Just got my Ancestry.com results other day…… didn’t surprise me, though.
I am :
Philippines ———————— 60% ( Malay – Indonesian race )
Spain ———————– 15 %
Sardinia ———————– 15 %
Italy ———————- 10 %
I wasn’t surprised…… however, Sardinia ? ? ? Isn’t Sardinia in Italy ?
Anyway,
We know exactly where in Spain my great, great grandparents came from… Sta. Maria de la Nueva, Segovia, Spain. My grandma even went to Spain to attend a reunion given by her Spanish relatives years ago. My grandma taught Spanish at a university in the Philipines. So, yeah, Spanish ancestry is a given.
But, again, Sardinia ??? It’s very specific, isn’t ?
* ponders *
My sister’s hubby is Italian-American. My cousin’s hubby is Italian -American. And , a friend ( who likes me , * cough, cough * ) is Italian/Polish( ? ) -American ( although his last name is Polish, like Lywyck…. Ha ha…. ) I wonder why his mom , who came from Italy , is thankful her beloved son doesn’t have an Italian last name. She says it’s too ethnic. .. her exact words. Eh ? Really ? How about me ? A friend once told me my name sounds like a female villain’s name from a Mexican telenovela, like, Maria Esperanza Madriaga. lol.. Too ethnic, eh ? * shakes head * ” Madame Lywyck, your last name is all consonants, he he. * Trouble, trouble, double trouble. * dashes off *
Anyway,
I still consider my race as ” pure Filipino “, pure Asian, and American , of course. * raises American flag *, PTBA .

Hmmmm, Sardinia…..
Wait, why am I so focused on Sardinia ? lol
Well, whatever…. this has taken freakin’ Corona Virus off my mind. And to think this fudging virus is not even a living thing. It’s just a protein covered with fat. So, yeah, wash your hands with foamy ordinary soap /detergent and hot water. And , disinfect with liquid containing 65% or over alcohol content. And Listerine your mouth ! Mouthwashes contain over 65% alcohol.
Oh, no ! ! I need more alcohol ! !
