I'm a Chinese born and raised in the Philippines. I am very much Filipino as I am Chinese. I understand Chinese but I speak Filipino as well. I go to a Christian church and I believe in God but I still attend my grandparents' Buddhist rituals. I celebrate Christmas and New Year but I also celebrate Chinese New Year. Oh and I love peking duck, dimsum, century egg and a whole lot of other Chinese food but I also can't get enough of Filipino adobo, sisig, palabok, tuyo, bagooing and of course, balut. Some people would ask me if I'm more Chinese or more Filipino. But who really cares? I don't believe in categories or races. I am who I am and I can be whoever I want to be. http://limebasil.blogspot.com
