Be it because of the stereotype being dominican brings, or the awful jokes i would here etc. The fact that when i would say i am dominican, people would look at me like ” yeah right…you?!”</p> <p>YEAH, ME!</p> <p>From the time i was 2 till my pre-teen years my mother would send me year (3 summer months, and winter break) to Santo Dominigo to be with my grandmother, her finca (farmland) and enjoy, absorb, learn and appriciate what it mean to be Dominican.</p> <p>Looking back now, I had an great childhood in that aspect.</p> <p>From getting on the plane, where people will be playing music, clapping being happy then landing…when you land in DR in a plane full of dominicans…and EVERYONE is so happy, clapping, kissing the ground when you board off…its beyond words to express the happiness you feel. And yes i havent been back in many years, but when i reflect back on those moments, i can’t help but smile.</p> <p>Quisqueya…</p> <p>From grandma’s homecooking, to tio’s jokes over some heinekens, to my mom teaching me to dance with a broom on a sunday morning while the house smells of mistolin ….im proud of where i’ve come from.</p> <p>and sure many people say i don’t act “dominican” but it doesnt matter. just because i don’t act the stereotypical way , does not mean i am not dominican.</p> <p>I am happy i break that mold, I am happy I follow the beat to my own drum.</p> <p>now, its time to call abuela (grandma) and see what she has planned for today in DR</p> <p>DIOS PATRIA y LIBERTAD</p>http://dimplegirl78.com/post/415516300http://dimplegirl78.com/post/415516300Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:50:43 -0500Republica Dominica,Dominicana SoySanto DominigoDominican AmericanDominican indepence day<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyMm4rJemtI">ashes to ashes</a>http://dimplegirl78.com/post/415460098http://dimplegirl78.com/post/415460098Sat, 27 Feb 2010 10:09:12 -0500moodnot sorryi am not often speechless …but when i am its because i just find the situation so mind...http://dimplegirl78.com/post/413773400http://dimplegirl78.com/post/413773400Fri, 26 Feb 2010 14:57:33 -0500painfibromyalgiastresshurt feelingsventingsad I am not sure where to start since I am feeling like a broken record here.
