I told him my last name was Taimanglo and he kept pulling at my hair. I was pretty upset that 1.) He dared to put his hands on me and 2.) That as the child of a Marine with hair lighter than mine, he had the nerve to say it to me. I've heard quite a few stories of the "Independent King of the Sinahi Archipelago" offending people. lol. He deserves a blog entry or poem of his own! ha ha.Desiree Taimanglo Venturahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09389252656580029077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2057405888152288370.post-15611023323726334442011-12-21T03:13:25.946-08:002011-12-21T03:13:25.946-08:00We should start a "Yes! I'm Chamorro" support group. Imagine growing up looking too Japanese in a mostly Chamorro Filipino family. People still look at me in disbelief when I tell them I'm Chamorro. I was at a public hearing and si Magalahi Maga' Aniti told me my eyes are ching ching, that's how he knows I'm not from here. I told him his eyes are just as ching ching!Dreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01149361030947048201noreply@blogger.com
