There are still quite a lot of people who are grateful for the Spanish and American colonisation of the Philippines. I can see you rolling your eyes right now, but you don't have to dig deep on the web to find these kinds of people. But while I've seen some people being very critical of the Spanish, the American one seems... diluted? Like people don't know how seriously fucked up the Americans were to the Filipino people.

So here's some details about those things they did in the Philippines. Keep in mind that this is only some and not the whole of the history of American colonisation.

>The Philippine-American War (1899-1902)

Considered by many historians to be the first counterinsurgency fought by the U.S

Featured guerrilla warfare by the Filipinos

Americans used torture, mutilation, killing prisoners, and other genocidal moves.

Intensely criticized in the U.S. by anti-imperialists like Mark Twain and Democratic Party leader William Jennings Bryan, who were the most notable critics of the war and the way it was fought

Military dissenters were also prominent critics.

Tortures included “water cure” where a prisoner’s mouth and nose were flooded with torrents of water from tanks funneled through syringes. Today we call this waterboarding.

4,200 US soldiers died

20,000 Filipino soldiers died

250,000-750,000 civilians died from violence, famine, and disease.

>Colonisation

Self-described imperialists insisted that America had a duty to bring order and civilization to what Indiana senator Alfred Beveridge called a "barbarous race." As the senator insisted, "The Philippines are ours forever. We will not repudiate our duty in the archipelago. We will not abandon our duty in the Orient. We will not renounce our part in the mission of our race, trustee under God, of the civilization of the world."

Racism was rampant, especially from American veterans. Some racial slurs often used were the "n" word, "monkey men", and "gugus", used to dehumanise Filipinos.

Images of Filipinos as animals, or displaying animalistic qualities were common in popular magazines in the United States like: Harper’s Weekly or Judge. Images of Filipinos as dogs, mosquitos, or trained monkeys underscore the qualities associated with Filipinos: trophies, an annoyance, or as pets.

Education used to "civilize" Filipinos and make them more like Americans. After the war, white teachers would come to the Philippines to "educate" the next generation of Filipinos. Either by eliminating the Filipino “half devil” or educating the “half child,” the United States had discovered a method of "cleansing the savagery" of the Filipino peoples: through violence or an American education.

Villages were burned and resulted in the displacement of 3,000-4,000 Filipinos who were forced to abandon their homes and possessions and flee without any idea of where to go next.

American soldiers were some of the first to develop and use concentration camps in their “war” against the Filipinos Additionally, the “dead line” surrounding the camp kept all the natives in check and prevented them from leaving the camp on the threat of death.

In the Coney Island amusement park in 1905, a band of Igorrote (Igorot) were taken to the United States, performing mock tribal ceremonies and consuming dog meat in front of Americans in a human zoo.

From the big bourgeoisie and landlords, US imperialism chose their main political agents to train them as capitalist bureaucrats, benefiting from government colonial loot

Puppet politicians performed the role of deceiving the people during the colonial rule of US imperialism.

The US imperialists extorted the patriotic and revolutionary spirit and spread the narrative of worshipping foreigners so they can control the thinking of the people.

Public education system was used, English language was imposed and taught submissiveness in the minds of the people to US imperialism.

Sent many pensioners to the US to train reliable puppets and propagandist.

Cinema, radio, newspapers, and literature used to discredit the Philippine revolution

Let the Catholic church continue to spread the feudal mentality and superstitions.

Filipinos who continued to be a part of armed resistance were called "bandits".

Brought by the rapid development of trade and use of money, the farmers became even more poor. The bankrupt farmers who owned farmlands were forced to sell their land to landlords, merchants, and rich farmers. Basically during the American era, the evils of Spanish era continued.

Throughout the 1920s, there were many outbreaks spontaneous resistance of the working masses and farmer. This is a result of the continuous intensification of exploitation by foreign and local ruling classes.

In Manila, many strikes broke out. Farmers went on strike in large numbers part of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.

