¡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.

I want an Asian Boyfriend...[case closed! 2]

Goodness, time flies! Getting ready for a Latin American writers workshop has me VERY busy. This is a life time event postponed for any reason than following my passion. Many years of ignoring this calling, means serious catching up. So, my evenings are all about writing and editing a manuscript...that is, after an day job; caring for my 9 year old; and Korean classes. My brain is a huge bowl of alphabet soup about to overflow!

Previous posting of Nov 2011
So, let's catch up with our dear Latina looking for Asian love from our previous post (see insert). Last time, she shared her feelings and things were getting pretty serious. Now, this lovely couple is way ahead of me...wedding bells are ringing from a far!

Here's the continuation of the previous posting. This time it's the boyfriend:
"Yes, we don't see each other a lot. But one day we will live together. And we are going to realize how much we love each other, and how our efforts are all worth it. At least our love is realistic.
Advantages: I know that "you" love me. We both live in the same continent. That makes us able to see each other a lot until we really move in together.  
U, that is a great question. We are separated by distance. But you're still trying as much as I'm trying. And when we see each other, that feeling...I love it. Relationship never gets dull, like most couples in the world these days. They spend too much time together that they tend to become couch potatoes, without trying to impress the other partner.
But yeah, disadvantages might probably be: we can't be physical to each other that much until we actually move in together soon.  We can't go on dates. When we need each other, we can't. And I know it's hard, but...but I'm staying...because I found the one. The one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. I love her. And I want to be with her forever.
True love is hard to find these days. That's why a lot of divorces occur. And then I found you. We might not see each other a lot, but I know you (she) love me, and I will do the same. One day we will live under the same roof anyway. And since I know I'm going to spend the rest of my life with you (her), I don't mind waiting for that day to come."
A new chapter in our Latina Friend's life...
These are not only words...he already traveled to introduce himself to her parents, friends and relatives in Puerto Rico (if you have met Boricuas, you know that takes courage!). He introduced her to his relatives in the US. and committed to have a means of support: by enlisting in the military. All this for his lovely Latina!

Can't help but loving a guy like him! My heart goes out to both of them, wishing them all the happiness in the world for many years.

Well, this case is closed, but a new chapter has opened in this Latina's life with her loving Asian boyfriend, I mean, fiancée.

PS: Thanks for adding me to your wedding list!
