Filipinos are good dancers. It’s like a law of nature.
Throwback: Mokenstef – He’s Mine
Nothing like a little nostalgia for Z104, hot and humid summers, and roller skates and bicycles with my no-longer-little sister.
Video Inspiration: Rachmaninoff Cello Sonata, Mvt. 4 (Lynn Harrell and Yuja Wang)
Perhaps I can double up my goals and aim to both play like this and look that hot in a slinky dress by our performance in November.
Slammed into a storm
We drove straight into the front edge of a particularly nasty storm on our way back into Rochester. I actually kind of miss heavy thunderstorms, Southern summer style, but the way these storms have been so far this year, I’ll stick to hoping that everybody stays safe from now on and send good wishes to Tornado Alley and Western MA. Short video of one of the more spectacular flashes (sorry about the vertical):
The Chinese* Mom’s Guide to Races
Having spent most of my life alternating between dating/crushing on black men and white men (never a full Asian), and now being married to a Costa Rican with pierced ears, my mother and I have had many… animated conversations about race relations in relationships involving a Chinese person. When people tell you there ain’t nobody more racist than a Hardass Asian Mom, you better believe that.
So what’s a Chinese-American daughter to do? Create an infographic, of course! My distillation of my mother’s order of preferences below. (And please God, I hope she doesn’t see this, because she might “be ashame.”) Oh, and disclaimer: I love my mom, but I didn’t grow up with her. My single Tiger Dad wasn’t so concerned with the race of my boyfriends so much as me having boyfriends at all.
