Hope you guys have a splendid St. Patrick's Day! May you find gold at the end of your rainbow...(oh yeah I went there).Here's how to say I Love You in 100 different languages. Check it out!
On March 15th, the Solo and Ensemble Festival went fairly well and was definitely a highlight of the year. Although I got an Excellent on my solo, my duet with John got a Superior, our quartet (Josh, Clark, John, and I) got a Superior and a CP (that one was my all time favorite) and the wonderful Monochrome piece got a Superior and a CP as well. Afterwards, Julia, Marcea, John, and Josh came over to "celebrate" at my house. It was super fun except when John and Josh pelted me with several ping pong balls claiming that it was an "accident" and that "I just happened to be there". We played Guitar Hero III and ate a lot of food too. John, Josh, and I played a trio piece by Beethoven for my Filipino family and it was thoroughly appreciated (thanks). Hopefully all you guys come over again soon!!
I hope we go to Regionals for our quartet!!!!!!!!! That would be super fun.
Spring Break has arrived and I am really excited to get some sleep before school starts up again. I'm not doing anything special in particular except for chem and english homework so please call up or say the word when something exciting is happening.
I'm not Irish and I really don't do anything special for St. Patrick's Day but....I use Irish Spring soap if that makes up for anything! It's green and fresh smelling and I like it.
I found this paragraph off a website and I think it explains why there is a separate box to check for Filipinos rather than us checking the Asian box:
"Just so all of you know, those forms (which categorize Filipinos separately from Asians) are configured that way because of confusion created by the older forms. In the past (many years ago) these forms were much simpler. The racial categories were something like "white", "black", "asian", "non-white spanish-surname", and "other." And that's IT. Nothing else. The "spanish-surname" category was created because before the hispanic population grew very large in America, hispanics were considered to be either white or black - there was no racial category known as "hispanics" or "latinos" back then! So a new category was created, and hispanics were given the option of checking the "spanish-surname" box. Well, if you were a Filipino with a Spanish surname, which box would you check? I, personally, would check "Asian." Apparently, however, many Filipinos were confused enough to check "spanish-surname" or "other." This obviously made for inaccurate statisctics. Therefore, placing "Filipino" in a category by itself is just a method of ensuring that the racial statistics are more accurate. It has nothing to do with Filipinos considering themselves to be Asian."
Well that's all for now...Have a good break.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
