December 27, 2008, 12:00 AMI'm from Ermita and I live on U.N. Ave... well I should say I sometimes live on U.N. Ave... my other 'hometown' is in Australia....
My Dad is Australian, and my Mom was born and raised in Manila... I think my grandpa was originally from Cavite...

November 02, 2008, 03:02 AMMy folks are still living in the Pasig area, near SM Megamall... I grew up in Malabon area, then we moved several times around the QC area, finally ending up in Pasig.
I now live with my own family (wife and 4 1/2 year old daughter) here in Silicon Valley, but every year around March/April timeframe, we go back to the Philippines to visit and unwind.

November 09, 2008, 05:07 AMWow, crisgee, maybe we are cowsins! My family is from Sto. Tomás, La Unión, so they are Pangasinan speakers. I grew up outside of Seattle; my parents live now in Las Vegas.

November 09, 2008, 04:26 PMHito, nah it's a bit farther. Basta as for as i know Binondo and Quiapo are right beside each other. The original Pinoy downtown, reprezent.
JP, perhaps we are cousins! My mom's mom hails from Tubao, La Union, which, according to Google Earth, is just about 10 km north of Sto. Tomas!
But why does your family speak Pangalatok? My grandmother speaks Ilocano.

November 08, 2008, 05:01 PMYeah baby, Quiapo + Binondo are cheaper than Qipu Lu yo!
As for me, I live Project 8, QC. That's near SM North Edsa and Trinoma. Although when I was still studying, i lived in Cainta, Rizal.
My paternal grandparents are from Pangasinan while my maternal grandparents are from La Union and Laguna. They now live in Mars, but don't tell them i told you.
