Do you know the words you use in Tagalog? Can't it be Korean, Japanese, Russian, or Italian... Why Filipino and English?" I asked wonderingly. Of course, I'm Filipino, I just happened to ask here.

It's... something only we know. _______________________________________ I will be writing this story in honor of my late grandmother, Valentina.

I say and noticed Chad staring at me from the corner of my eyes. They all looked surprised. "But you look like a Filipino. how is that possible" "My father and mother were both Philippines. They grew up here until dad got a huge contract to work abroad" I pause and stare at their faces "but their happiness was short lived when they both died in an accident.

I took a jeepney—kinda like a pick-up truck-slash-bus. There's kind of an unwritten rule for these things. If you're the only Westerner on the bus and the all the women and children get off, you get off too. But I was running late.

And here, in the firelight, with the woman I love more than anything and the future we have already begun creating, I know without any doubt that we have found our real fairy tale.

Lucas interfered. “How do you guys adjusted yourselves when you got here in the Philippines? our cultures are quite big to yours?” Joshua asked. I was amazed at him because he has the audacity to ask. “Well, let me answer first. Filipino is too friendly and hospitable. I remember the first time I got here in the Philippines.

I can see that Joshua is smiling and having a romantic excitement.