If you keep up with Philippine politics, you can see some very obvious similarities to present day and history. Hence why remembering these atrocities is very important.

ok the fact that Mark Twain was born premature and Steve's always quoting him and Steve’s mum was a nurse in Brooklyn but poor and he was sick as a child and he mentions Coney Island as a significant memory = Steve was definitely one of those Coney Island Incubator babies.

Paper 1

How Dance made me who I am today

For my entire life I have been a resident of New York. I was born and raised in Brooklyn; to be specific, a neighborhood located in South West of Brooklyn called Dyker Heights. I grew up being constantly surrounded by my huge Italian family. 85% of my family lives in the same neighborhood or just minutes away which I am fortunate for. I don't quite speak the language fluently but my parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles all can. For most of my family, Italian is their first language. Whenever my “Nonna” (italian term for Grandma. speak to me I understand what they are saying and can communicate back after having a second to think about it. Italians are known for their big Sunday dinners, which usually are held a bit earlier than usual dinner time. During these dinners you will eat pasta with tomato sauce, chicken cutlets, eggplant parmesan, meatballs, and everything you can imagine thrown together in a dinner with most of your family. Italians have an old school mentality and are big on learning how to take care of the house meaning cleaning, cooking, washing clothes, and etc. My Italian culture and background has influenced the way I was brought up, which was to always put family first, take care of your household, and eat delicious foods.

Dyker Heights is predominantly a residential neighborhood. Since most of the neighborhood is built up of housing, there is one main thoroughfare which is Dyker Heights Boulevard (13th Avenue). The boulevard is one of the only streets with businesses. As a young child all I really had to know was my neighborhood. My elementary school, dancing school, family, friends, dentist, doctor, and anything you could possibly imagine were just a few minutes away from me. When I was a child, most of the residents of Dyker Heights had come mainly from an Italian cultured background. My family’s culture is Italian as well, so I was mostly surrounded by individuals who grew up the same way I have or follow the same cultural aspects. I attended a Catholic school in Dyker Heights where most of the staff and students had come from the same Brooklyn/Italian culture as well. Although there were others of different races and backgrounds as well, predominantly most of us were similar. All students that attended this school had one thing in common and that was being raised following the Catholic religion. These similarities helped form bonds and friendships with the students at the school. Most of the students who attended the school lived in Dyker Heights or close to it. This made it easier for friendships to continue in and out of school. Along with knowing Dyker Heights well I also know the other neighborhoods that are “bridged” to it well like Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, and Gravesend.

At the age of four I began dancing at a local dance studio in Dyker Heights, Danceworks Dance Center. Dance has influenced my life tremendously. From an early age, I had found a passion so deep that has impacted me, and my journey of life. As I said the studio is located in my neighborhood so I was surrounded by similar faces and friends that made me feel safe. In the beginning of my life, dance was fun, it was a hobby, and I was good at it. I auditioned for a performing arts middle school Mark Twain, which I later attended after getting in. The school was located in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Transitioning between a small nonetheless Catholic School to a middle school of 500 students per grade year was a bit of a shock, culturally as well. I was surrounded by individuals with many different backgrounds, religions, and other talents like vocal or drama or athletics. This experience had broadened my perspectives of life. I was not limited to what my neighborhood of Dyker had to offer, but I was exposed to a melting pot of kids from all over the borough of Brooklyn who were just as talented and smart. I consistently had classes with the others in “dance talent” and made friendships that have lasted me up until today and that I know I will have forever. Not all these individuals were just like me, which was an Italian Catholic Dyker Heights girl, we were all different but bonded through dance. We shared a love, and passion for the art which created many mutual interests. We all loved watching Broadway shows or seeing any live dance. Most of us were a part of outside dance companies at our local studios that would compete friendly against one another in various locations. We all got to perform together at the end of every year for our showcase, and spent lots of hours rehearsing. These hours spent together along with our mutual interest allowed us to easily get along and create these friendships with one another.

