My uncle has a similiar tat... I think it's a gang affiliation or something to do with a millitia. There alot of older Filipinos with that triangle tat.
dalawapo

Horitaka

dalawapo

halohalo
I've never heard of any but maybe it's some gang or a cult???
Horitaka
I know escrimadors use the triangle symbol alot...

When we talk of gang symbols there are some well know ones, like the sputniks spaceship, cavit playboys bunny, and BNG's ? but I think some militiia uses that triangle.
dalawapo
oh so there are escrima cults? i use to do it in my dance troupe, man i would like to join one... but im not down with the knife fightin... i rather stick with the sticks!!! lol i realy did it in a dance forum, not like a freestyle battle.....
halohalo
escrima is the one with the sticks right? Yeah I know some escrima coz that was our physical activity for school when I was younger.
Horitaka
for reals?
Where'd you go to school at?
you'r lucky

I hella wanna learn, but I'm scared people will look at me funny cause I'm too old.
dalawapo

this was when I was younger, around yr 4-5, and it was in elementary school. But yeah, learning escrima was pretty fun, we got to battle each other out sometimes. At first I wasnt into it as much but then my teacher, he was really cool, he taught us some really cool moves. But I forgot about half of what he's taught us now so yeah, I also wanna re-learn it again.

Horitaka
Who plays with him when you're at school? He must get bored when you'r gone
dalawapo
too bad i graduated hs & dont go to school yet. embarassedlaugh.gif... man i lock that thing in my closet cuz he go buc on me and try to bite and scratch and attack.... i think he is wild he like to jump around like a rabbit LOL icon_confused.gif
Horitaka
I was asking cause he's probly lonely when your gone.

that's messed up you keep him locked up like that. You should realy let him out. You should enjoy his kitteness while you still can because they eventually grow out of it and become stagnant.

Me, I have 2 cats. I got the other one cause the other one needed someone to play with when we were both at work. All they do all day is play fight with eachother. It's hella funny to see them go at it, but it's also a b!tch cause they fu-k my place up!
dalawapo
oh you got married or a gf? confused.gif

what kind of job do u got, u graduated college? man seriously help!! i need a direction
Horitaka

You should study to become a teacher and become some asian studies professor or something. That is, AFTER you lived and experienced the Philippines first hand. That's what I would do if I were you since you seem so interested in the culture.

dalawapo
wow, you two make a beautiful couple you two look like u just or about to go clubbin. icon_smile.gif is she japanese or simply filipina like you as well? i cant tell who's a filipino anymore after seeing you.

There is indeed a connection between the Freemasons, Philippine Revolution and the Secret Societies of the Philippines.
