¡Bienvenidas Amigas Latinas!

¡Bienvenidas Amigas Latinas!
Este blog fue creado especialmente para mis amigas latinas contagiadas con la fiebre amarilla (¡y no es el flavivirus!). Si tienes los siguiente síntomas eres víctima del tsunami mas devastador de nuestra era:
* tienes los ojos hinchados: porque te amaneces viendo los nuevos episodios de K-drama,
* comes pescado crudo, y repollo fermentado con palillos (chopsticks),
* actualizaste tu pasaporte (o ya enviaste por el), y estás ahorrando los mile$$ para darte el viajecito en el futuro,
* te inscribiste en clases para aprender a hablar coreano, chino o japonés con la esperanza de comunicarte con tu ídolo cuando visites su país (¡espero que no sea un personaje de anime!),
*cantas las melodías de 2PM o de UVERworld, y,¡ni las entiendes!,
* perdiste el interés en tus compueblanos (¿qué compueblanos? ¡ja!) y miras hambrienta los pocos asiáticos que cruzan tu camino...

Pues, te invito a registrarte y para que compartas tu experiencia. Dime cómo y cuando te contagiaste, que cambios en tu vida ha traído esta influencia; si estas en busca de una pareja asiática o si ya la tienes (aunque por lo visto, no son muy comunes).

Vamos a unir nuestras voces, y a la vez fusionar los mercados mas grandes del mundo: el latino y el asiático. ¡Quien sabe! quizás nos escuchen a lo lejos y respondan; o mejor aún ¡nos visiten!...

Anímate, escribe pronto, ¿ok?
Te espero,
Sandra
100% Latina

Contagiadas por la fiebre amarilla

Contagiadas por la fiebre amarilla...
Adictiva, emotiva y, desgarradoramente atractiva así son los dramas, películas y bandas musicales asiáticas. Están atrayendo a la mujer latina con una rapidez sorprendente.

Aquí podremos analizar nuestra adicción, compartir con otras latinas contagiadas, y alegrarnos de comprobar que no estamos solas. Mujeres de todas las edades están envueltas en este fenómeno, y no necesariamente por romanticismo (en mi caso yo estoy pasadita para amores idílicos)... sino porque nos agrada la variedad y lo nuevo.

Traeré variedad de comentarios y noticias para continuar alimentando la adicción.

Spanglish Welcomed!

Spanglish Welcomed!
For the Latina that has a hard time reading Spanish, follow the comments posted in English, too.

This blog was created for the Latina stricken with the yellow fever -not the flavivirus!- but the illness of being addicted to Asian productions such as drama, movies, music, anime or just the Asian culture in general.

The purpose is to gather your impressions, and to connect with other Latinas living the trend. It would also be great to get to know about Latina-Asian couples (it seems they are very rare).

Hope to hear from your experience!

Venciendo el estereotipo

Venciendo el estereotipo y prejuicio racial...
Vemos mas allá de los esterotipos y discriminación difundida en nuestra cultura latina por mala propaganda e ignorancia.

Would a Latina girl like an Asian guy like me?

Although we are of different cultural backgrounds and ethnicity, we all share the same acceptance issues or self doubts at some time (if not all the time). Here's a recent chat with a fellow friend member of my group fusionlatinasia in China's Sinoplaybook site. Part of my "initiation ritual" is to inquire about their opinion regarding intercultural topics. In this case, since he's young and single, (and cute, too!) I asked his opinion about Latinas. Here's our dialogue:
                             
SPB Friend  “Well, about me, I am interested in an interracial relationship. I believe that a mixture of backgrounds and culture is like enhancing life itself. But I never tried it with a Latina coz I haven't found one yet. 
Would a Latina girl like
an Asian guy like me?
I would love to have a Latina girlfriend, to have a serious relationship that may lead to marriage. I like Latinas but the question is, would a Latina girl like an Asian guy like me? he,he…well, we’ll never know unless I’ll try. Sandra, do you know any Latinas who would like to have an Asian boyfriend?" 

Me: Your view of interracial relationships is so nice, and you seem to be a caring person. Probably, romantic, are you? What’s not to like about that?
I got into this topic because Latinas are ga-ga for Asians. The name for this trend in America is "yellow fever”, saying that Asian men are the ”new black” (not sure if it refers to the color we wear or the race). Would you believe me that there are training seminars for Asians on how to correspond to white women?
Probably it is only a fantasy, but they are eagerly surfing the internet asking if Asians like Latinas, if they would date, or even marry one… There are some generalizations that worries them, like: if Asians prefer to marry within their race, and (don’t laugh!), if they prefer skinny girls. Not that all Latinas are, well, round, but they do tend to be more curvaceous. 
Bottom line, I believe a Latina would be interested in you, because of who you are. I can post our conversation in my blog and Facebook to find out. It’s a harmless quest, I think we should invite more Latinas to step into this discussion. 


