When I was a kid at about 5 or 6 I asked my mom what being gay meant. Now my mother is an immigrant from the Philippines so her English wasn't as good as it is now. So her explanation was "A gay man is a man born with a woman's heart" and honestly that is the most adorable way to explain to a 5 year old when you don't speak English.

so there's this post that talks about how people call jason's curved knife a kris but it's not a kris 'cuz why would he have a southeast asian knife? and op's tags say if you're gonna give him an 'exotic' weapon at least make him malay or something. a later reblog adds a filipino kris as an example, and then i was like, 'omg, jason in a barong tho.' SO i tried designing a bat-barong inspired by his hood logo, for a filipino jason haha. and now here we are! 😊✨️🇵🇭

that thing you do when you're forced to share chips with your siblings but your pride won't let you so you grip the bag in between the bag opening and the chips inside so they can't get them

Being Filipino and poor is taking a hot dog out of the fridge, cooking up some rice, cooking the hot dog, and chopping it up over the rice and soy sauce and calling it a meal.

i love erika’s character choice for this season bec i too think it would be cathartic to tap into my genetic potential to be an unhinged asian grandma.

anyways now that I'm back on this site, let it be well fucking known that this filipino musical theatre rambler absolutely abhors the Here Lies Love musical and I am absolutely ashamed that it is gonna be known as the first Broadway musical with an all-filipino/fil-am cast BECAUSE GLORIFYING A PERSON (imelda marcos) INVOLVED IN A CONJUGAL DICTATORSHIP (wife of ferdinand marcos) THAT CAUSED HUNDREDS OF DEATHS AND AN ECONOMIC CRISIS DUE TO ILLEGALLY ACCUMULATED WEALTH FROM PHILIPPINE TAXES ESPECIALLY WHILE SAID PERSON IS STILL ALIVE WITH HER SON (ferdinand "bongbong" marcos jr) BACK IN POWER IS ALL SORTS OF WRONG
