We Filipinos eat with our hands, drive crazy on the road, point with our lips
@Jojo, Yes, I find myself being the same way that my mom was with me with my children! I lecture them about staying out of trouble, not having kids, doing your chores, all of that! I find myself saying a lot of the things my mom used to say! And doing a lot of the things she used to do. :)— March 7, 2010 12:30 p.m.

I am a Mestiza, Raised solely by my filipina mother here in South East San Diego. Yes as a child I didn't understand why she was so strict while my other non filipino friends had more freedom. Now as an adult and have children I totally understand what she was trying to instill in me. She just wanted us to be sucessful and able to take care of our families, which includes, mother, father, grand parents aunts and uncles. She wanted me to be responsible Even though sometimes the lesson came with a pinch on the back of the arm or an ear twist, I got the message! LOL!!! I am grateful for my heritage and love and miss her dearly. Mahal Kita Mommy!— March 7, 2010 12:23 p.m.
