You succeeded at step one (from your previous blog, where you narrated your "going back" journey). Step two, for me, is to "Learn the Filipino language." You are an intellectual person. You, as a Filipino, has that capability to grasp other languages (common belief) so it will not be hard if you learn bit by bit the Filipino language (Tagalog), which is the language that might reside on your subconscious. Lastly, parents in the United States should still teach the native language to their children. The Philippines fought hard for its freedom (and is still struggling for its freedom from corrupt politicians as of this generation), let alone for its language. It is part of our heritage. Pagpalain ka ng Diyos sa iyong pagtuklas ng ating kulturang Pinoy. Nice blog again :)
