Culture: Food and definition

Corn/Chicken Soup

My own definition for Corn/Chicken Soup does not make it sound delicious as it really is. I define Corn/Chicken Soup as a "thick soup made here in Saipan". However, anyone who tasted this delicious dish knows that this definition is to bland to describe Corn/Chicken Soup. It is true that Corn/Chicken Soup is a thick soup, but is much more than that. Corn/Chicken Soup, one of the most popular soup here in Saipan, it is made out of corn, chicken broth, or sometimes mixed with crab imitation and some frozen mixed vegetables. Regardless of the ingredients in corn/chicken soup; this is a very tasty dish.

Respect

According to the dictionary there are several definitions for respect. Respect is " to have regard for; esteem; to avoid violation of; to concern; high, often deferential regard; esteem; expressions of consideration or deference:
In Chamorro word for Respect is "Respetu". The definition is exactly the same, we use the same definition.

On Columbus Day October 10th 2005, I realized the real meaning of Columbus Day. I graduated from high school, and I never realize the true meaning of Columbus Day until that day my daughter told me the story. Thanks to my daughter, without her I will not know whats the whole point of this holiday.

LOVE

What is LOVE?

The dictionary defines LOVE “as a deep affection and warm feeling for another person”, however, this definition is too shallow. LOVE is not just a deep affection and warm feeling for another, but is the way you feel about someone you care. Love is not only the way you feel about someone but also love is loving your children and your family. For example, every child that is born to life, needs love.

My Favorite Holiday

My Favorite Holiday is Christmas. Christmas is is celebrated on December 25th. It is celebrated because Christmas is the day Jesus Christ was born. It is celebrated in honor of his birth date. People celebrate Christmas by preparing special foods, decorating their homes with Christmas lights, joining in singing Christmas Songs, and giving gifts.

Christmas is my favorite holiday, because in my culture, Christmas is very special. My family will go and attend mass, after mass we will go back home and we will open their gifts at the same time, my family prepares food for dinner. On Christmas, our Catholic practice here in Saipan is after mass, on Christmas day 25th, we will take the Statue of Baby Jesus and take it house to house in our village. Children enjoy that part. That is why Christmas is my favorite holiday since I was young.

My favorite persons are my two kids. They are very special to me. They have lots of things that they do that makes me happy. For example, when I’m feeling down, they are there to cheer me up. They come up to me and play with me. They want me play with them to, and that’s when I get up and join them. My kids are fun to be with and they are my favorite persons.
