After ranting and or fuming at my elderly father, and in hindsight, I understood why God had been strict about marriages.
The children are the products of the union between two bloodlines.
For example, tomorrow we’re attending a teenager’s promotion to eight grade.
This function is weird and probably a cover because the kid would visit her grandmother or my paternal aunt Malouse, every summer in Hayward from Illinois.
Now I’ve never met the kid but she’s my 1st cousin once removed.
According to my paternal aunt MalDeath, the kid’s Mexican father is dead.
One of his sisters adopted/took full custody of the kid.
Her mother, my 1st cousin, an Army veteran, is dead, too.
So what I’m trying to say is that, although the mixture between Mexicans and Filipinos is beautiful, I got my feathers ruffled upon learning of the marriage some 13 years ago.
Needless to say, I get territorial and wondered if the guy was in a gang.
Tarlac, Philippines. I learned from my elderly father that those from Tarlac are closely related to those from Pampanga, Philippines.
Pamapanga people are known to eat dogs, team canine. Hence, the loose derogatory of “dog blood”.
My aunt Malouse married a Tarlac, who had many girlfriends while he courted my aunt Malouse.
Later, he became a womanizer.
I recall the sadness (post womanizing event) painted all over my aunt Malouse, who was decked in full white wedding attire for her 25th wedding anniversary, who we didn’t attend, since they didn’t attend my parent’s 25th wedding anniversary, too.
And so the “dog blood” runs on their family, starting with her eldest son and a minor, who birthed a male and so on down the bloodline.
While I’m supposed to celebrate a weird event that’s outside the normal wedding and anniversary and at the behest of aunt Malouse who blames us anyways for NOT attending their countless immediate family’s functions, I’m pissed off.
Technically, I really don’t want to attend these kid functions because I don’t have kids of my own and don’t get along with people anyway.
So yeah I told dad don’t get too excited over their family because we are private people.
