City because I study in Philippine Science High School and I live in its dormitory. Anyone familiar with it?

Technically I'm Asian, too. I was born in India, but moved to the US when I was 4 or 5, and I've been here ever since. Thankfully, I'm not too much of an ABCD (American Born Confused Desi (Desi = Indian)), but I'm not as Indian as my parents would like me to be.

Wow! I knew this was a great site [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I've lived in America my whole life, but both my parents are Taiwanese. My mom speaks Hakka and Mandarin, my dad speaks a Taiwanese dialect (not sure which one) and Mandarin, and unfortunately, I can only speak a bit of Mandarin- I can get along fine in a casual conversation, and my accent is better than a Caucasian's would be, since I've grown up speaking and hearing Chinese, but otherwise, I'm at a bit of a loss when it comes to communicating in Chinese with people my own age (ie: high school students) or older.

I'm 100% Indian and I speak my language (Malayalam) better than I speak English, though I live in the UK now. Anyone else from Kerala, South India?
