I want to go check out the Philippines some day. Maybe visit that one island with the Stone Age tribe.

I was born at UCLA and I'm a terrible Filipino. In that generation you wanted to be as Americanized as possible. She picked a Playboy Playmate's name for me as a quintessential American girl and refused to teach me Tagalog.
Now she sighs at me when I sit with her Filipino mafia. But I've worked since 13 and will work until I die, so I'm a good enough Filipino. And of course totally lovable.
