Wapanese?

To be honest, I never heard of the term before until yesterday. Two of my classmates (girls) were arguing about who knows what, one word caught my interest and that is the term wapanese. When I got home the first thing I did was look for its meaning and what I found totally bowled me over literally. It was funny you know, the kind when it only hurts when you laugh I don't know whether those authors were basing it on facts or just writing down their own opinions as ruthless as the may be some of them actually hit the mark.

"Wapanese have a tendency to mercilessly butcher the Japanese language, throwing around random words and phrases while completely ignorant of what they mean."


I am guilty as charged! Though I'm only limited to using honorifics such as chan, chin, san etc. I gotta admit it sounds rather nice and cute. What irks my taters though are those people who rudely assumes that I find profound pleasure in reading their messages composed of each English word punctuated with Japanese ones. Now don't get me wrong I have nothing against it, it's their business and I don't have business butting into other people's business. I just wish that they would stop talking to me that way it gives me a headache and one of them even called me stupid just because I failed to add the "Kawii Desu Ne!" in my sentence. For them people like me who doesn't know the meaning of kawaii are stupid.

"Any individual with an unhealthy obsession with Japanese culture without a reasonable amount of knowledge about Japan a
nd tries to become Japanese at any expense."

I'm having enough trouble with my own two different cultures adding another one will likely to be the cause of my self destruction.

"Thinks that Japanese men are the sexiest shit in the whole planet."

Erm...I think it just boils down to one's own taste but I do think that Hiroyuki Sanada is sexy I remember posting Mr. Sanada's picture in one of my other blog account saying that he is one of the sexiest guy FOR ME. One girl came out of nowhere and was all ready to start fight with me she keeps insisting that blah blah is definetly the sexiest guy ever to walk the earth. Now I don't expect people to actually agree in every word I say but really who freaking cares? If she thinks blah blah is the sexiest so be it no need to massacre all the people who thinks otherwise.

"Are obsessed to a mentally unstable level with anything connected with, like the Japanese language, Japanese customs, and Japanese cultural fads to the point that they smother themselves with these in order to bury their own origins."

Uh-uh I know a few who claims to be half Japanese and...okay I don't have anything nice to say so I'll just shut my mouth and forever hold my peace.

Perhaps, some Filipino teenagers had forgotten about their own country's history you know the part where Japanese soldiers abused, raped and murdered our women. Yeah, yeah let bygones be bygones it's all part of our history now anyway so it's okay to worship them now and pretend to be one of them.

I treasure and love my online friends not because of what they like and what they dislike we have the right to choose the things we want to get obssesed about but I just wish others will stop insulting me just because I happen to have a different interest.
