I'm gonna admit I'm not the most typical Flip out there. I don't speak a whole lot of Tagalog, I don't run with nothing but Filipinos, and when I'm at a Filipino event I don't perfectly fit in. But I don't perfectly fit in anywhere. I just am what I am. No one's ever really bothered to fit me in to one group, whether it's Flip, white, hip hop, rock, whatever. I just do what I do the way I do it and that's me.

But being Filpino is still part of my life everyday. I wake up everyday and know and love where my folks come from. Any time I'm with fam I know how I get down. I eat Filipino foods more than a couple times a week. Just cause I don't scream and shout it doesn't mean I don't know what I am.
