But... " Hello?"

Johnny smiled again, finally relieved that she got his point. He let go of her to offer his hand again for a shake. “Let's just repeat the introduction, but let's make it better this time.” “I am Johnny Geronimo. Sixteen years old and a freshman Philosophy student from the city.” •|• Illinoisdewriter •|• DICTIONARY * Tatay — refers to father or grandfather in Filipino; as for this chapter, it pertained to father. * Baile — refers to the gathering of people in the plaza to dance or socialize.

The Philippines is one of the Southeast Asian countries that have rich culture even before her husband's descendant conquers. The Binatbatan Festival traces its roots from the abel weaving industry of Vigan that existed even before the Spaniards came to colonize the Philippines. It comes from the word batbat, a pair of bamboo sticks used to separate cotton pods that come from a tall tree called kapas sanglay. The word "kapas" from kapas sanglay means "cotton" in Ilocano.

Megan could only make an unimpressed face in reply, though she saw it coming when she thought of joking about the idea. One thing to know about Filipinos (maybe even Asians in general) is that they don’t really move out of the house unless they’re completely comfortable doing so. Naturally, Filipino-Americans (often referred as Fil-Ams) are the exception to this rule. They apparently give no fucks and want to immediately move out of their respective homes. What horror.

Her tone reflected pride in her last statement. As Marius had hoped, we proceeded to the dining room for lunch. The spread on the table was delightful: Paksiw na Bangus, a savory Filipino dish made with milkfish marinated in vinegar, garlic, and spices, creating a delectable balance of sourness and richness. Accompanying it was Tortang Talong, an eggplant omelet, where grilled eggplants are dipped in beaten eggs and then fried to perfection. For dessert, we enjoyed Buko Pandan, a refreshing Filipino delicacy made with young coconut strips mixed with pandan-flavored gelatin, tapioca pearls, and sweetened cream.

Mathew didn't care anyway. "My secret." Philip said with a smile and they both laughed. "Anyway, this is Clara Hamilton, and Clara, this is Philip Cruz." Dr. Mathew said. "Nice to meet you," Clara said shaking hands with Philip. "And you too." Philip replied. "Ella es hermosa ¿no?" Dr. Matthew asked in Spanish because he knew that Clara couldn't understand it. In translation, he was asking Philip, if Clara was beautiful and Philip smiled. "You have a very good sense of humor, Dr. Mathew." Philip replied, determined not to let the old man's question get into his head. He didn't like cheating people so her had to answer in English so as avoid the question.

Liana: “How did you get here?” Aguilar asked, making me raise an eyebrow. “Do you want to know? Or are you merely asking to make conversation?” I asked, taking a bite of the strawberry that was set between us. “I am genuinely curious about the reason of why you hate me so much. You have been fighting nonstop, at least, so I have heard. You seem to be rather obedient.” He said, and I bit my bottom lip before picking up a grape and putting it between his lips, feeding it to him. He went to bite it, but I snatched half of it, making him smirk before he wrapped his arms around me, pulling me to straddle his lap.

I am not going to allow him to win, so I will pretend to be successful until I actually am. "Madam, you are being tremendously complimentary to me!" When Sonya gave me a little tap on the arms, I couldn't help but giggle at her. When they are delighted or excited, Filipinos have a strong tendency to smack the arms of another person. I don't know why this is the case. My best opinion is that it has something to do with the significant cultural differences.
