My Family Blood

Okay, over the many years of my life people have thought of me being chinese because of eyes and sometimes filipino because of skin color and only once in my life bruneian....yes once in the wet market -_-" so i'm here to break down my nationality through my blood where i've asked my parents about my grandparents bloodline nationality also asked my grandparents' bloodline as well.

First of all is my dad, from a first glance he looks chinese but then he's not, he's filipino. So, when i asked him about my grandparents [since my dad's parents have passed away (god bless their souls in heaven)]. He broke it down through his name which is M_ _ _ _ _ _ Evanhalista [i forgot the spelling] Untalan, seems quite spanish? well its true! my grandmother in his side is chinese-filipino [he forgot the surname of my grandmother and said it's chinese] where he experienced being taught some chinese in which he has forgotten -_-" now to my dad's father, he's a spanish-filipino descent which can be seen through my dad's fair skin. Furthermore, he broke down to me the parents of my grandparents were mixed blooded as well! it was fascinating to see that i have chinese blood and spanish blood!

Now, to my mom's side, first glance she doesnt look very much like a filipino as she's quite fair but then she's also filipino. The full name is S_ _ _ _ _ _ Santiago Ognita. Okay my grandparents in this side of the family is still alive and living well! =D okay first my grandpa, looks like an everyday filipino at first look and guess what? he's full blooded filipino! haha even though some thought in my mom's ward 3 Ognita is pretty much sounds like Jap like Onita. Now Santiago, my grandma looks very very much chinese! but nope filipino also but background family, her mother was chinese-filipino as well whilst her father spanish-filipino as well! i can see the chinese looks in my grandma and abit of the spanish looks when she showed me her younger days photos.

So, lets break it down now shall we?
I have two grandmothers are chinese-filipino but one with spanish blood, then one grandfather with full filipino blood and one spanish-filipino blood.
So, overall I'm 1/4 chinese, 1/4 spanish. 2/4 filipino...but then my filipino and bit of chinese blood is very dominant than my spanish however, my dad says "your skin is a trademark of a mixture of spanish and filipino, tanned and fair. As when you were born until the age of 10. you were much fairer than me and seemed like a foreigner" thats nice of him to say that, but i look more chinese when i'm fairer =P

So yea, this post was part of my previous research last year where i wanted to discover further of my family bloodline where i asked my parents and grandparents about the bloodline of nationality. hehe i was really fascinated!

Imagine my name is Joseph Santiago Ognita Evanhalista Untalan [soooo long!]...so i'm staying with Ognita and Untalan even though some say its not spanish but it is =P

=============================

Now for today's post! I did my exam for driving theory and it was easy like doing a wand movement in the new harry potter game [which i finished and know some parts of the story..lucky very little spoilers]. And yea that's it!
haha i'm now currently downloading some Jazz Music as i discovered that a timbre voice in singing is very much suitable for jazz! but still i really like the other genres like rock, broadway,pop,r&b and so on.
One thing i wanna watch now is Hairy otter and the fried chicken order [harry potter and the order of the phoenix] and live hard 4.0 [die hard 4.0]...and some other movies i've been recomended to watch.

So,Sooooo loooong! and that's all folks!

[next post next week, about....something =P]
