8Asians Interviews The Bangerz on their New Single, “Robot Remains”
What do you get when you put together one-part musical heavy hitters and one-part dance floor phenomena? You get the single “Robot Remains,” an explosive collaboration between The Bangerz and America’s Best Dance Crew alumni The Jabbawockeez that was released last month. While The Bangerz consist of Nick Ngo, G-Wrex, Squareweezy, Cutso, Goldenchyld, and Replay, I caught up with members Cutso and Squareweezy at their homebase in San Jose, California to talk about their collaboration [...] Continue »
Philippine Media Banned from Interviewing Floyd Mayweather Jr. in Recent Press Conference
A recent press conference by Golden Boy Productions about the Floyd Mayweather / Shane Mosley fight allowed media groups access to the press conference… except for Filipino media. Did they fear answering the possible questions that would arise about Mayweather’s and his team’s actions towards Manny Pacquiao? I shake my head at this — xenophobia towards my brethren is not tolerated. This is not 1920’s Stockton California, when Filipinos weren’t allowed to go into certain [...] Continue »
Does the Ferdinand Center for the Creative have Misguided Intentions?
For a while, I wondered if there was anything out there that could bring art/graphic design workshops to the poorer parts of the Philippines. It wasn’t until I came across the Kickstarter project of the Ferdinand Center for the Creative.Their mission: “to provide the finest graphic design education for young adults who can’t afford quality art education” in the Rural Phillipines. But is the light that is being painted about impoverished young Filipino adults accurate? [...] Continue »
Relief Package: A Hip Hop Benefit in Northern California
Hip Hop culture happens to be one of the many avenues Filipino-Americans have taken to and identify with. It only seems natural to host an benefit that revolves around the Hip Hop culture for the people of the Philippines who have been affected by Typhoon Ondoy. The Individual Collective Gallery of Vallejo, CA. holds an event called Open Session Saturdays, happening the second and fourth Saturday of each month. Each OSS event consists of live [...] Continue »
Internet Page Reveals How to Talk Dirty in Tagalog
This is a webpage of phrases discussing sex in Tagalog. Just to clarify: The Filipino language Tagalog does not have a direct translation for the word “Sex”. “Mag-seks” is Tag-lish (Tagalog prefix with an English suffix.) Back in the day, before the word “Mag-seks” was invented, people used euphemisms to describe the act of having sex and genitalia. Quite frankly, I think I would keel over from laughter if someone I was with tried to [...] Continue »
SF: Papalote to Offer Special Chicken Adobo Burritos for Typhoon Ondoy Benefit
It’s common in most metropolitan areas for one culture’s food to be crossed into another, and when it’s for a good cause, all the better. The Fulton street location of popular burrito chain Papalote will be serving Mexipino — that’s Mexican-Filipino — goodness for TONIGHT ONLY, combining Chicken Adobo with Garlic Fried Rice, topping it off with tomato slices and wrapping it in a tortilla. Restaurant owner Miguel Escobedo — Mr. E amongst his DJ [...] Continue »
Sharing a Meal at Ponzu: An 8Asians Bloggers Meetup
8asian writers, originally uploaded by simbuyo. On a cool, Thursday evening, Ernie and I drove up from Palo Alto to San Francisco. We met up with some of the other writers (Bo, Efren, Jen, John, and Genghis) for dinner at Ponzu SF. This was my first time meeting everybody else from 8Asians, and from what I can recall I was a bit nervous or slightly intimidated. These are writers that I read on a frequent [...] Continue »
Puerto Rican Bistec, Filipino Bistek
A few months ago, my cousin suggested we grab lunch at this joint in San Rafael called Sol Food. I had never had Puerto Rican food prior and was more than willing to give it a shot. As we were peering through the menu, I had noticed there was a dish that looked all too familiar to my own roots as a Filipina American called Bistek. I grew up in a household where my mother [...] Continue »
