Multicultural Day. :)

We celebrated Multicultural Day at school on the 18th of November. We had these different stalls featuring different nations. And of course, there’s the Philippines’ stall! There were Filipino foods there. And funny story, my Chemistry teacher first went on that stall instead of going to his country’s stall, Italy.

Chemistry teacher: “Okay. What’s delicious here, Hella? :D”
Me: “All of them! Try all of them!”
Chemistry teacher: “Really?? All of them?”
Me: “Yeah! Oh! Try Adobo! It’s delicious :D”
Chemistry teacher: “Oh Adobo? Okay okay. I’ll try that one! Oh! I want Lumpia!”
Me: “And try Menudo, too!”
Chemistry teacher: “You see *insert friend’s name here*, I also eat Filipino foods :D”

He seems interested in Filipino culture. Maybe it’s because the majority of the students in our school is of Filipino heritage. He even wanted a sample plate but he can’t since he has to give tickets for the foods. And my sister even saw him passing by back again! He said to me that he’ll come back and try the other stuff. But the foods are gone too fast. It’s because Filipino food is delicious! And it was so funny. Here in Canada, Spring Rolls is what we call Lumpia here. And it’s really surprising that he really called it Lumpia! And he wanted to try Turon too! :D okay. Here’s another conversation.

Chemistry teacher: “We have a Filipino class in this school? I didn’t know that!”
He looked and me and asked..
Chemistry teacher: “So what’s the official language of the Philippines? Is it Tagalog?”
Me: “Yes. Tagalog is the official language. :D”
Chemistry teacher: “Is it the only language there or do you have different dialects?”
Me: “Yeap. We have different regions in the Philippines speaking in different dialects but Tagalog is the most spoken since the largest island speaks Tagalog :)”
Chemistry teacher: “Ohh. Okay okay. I just want to know because majority of the students of this school is Filipino and I don’t want them swearing behind my back :) thanks!”

Swearing in school is a super big deal for people in my school. I dunno why. Maybe because it’s a Catholic school :D you get detention for swearing.

Okay I’m sorry. I was just hyped that he was this interested. Haha! And of course being Filipino, I’m gonna be this proud! Anywaaaays. I’m still very sorry for not returning comments and not going to your blogs. It’s just that I’ve been so busy and I have got no time for blogging. I promise that I’ll make more time during Christmas vacation. :)
