Another October has come and gone but this month, I took note pause and participated in things Filipino. We went to @filamfest in San Diego, ate Filipino Food, and my kids learned historical facts from me. Here's a visual for some of the things I told them: Mommy was born in the 🇵🇭 Philippines and her house had chickens. Mommy and others use 🌂 more for ☀️ days than ☔️ as it is too hot and and don't want to get tanned. No slippers inside the house ever, only outside. We played and bathed in the warm rain water. Coconut 🌴 🌴are plentiful and drinking them out of its shell is common. Pineapples 🍍 are common there too, along with mangos and jackfruit. We had these trees over our house. Mommy moved to the other side of the world 🌎 to a tiny apartment when she was 5. This was partly possible because of relatives that have and were serving in the US Navy. Mommy has been in the USA 🇺🇸 for over 30 years and now an American citizen. Mommy is blessed to be in America and an American with my Filipino heritage. It was here that I met your daddy from 🇲🇽 but we'll save that story for another day 😊. . . . #mystory #filipino #America #usa #navy #slippers #sunshine #coconut #world #immigrant #pineapple #chicken #umbrella #rain #Philippines #filipino #filipina #filipinoheritagemonth #filipinoheritage #filipinofood #filamfest #locketsncharms