As I was in middle school, dance got more serious and I decided to audition for my dream school which was LaGuardia High School aka the “Fame School”. This highschool was located in New York City just around the corner from Lincoln Center. It was a drastic change for me and shifted me into the person I am today. I was exposed to thousands of people who lived in completely different boroughs and also created friendships with them as well. I was also surrounded by the dance majors everyday for four years which made them a family to me. Having to be a student at LaGuardia took a lot of responsibility at a young age. My highschool was about an hour and fifteen minute train ride. Because of my decision to attend this school, it had welcomed the world of public transportation to me. Before attending LaGuardia I could probably count the amount of times I’ve taken the train or bus on one hand. At the time, little did I know how fortunate I was to be from a neighborhood that made it possible to get around in a car. The life of public transportation was completely eye opening, and something that enhanced my knowledge of what our city had to offer. Having to take the MTA every morning and afternoon of the week was a huge part of sheltering myself from just knowing my neighborhood only. Although I have had many crazy experiences on the train, for example, my friend almost got her hair lit on fire by a stranger on the train… I have gained many life lessons and memories shared with my friends from highschool. LaGuardia itself had hectic long days that had started from 8am to 4:15pm everyday (which is considered long for an average high schooler). In the process it was rough, but I always reminded myself that I was there to do what I loved doing, which was dance. The people who had attended my high school were filled with talent, and light. I would walk through the staircase and find a group of students singing and playing instruments in the staircase, or a group of dancers including myself hitting a 5,6,7,8 in the middle of the hallway. Moments like these were when I realized despite my crazy long days, or how exhausted I was, I was meant to be here. I spent about 75% of my day with dance majors due to our schedules, which helped me develop friendships that I still hold on to. We collaborated with different kinds of artists like singers, actors, or lighting designers to create shows and performances. This has expanded my knowledge of not only my talent but a glimpse of others as well. When I graduated LaGuardia I walked down the stage feeling accomplished, matured, and ready to take on what college had to offer, a glimpse of real life.

I attended dance at my local studio Danceworks while continuing my middle school, and high school education which meant a lot of dance. I was on their competitive team, and the studio was small. My mentors and classmates have been there for me for years, and have watched me grow as a dancer but a person as well. In my years at Danceworks Dance Center I learned what it truly meant to be a team member. I learned what it meant to be disciplined, what it meant to be prioritized, how to be a competitor and how it felt to be fulfilled. I learned what it meant to be disciplined by showing up to class in proper uniform, to do as I was asked to do respectfully, and show discipline in myself by never slacking and pushing myself to exceed my limits. I learned to prioritize dance and my team by working around my life schedule to make sure I was able to perform, rehearse, or compete with my team. It was senior year of highschool and my prom and my last dance showcase with Danceworks Dance Center fell on the same day. You bet I went to that recital and ran afterwards straight to prom, because I knew what it meant to be involved in something so genuine and real; I wanted to be there for my team for every occasion including my last recital. Danceworks Dance Center made me find fulfillment, and made me feel whole. I was so loved, supported, and appreciated; and I felt the same in return. Being a part of the studio has left me with lessons, and experiences that I will continue to carry out. When I graduated from LaGuardia High School, I graduated danceworks as well. I then was asked to come back and teach at Danceworks with some alumni friends as well. I was so honored to be a part of something that was significant in my own life, and ready to take on a teaching position in others lives the same way. The staff at Danceworks that I still currently work at are family, mentors, and bestfriends I will have for life. My experience at Danceworks has come full circle and I would not want it any other way. Till this day the dance studio of Danceworks is my sane place, and the place I feel most comfortable and myself in. I walk into the studio, plant my feet on the Marley, and I feel fulfilled. While teaching at the studio I feel safe, happy even when students stress me out, and grateful to be sharing my passion for the art with a younger generation. My senior year of highschool I had to decide what path I wanted to take. Did I wanna pursue a career in dance or take up a new hobby? I could not let dance go. It has made me who I am today, developed my most precious relationships, and has made me feel home. Dance has expanded my knowledge of New York City as a whole, and has introduced me to so many cultures through the art itself. I learned what responsibility is, how to be a part of something so real, and what it means to give back. So I chose to attend Long Island University as a Dance Major. I chose to attend LIU because of how vigorous, small, and mighty the dance department is. I know I would receive great training and one on one attention. Also, I would be just next door to the heart of New York City allowing me to travel easily to expand relationships for future jobs. I belong to the social group of LIU Students and most importantly the dance department. Dance has gotten me already so far and has opened several doors for me, I am in hopes it’ll continue to do so in the future as well

