Kumusta Ka? (That's Tagalog for 'How Are You?')
Tonight is all about getting in touch with my heritage. I'm meeting my good friend Aldrin for some Filipino food at Krystal's, a Filipino restaurant in the East Village. He's bringing his friend Jaygee, also a homie. And what do we have in common other than being Filipino, we've all done productions of Miss Saigon! Ha Ha! They also have karaoke singing- which is a staple in every Filipino household and the main source of entertainment at any respectable Filipino party. I'm actually looking forward to that part, having found my inner karaoke voice in Indianapolis. Alas, will Filipinos forever be known for Lea Salonga, Imelda's shoes, and Miss Saigon?!?!?! Well actually, I was watching a Discovery Channel program on weird foods from around the world and they were doing a spotlight on the Phillies. Perhaps I'll have a chicken embryo or blood soup or another one of our "delicacies" to celebrate my Filipino pride. Ewwww, I think not!