SPB Friend  “I have no idea actually about the trend of saying Asians are the new black. But maybe it’s because Asians love their woman like black men do. They make their woman feel secure, take care of them, and Asians have a sense of commitment.at least that’s what I know about myself. lol…
Romantic? Well, maybe. I know how to please a girl and I like to make them happy and sometimes, I like to put some spice in the relationship. He, he,…
I’m not an Asian who likes skinny girls. I love a little chubby girls actually. It’s like the saying that guys love a little more meaty and bouncy". 


Me: “Your answers are always so nice and humorous, too! I think you are (were) a student of art, or literature… Let me know if you are ok to post them in my other blog (in English & Spanish), too. I’ve been approaching Latinas from other sites that are aggressive in their search for Asians. It has been recent, so I’m just giving it sometime. In the meantime, the intercultural topic is my favorite… Do you salsa?”


SPB Friend: “Wow Sandra, I think you have good psychology in you. I’m an architect and art is a big part of my life. Sure, you can post my comment. I have nothing to hide  He, he,… I learned ballroom dancing when I was in college but I’m not sure if I still got the moves. But yeah, I love dancing and with just a bit of practice, I’m sure I can do the salsa". 
                 
Now let's summarize: open minded, friendly, courteous, humorous (meaty & bouncy? hilarious!), committed, humble, caring, attentive, professional, likes to dance (even willing to SALSA!!), likes gorditas, and did you notice: he has nothing to hide.WOW!, sounds like the ideal guy ANY mom would want for her daughter.

Even so, after the list of great qualifications, still, would a Latina like an Asian guy like him? Subjectively speaking, and considering all the toxic material walking loose: con-artists, plastic surgery pretty boys, players, sadists... he's a winner! Yet, it entirely depends on individual preferences or standards. And some girls have set them pretty high expecting a guy with a 100%- guarantee-seal stamped on the forehead. FYI: impossible even if made in China. However, to those ladies asking if Asians like Latinas, just so happens they are wondering the exact same thing about you.

  2. Hi Anonymous:
    What's not to like in Latinas?!

    Maybe that "distance" is just a distracted passerby (maybe busy with study or work -or married!), doesn't mean he's not interested.

    You can try going into groups of Asians seeking for Latinas. If you like go to: https://www.facebook.com/groups/433971476614905/ or https://www.facebook.com/groups/110946999011105/. The manager is Li Den. It's easy going, low key,not a dating site guaranteeing love or relationships, but it's a good start.

  3. to be honest, I'd really date him! ^^ he's so nice! right now I wish I could be in china T^T. I think that It's why we like about them, they treat girls so nicely, they are very gentleman *-*
    like anonymous, I've also been wondering If asian guys like latina girls, If we have a chance with them, and I hope I'll meet some asian guy becuase near where I live there are not anyone!

    Sandra, me gusta mucho tu blog y tus opiniones, tienen buen fundamento, por cierto, a mi también me gusto eso de ''gorditas'' haha eso fue muy dulce *u* Y yo que soy una chica de contextura gruesa pero delgada, me sentí muy bien con esa respuesta XD

  4. Hola, Midolito-chan!
    ¡¡Wow!!! saludos desde Peru, me siento super halagada. Gracias por interesarte en este blog.

    Yo siempre digo: "what's NOT to like of Latinas???" Somos exquisitas, TODAS!

    En mi mas reciente "posting" hablo sobre la FOCALAE, aunque sea un tema político-económico te recomiendo leerlo, y evaluar mas esta asociación. Los países asiáticos tienen mucho interés en América Latina, y tu país es de los mejores aspectados.

    Busca envolverte en las culturas, idiomas, así vas a entrar en contacto con mas personas. Aunque no consiguas a tu principito chino, vas a aprender mucho, expandir el entendimiento intercultural, y hacer nuevos amigos. ¡Garantizado!

    Gracias por comentar. Manténme informada de tu progreso.

  5. Sobre el tema del chico asiático, sinceramente yo me fijaría en un chico como el, por algún motivos los hombres asiáticos tienen algo que me resulta atractivo pero no me refiero tanto a su físico si no mas bien a sus costumbres sus maneras de tratar, en mi país las chicas latinas nos asemos la misma pregunta todas ¿ un chico asiático se podría fijar en una latina?