Best (Cheap) Date Ideas in NYC

Dear Single Gentlemen of New York City,

 Finding Mrs. Right isn’t easy, and it’s certainly not cheap. That’s why I’m here to extend an olive branch and share some insider tips on great date ideas that won’t break the bank.

 Tip #1: Never underestimate the power of a good walk.

 These are the BEST walk-friendly locations in NYC:

 1. Battery Park (Downtown Manhattan):

Battery Park is conveniently located, great during all times of the year, and has something for everyone.  

 Grab a drink or two at Pier A Harbor House ($$). If you’re visiting during the warmer months, opt to sit outside. This is the BEST place to catch the sunset over the Hudson River. You’ll get unobstructed views of Lady Liberty, Governor’s Island, Brooklyn, and the Verrazano Bridge.

 When you’re done with drinks, make sure to check out these attractions:

American Merchant Mariners’ Memorial

Castle Clinton

SeaGlass Carousel

Staten Island Ferry

 2. Hudson River Park (Downtown Manhattan, West Side Highway):

Hudson River Park is one of the most underrated locations in Manhattan. It has stunning gardens, ample rest areas, and (easily!) one of the best bike lanes in the city.  

 Start at Pier 45 (Enter: Christopher St) and walk down to Pier 25 (Exit: Canal St/Franklin St). Go towards the tallest building in town (1 World Trade).

 Stop to grab a drink at Grand Banks ($$$). This location has major “wow” factor because it’s a retired sailboat-turned-oyster bar. After you’re done with drinks, consider playing a game of mini golf at Pier 25 Mini Golf.  

 Looking for more budget friendly options?

Take your date to people watch at the volleyball, basketball, and tennis courts nearby.

Bump up the adventure factor by renting a *FREE* kayak at the Pier 26 Downtown Boat House (May-October only).

3. Washington Square Park (West Village):

The famous marble arch, the fountains, the performers – what’s not to love about Washington Square Park? Smack in the middle of my favorite Manhattan neighborhood, WSP offers a relaxed atmosphere with historical finds around every corner. Make sure you check out these famous landmarks when you’re in the area: 

Mark Twain House (14 W. 10th St)

The narrowest apartment in NYC (75 ½ Bedford St)

The Friends Apartment (100 Bedford St)

Grove Court (Gated complex between #10 and #12 Grove St)

Carrie Bradshaw’s Apartment (64 Perry St)

And many, many more here: https://freetoursbyfoot.com/things-to-do-in-greenwich-village/

4. Brooklyn Bridge Park (Brooklyn Heights):

There is something so romantic about Brooklyn Bridge Park. It totes a lot of the same perks as Hudson River Park (free kayak rentals, gorgeous views, sailboat restaurants—the Pilot), but has more of that “rustic charm.” It’s also one of my favorite places to have a picnic. Which brings me to Tip #2:

Tip #2: Skip the restaurants and opt for a picnic instead.

 Put in a tiny bit more effort and reap the rewards. Your date will be impressed because you went the extra mile, and you won’t be burdened with a steep restaurant bill.  

 Here’s the ultimate picnic game plan:

Make sure you have an insulated lunch box/container.

Buy (2) small travel mugs or thermoses. Fill them with chilled wine.

