baked Japanese sweet potato, "yaki-imo" in

As a
society, there are really three blending elements in
the Philippines: the Sundadonts, the Sinodonts, and the Caucasoids. My
family is
such a
blend. Mongoloids really comprise three variants: the Sundadonts, the Sinodonts, and the Super-Sinodonts, these respectively being the Pacific Islanders, the East Asians, and the Amerindians of
the Americas. The Filipino Caucasoid element is
commonly Mediterranean. There are four human subspecies in my
preferred model of
anthropology: the Mongoloids, the Caucasoids, the Negroids, and the Australoids. Caucasoid has variants Nordic and Mediterranean; Negroid has variants Congoid and Capoid; and Australoid has variants Veddoid, Negrito, Papuan, Melanesian, and Aborigine. Migrants into the Philippines might have carried various bits of
other strains. For example, Super-Sinodonts, Amerindians, might have reached the Philippines with the Manila-Acapulco Galleons during the Spanish Empire.

Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he

shall be to

- It is the 14th of October of 2012. It is about 04:20, morning. As I listen to native Paraguayan music on Radio Cultura from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I am reminded that for many Latin Americans and Western Europeans, the preference is the fantasy genre and less so of sci-fi. Reading sci-fi requires much science education, which only a minority everywhere in the world has. It is true that I cannot let go of sci-fi because it has become part of who I am throughout the ages. Sci-fi and fantasy are brothers, and both shelter in the umbrella called "speculative fiction." For me, the effect of being exposed to religious ideas is similar to exposure to fantasy genre literature or other media. Religion and fantasy have the same effect.
- ➡️ 呢個係2012年10月14號。大約係04:20，朝早，當我喺阿根廷布宜諾斯艾利斯嘅 Radio Cultura 聽緊巴拉圭嘅原住民音樂，我諗起，對於好多拉丁美洲人同西歐人嚟講，佢哋嘅偏好係奇幻類型，而唔係科幻小說科幻，因為佢已經成為咗我嘅一部分，科幻同奇幻係兄弟，而且兩者都喺一個叫做「投機小說」嘅雨遮之下，對我嚟講，接觸宗教思想嘅效果同接觸奇幻文學或者其他媒體嘅效果相似。

- ➡️ 作為一個社會，菲律賓真係有三個混合元素：桑達頓人、中國人同高加索人。我屋企人係噉嘅混合體。蒙古人真係由三個變種組成埋：桑達牙人、中牙人同超級中牙人，呢啲分別係太平洋島民、東亞人同美洲嘅美洲印第安人。菲律賓高加索人嘅元素通常係地中海嘅。我最鍾意嘅人類學模型入面有四個人類亞種：蒙古人、高加索人、黑人同澳洲人。高加索人有北歐同地中海嘅變種；黑色有變種剛型同卡皮；同埋澳洲人有維多人、內格里托人、巴布亞人、美拉尼西亞人同原住民嘅變種。入到菲律賓嘅移民可能會攜帶咗各種其他菌株。例如，超級中齒獸，美洲印第安人，可能喺西班牙帝國時期同馬尼拉 - 阿卡普爾科大帆船一齊到達菲律賓。

was a
rainy, somber day. At
the cafe, I
found the only open spot at a
table near the washroom. There, I
drank my
iced green tea. At a
table beyond mine was a
blond student with big biceps with tattoos. Hans the Netherlander rolled in
with his wheelchair. I
joined him at
another table. There, we
discussed multibillionaires: Elon Musk's space technology and Bill Gates' medical technology. Then, we
discussed the Yucatan. I
said that I
have been to
the temples at
Tulum, near a
cliff overlooking a
white sandy beach, looking like a
science fiction set. The other day, he
mentioned that Netherlanders ate eel. I
suggested that he
try the "unagi donburi," sweet glazed eel on
rice, at
the nearby Japanese restaurant.

In
the beginning of
the twentieth century, the Philippine elite started switching from Spanish to
English as
the archipelagic elitist language, especially in
written form, as a
consequence of
the Spanish-American War in 1898.
Meanwhile, indigenous languages have continued to be
the aural-oral mainstay, with Spanish loanwords being quite common. In 1937,
administration chose Tagalog as
the basis of
the national language. As
time passed, code-switching between English and indigenous languages became more prevalent. As a
result, the Philippines is a
linguistic hodgepodge. English is
like an
effervescent pink drink, and Tagalog is a
grey shark in
the seas. Spanish still rings nostalgically of
bygone majestic good ol'
days for many Filipinos. Tagalog is
still not as
fully "intellectualized" as
its cousin Indonesian, which Indonesians use in
university-level education and has extensive literature.

talked about travelling around this world, as I

our conversation was about my

Avoid literal word-for-word translation when dealing with 喺20世紀初，菲律賓精英開始由西班牙文轉為英文作為群島精英語言，特別係以書面形式，係1898年西班牙 - 美國戰爭嘅結果。同時，土著語言仍然係聽覺嘅支柱，而西班牙文嘅借詞係相當普遍嘅，因為喺1937年，政府選擇咗呢個國家語言英文同土著語言之間嘅關係變得更加普遍。結果，菲律賓係一個語言上嘅大雜燴，英文就好似一種泡沫粉紅色嘅飲品，而塔加洛文就係海洋入面嘅灰鯊，對於好多菲律賓人嚟講，塔加洛文仍然唔會好似佢嘅表哥咁完全「智慧化」。.
