I had worked with Filipinos since age 19 , first in EMS on the rough streets of Oakland California. And it was war like. A couple partners were Pinoy though it mattered not. I did not know lumpia nor pasalubong.
Fast forward to Naval service and it's a hella Pinoy life. If one falls victim to the Filipino Mafia aboard a Man of War your food , your laundry, your electricity, your supply shop, your pay, your haircut.....get the picture. Once every **** days dinner was
Lumpia
Chicken Adobo
Rice
Pancit.
If your not down with the brown it's peanut butter and jelly.
If you are malambing AND Doc, life is good.
Seeking challenge as always I moved to the Green Side from da Blue Side.
That would be the Marine Corps. Particularly the FMF , Division, where dispensing hurt on our enemies was our profession. Alas most Pinoys were in the rear with the gear and far from me. With one rather unpleasant exception
My Uncles Yacht Club funded an all expense Camping Trip to a HOT or FREEZING Sandy place.
I never set foot on the Philippines....for I knew I was married in a sexless loveless marriage and I was weak. I sent my troops there whom regaled me with talk about the usual disgusting and tawdry aspect of my beloved and oft times maligned country , the Republic of the Philippines
Fast forward, I became a Nurse in California. After camping trip from hell. The unit was ****% Asian and mostly Pinays. They saw the pain in my baby blue eyes, the conflicted soul. And they got busy most Ricky tic.
They taught me to live ....again. SA live muli. Mabuhay much ? They loved the fact I loved Rice. I learned to augment MREs with Rice while camping. Pinoy connections. They fed me. They taught me about their culture. About there huge families. There worship of children and old people.
I met her there. 15 years older. But so pretty what is known as a coconut, brown on the outside, white on the inside. She had the largest heart energy I'd ever experienced. She was going through a complicated breakup with the Pediatric Surgeon she supported for **** years. He wanted all ..her house etc so he cud fuck his younger hotter Chinese American Sexratary. I assisted.
I was in the final stages of marriage with the evil white woman. Sleeping on the couch or the floor in a loveless , sexless ' marriage ' , working two jobs to attend ' couples ' counseling for three years.
Few had a biopsy in the Cancer Unit at Stanford. My wife so pissed as I melted down trying to contact her.
She was ok , non cancerous female reproductive thing. I asked to meet her.
I showed up at her doorstep in the spring. How appropriate. In my arms. Blue eyes, fine blond hair. We talked for three hours.
' I'm very vulnerable ' she said
' me too!'
The dance stopped. We held each other as my heart beated out of my chest. Not having an embrace for over 3 years.
That song. That first kiss.
OMG OMG
We ended up living together.
I was not wise.
Now I know relationship should go slowly slowly in this mindful manner:
Friendship
Companionship
Physical Intimacy
Comittment
We bypassed all to sexual intimacy and comittment. For we were very thirsty in the desert of our sexless selves.
My first Filipino Christmas
Wow.
The street full of vans. High end cars. The smell of food wafted from 50 meters away. I literally followed my nose inside.
The table was bowed in the middle. From an overload of food. The sounds of football.
Her Papa greeted me. In his 70s. He was a fucking Filipino Scout. A Cavalryman who had to Eat his horse 😞.
Shot in the leg in the death march of Bataan. Played dead till villagers rescued him. He was a bad ass guerilla.
After the war he earned a commission in the US Army. A successful career. Then civil service, a Bachelors degree, a Masters Degree and was jonesing for a PhD till his wife said enough.
Parties.
Weddings.
Baptisms wearing Suits with tie. Solemn, not **** in the barangays parish
Fiestas
Funerals.
Cooking. Eating. Loving
I taught her how to love anal. She had had oral sex one time before. And snap snap snap arriving. Squirting once. Shaving her Kiki hair. Asking her to go b omhot pinays gorgeous nipples.
Trips. Love. Cooking. Gardening. Building fences and decks. Spoiling small children and old people.
Learning to wash the rice. Use a rice cooker. Ginger. Garlic. Vinegar. Okra. Fish sauce. Shrimp paste. Bitter melon.
But I wanted more
I wanted to swing.