Make sure you know which type of wine your date prefers*

Make sure you don’t  get caught drinking in public*

Buy assorted pre-cut cheeses at your local grocery store.

Buy a box of crackers.

Bring plastic utensils/napkins/paper plates.  

Bring a picnic blanket or a few beach towels.

 Consider the above purchases investment pieces. Even if your date doesn’t go well, you can always reuse a picnic blanket or thermos.  

 Tip #3: Take advantage of discounted rates at museums, zoos, and botanic gardens.

Drinks are great, but have you ever seen the mummy exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum? Why not check it out?

Museums:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art (+Met Breuer, Met Cloisters) are “pay-as-you-wish” for residents of New York with valid state ID.

Brooklyn Museum – Free the first Saturday of every month (5-11:00 PM)

The Frick Collection – Free the first Friday of every month (6-9:00 PM)

The Jewish Museum—Free every Saturday

Queens Botanic Garden – Free admission daily (November – March). Free Admission Wednesdays (3-6:00 PM)

Brooklyn Botanic Garden—Free admission from 8-12:00 Noon on Fridays (March – November). Free on Winter weekdays (December-February).

Tip #4: Take the road less traveled.

Here are some more “obscure” NYC locations/date ideas that are perfect for the girl or guy in your life that loves adventure:  

Take a free ride along the Hudson River via Staten Island Ferry.

Take the tram from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island. Here, you can explore the abandoned smallpox hospital, the Franklin D. Roosevelt ‘Four Freedoms Park,’ and the Roosevelt Island lighthouse.

Take the ferry to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Tour the Statue of Liberty and the National Museum of Immigration. *Note: must book tickets in advance.

Take a tour of NYC’s abandoned City Hall Subway Station.

Visit the Stephen A. Schwarzman ‘Main Branch’ of the NYC Public Library. Make sure to check out the Rose Main Reading Room.

Visit the “Portal down to Old New York,” a series of preserved remnants from 17th Century New Amsterdam.

Visit Coney Island. Take a ride on The Cyclone, walk along the boardwalk, and make sure to stop and grab a Nathan’s hot dog.

Try your luck at the Broadway lottery and see if you can snag an orchestra seat for well below retail value.

I hope that these tips and tricks serve you well. If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to submit them via the “Ask Me Anything” box. 

Thanks all, and happy saving!

“I think that I may say that an American has not seen the United States until he has seen Mardi Gras in New Orleans.” (Mark Twain)  However, a Coney Island Mardi Gras, during the Roaring Twenties, must have been quite an experience:)  The celebration was held in September, marking the end of the amusement park season.  As I post this vintage advertisement, from the New York Transit Museum, I am listening to New Orleans jazz from The Dirty Dozen Brass Band!  (Photo taken on September 2, 2016)

I'm giving you all (in the US) a summer reading assignment:

Visit your local library and apply for a library card. (Or pay your fines and renew.)

Ask a librarian for a tour of the library building, the online catalog, and the digital holdings. Ask the librarian to show you how to put materials on hold, how to request materials for purchase, and how to use interlibrary loan.

Check out at least one item. (So you have to return.)

A quote I'm contemplating:

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did." ~Mark Twain

And because I won't be able to go --  Someone enjoy the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island for me. As I send this, the Portugal V Spain match is happening, 25 ish minutes in and already 1-1. Here are the World Cup standings as of June 15th, 2018 at 14:30. Russia spanked Saudi Arabia 5-0 and earlier today Uruguay and Iran each took a win against Egypt an Morocco respectively.

Now, I am an independent media owner with my own NYC recording studio and digital network: I am the best entertainment professional in the World.

I spend my time quietly creating my own original digital media, television and music products (with my own digital recording, computer equipment, products, studio and label) I enjoy producing new ideas and developing my unique concepts into stunning pictures, television scripts and design illustrations. This is where my graphic design education takes light and allows me to bring the World around me into a different and meaningful prospective to visually share color with others. 

When I am not busy working I enjoy a fine dinner, concert, watching theatre.
