October is Pinoy History Month because some Pinoys needed to take a
piss break at Morro Bay, California...

[spivak]

greetings,

i'm a grad student trying desperately to finish my ph.d. but also
finding great ways to distract myself online. born in makati, grew up
in the bay area, got my b.a. at brooklyn college, grad school at
minnesota, and now here in san diego trying to find my way.

i go by harrod, which despite how unique that is, is a step up from
archipelago, which i was this close to being named. i could go by
archie, i guess, but archipelago, sheesh. my okp name is spivak like
the postcolonial theorist.

my research looks at philippine history and filipino american
literature. (you can probably tell i'm a grad student from my tiresome
ramblings online. lol.)

sige na,
spivak

hey all,

my name's chris, but my friends call me chin and my all of my family
(cousins, aunts uncles) call me kuya. from toronto - actually a
suburb of toronto named mississauga. we've got a pretty big Filipino
community here. when i was in highschool, we were 50% strong.
there's at least three Filipino basketball leagues in the city. born
to Filipino immigrants... currently working in the IT dept of a
pharmaceutical company.

i don't eat pork (gave it up to eat more vegetables) so that pretty
much nixes 99% of all dishes served at any Filipino party i go to.
but if i was to ever go back, the first thing i'd eat would have to be
tasino (sp?). and i love halo halo!

[L. Dante Guarin [CHASE2]]

crazy. i remember rob barnes. i went to high school with his sister.

[Procto]

hi, everyone. my government name is irwin; my google name is procto,
i guess; and my okp name is selppataei.

i currently live in the 925 (contra costa, ca), but i grew up in the
midwest. graduated high school in denver, started college at cu-
denver, and finished up at cal in '04 with a b.a. in poli sci. cal
football has broken my heart, and i am now damaged goods.

i'm a clerk for the county, looking to jump up and out to the city,
where my fiancee is currently going to dental school. looking to get
my masters, but i'm not sure when and in what discipline; i'm
thinking
public policy or education.

i'm also a myspace rapper/producer: www.myspace.com/thegrandproctologist;
www.myspace.com/fewmusic. you can download my group's most recent
album at: http://www.zshare.net/download/2753910bd764d3/

nice to meet you good folks.

[L. Dante Guarin [CHASE2]]

Cristo, correct? i used to go like 11 years ago.

[Procto]

yep. word; if it was toronto, i visited a couple times in the early
'90's. so *maybe* we've crossed paths, depending on how long you'd
been going. cool.

the cover art on your blog is dope, yo. i've been trying to figure
out s*** myself for a solo joint i've been working on.

[L. Dante Guarin [CHASE2]]
