Seamonkey | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:00 am     Jun and Jee were both born in Korea. Both families were NOT Buddhist in Korea or in the US but later Jee's mother did convert to Buddhism. The ceremony was more from Korean ancestor worship and was something comfortable to Jee's fmily but not at all to Jun's. So, she was supportive of Jee, the person, but the ceremony was not something her family would have performed. She did think, as others did, that Nate was being melodramtic in his reactions to Jee's ceremony. It was interesting to hear Jun talk about her childhood, being left by her parents in Korea for three years and how angry she was to be uprooted and brought to NY to these strangers, her parent. Also she had been told that they hadn't planned her and planned to abort her but didn't. She was born prematurely and almost died. Unfortunately, Ali did her "me too" thing, interrupted and took over the conversation to tell about when she almost died, so we heard no more. The grandmother didn't adapt to the US, would steal things. Jun said they'd get home from a trip and the motel would call and they'd find a hotel lamp in granny's room .. so granny went back to Korea. But one of her grandmothers also constantly ragges on Jun's weight when she was overweight.. Sounds like she has some reason to have some resentment, but she's also said nice things about mom, dad and brother too. Being close to your family is wonderful but it simply doesn't happen the same in each family and is hardly a reason to condemn someone. |
Seamonkey | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:07 am     I have heard "mami" and "papi" used but when i lived in Santa Ana my neighbors were more likely to say "mi hijo" ( sounding like "mijo" with great pride and tenderness in the case of my next door neighbor. Those neighbers were from Zacatecas originally. Others were from El Salvador. The important part was that Robert and Elena both understood what was conveyed.. they love each other. |
Charvie | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:23 am     To add to the "mama" convo, I call both my sons papa bear, fat papa, I called my sister when she was little mommy face. Sometimes I will say grandpa or grown man. This is something my family has done for generations. And it's not just a spanish/cuban/south american thing either. Because I am black. |
Spunky | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 12:45 pm     Can someone tell me if there's going to be an "alternative" Clubhouse website if tonight this board crashes again??? (it seems it's bound to happen with so many people trying to follow the HOH comp online...) |
Myjohnhenry | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 01:22 pm     Here is another little blurb about terms of endearment in Spanish....(found on a genealogy site of all places that I will have to go find again) "There is an interesting phenomenon in Spanish when it comes to addressing women and men in intimate relationships. The word mamita, mama, mamacita can be used to address -1- someone’s mother, (Mom); -2– a daughter, a baby (honey, baby, sweetheart), -3– a lover (my love; has a direct sexual connotation), and -4- as a derivate of the previous meaning, may also refer to one's wife. The same goes for the familiar terms of endearment papa, papito, papacito. These are the masculine form of the above terms, thus translating roughly into Dad, son, lover, and husband. Imagine the confusion when this word is taken out of context; it sounds the same, and if you could not see who is speaking, and what their relationship really is, you would not know if it is a dialogue between lovers, or a grandma speaking to a grandson, or a daughter speaking to her dad, because they would both say "papacito" to refer to their male counterpart, and "mamacita" to address the female. When researching personal papers, letters, diaries and journals, it is extremely important to discern the full context of usage of these familiar terms if you are to ensure identification of the correct ancestor." |
Jan | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 01:26 pm     Spunky...I htink people are usually in CHAT during the show and I don't think it goes down when the board does?? (I have never been in chat so I can't say for certain. I think I have read that on these boards though) |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:13 pm     OK is anyone else on feeds getting some upbeat jazzy instrumental music instead of our usual FOTH??? Am I the only one hearing this (please say no...and HURRY! ) |
Cliotheleo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:14 pm     Yes, you are the only one hearing it. I'm getting a collection of Ozzy's greatest hits. (no, you're not the only one) |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:17 pm     Clio, behave--LOL! Okay, so it's not just me! Thought Erika and I might be sharing a day of odd BB-related experiences that only we heard/saw. Whew...I am NOT crazy, I am NOT crazy... |
Hamsterlady | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:19 pm     This IS THE 'Expect The Unexpected'!!!!! hehehe  |
Fan3 | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 04:41 pm     Just an hour until I get my live back if Erica gone no need tosee the final shows, Rhink I start a petition to CBS to bring back the voting to us the viewers sure would change things.... |
Hamsterlady | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 05:23 pm     Did I just hear Ali say her tennis shoes hurt her feet???? |
Jan | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:43 am     When will the next part (second part?) of the HOH competiton be? Is any competition scheduled at all today? (ie HOH, Luxury,Food)? I have gleaned from reading this gen disc area that Ali won part 1 by promising to take Rob with her if she wins part 3? Is that right? |
Windella | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:49 am     i can't believe that robert would believe ali when she said 99% sure she'd take him in the final2. is he that dumb? to believe a liar like her? |
Gina8642 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:49 am     no, she said she'd consider it. there was no promise |
Katlady53 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:50 am     Why does Robert say he likes Ali better than Jun? |
Windella | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:55 am     i know that, but for him to even THINK she may be honest.... i guess since she didn't out right and say 100%, makes it ok. robert should never had let go no matter what. |
Windella | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:59 am     with jack long gone, and erika just leaving, i have no one to cheer for. i have no idea who i would want to win with these 3 left. maybe jun? robert hates women or at least that's how it sounded. ali is just plan evil, and jun? but she's been a b&*(ch too. what do you guys think. |
Kaili | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 08:59 am     He would have lost it anyway- his hands were turning purple and his back was freezing. No point in suffering when you aren't going to win. His only chance would have been Alison accidently letting go. |
Katlady53 | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:00 am     Windella, I never thought I'd say it, but I'd vote for Robert. IMHO he's the lesser of three evils at the moment. |
Windella | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:07 am     i didn't know that robert was having such a tough time in the comp. |
Kaili | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 09:29 am     Windella, I was watching the feeds before Jun left and they were both looking at his hands- they were cold and wet and he was miserable. Afetr they went inside, his whole back was red. Alison kept telling him he needed to change and take a warm bath to heat up. He even had a doctor in the DR look at it (they said to come back in 15 minutes if it hadn't gotten better). Alison's hands were dry and she was fine. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:31 pm     Okay....this week is a three part HOH....and Ali won part 1. Do we know what part 2 is and when it takes place yet? Or are we just waiting for the next show to find out about parts 2 and 3? Also, the next show appears to be Tuesday....no Friday or Saturday show this week, right? Thanks in advance for any answers! |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:43 pm     Part 2 of the comp. takes place Sunday and I we're still assuming at this point that part 3 is on the live show. I don't think we know what they'll involve but all the Robert fans are hoping it's a salsa competition. No Friday or Saturday show for the rest of the season. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, September 11, 2003 - 10:50 pm     Thanks Cliotheleo! |
