life as a KUYA

the only reason i'm posting so much is that i'm doing some research on blogging for work! and I'm learning a lot of stuff that we can hopefully use and learn from.

But back to the subject. Way back in the day was this guy named Moonie who started pinoylife.com. One of the first great blogs to capture my attention as it talked about all the good... and not so good stuff about being a filipino-american in this country.

Anyways, I stumbled on this article posted on another awesome blog called Brown Scene. The article starts off like this:

The PinoyLife Guide to Not Being a Kuya

This actually wasn’t a BrownScene article, but an article that appeared on Pinoylife.com, which was a California-based site that really paved the way for our own online presence.

Sometimes, I wonder if the Editor, Moonie Lantion is still out there doing his thing. Moonie, if you are, holler at us.

Meanwhile, I post this article by Moonie out of nostalgia:

Disclaimer: This is not to be taken too seriously. It is not meant to put down Pinays but just to poke fun at the fact that most guys I know have been called Kuya and hated it.

I’ll make this real clear. This article is geared towards men. It is in no way meant to appease any women because it will reveal truths that are unspoken but very well known in the minds of most men. I write this to hopefully educate and enlighten my fellow Pinoy brothers in that they may minimize the amount of times they are called the evil word… KUYA. read more...
