It's been more than two months since the last post but I've got nothing to do. :/
I have no idea what my dad saw me as. He was diagnosed with a rare neurodegenerative disease when I was six, and obviously I didn't really care what my parents saw me as, ethnicity-wise. My mom sees me more as a Filipino with lighter skin and a European nose, haha. She's always fed me lots about her native country and treats me like an Asian... except when she's talking to family in Tagalog, where I have to quietly sit as I awkwardly wait for the conversation to end. Since I'm still learning Tagalog, she tells me that when I can speak it fluently, I will be a "full-blown Filipino" (kind of contradictory to my former statement, I know). I eat the food, watch TFC, and regularly contact my Filipino cousins. For now, I guess I'm just a bubble in the middle. I know for sure that my classmates see me as a white "with something in me" unless they know I'm like 75% Asian.
