Ya hunngan nai hagu i mas ya-hu- And yes you're the one I like

Chorus

Ya ni hayi kuentos ti bai tulaika siente-ku- And whoever talks I won’t change my feelings

Sa hagu ai neni guinaiya-ku- Because you baby are my love

Pues maila fan guini ai lokkue I fion-hu- Well come over and next to me

Sa ai hunggan neni hagu hu hahasso- Because yes baby you are the one I think about

Ya hagu ai gaige gi kurason-hu- And you're the one in my heart

Ya ni hayi..

Ai i militat

2010-11-12T23:51:00.000-08:00

If you've been listening to the news and latest island hot topics you've heard about the top military officials disrespectful comments about the Chamorro people.
I find it really rude that the person that made the comments tried to play it off like the lady who overheard the conversation took it out of context.
What context would it have been fine to say mean things about a saina?
This is why I dislike the military. They think that they are above us and that attitude is offensive.
If you don't like us, get off our island. Simple solution and we both win.
Paula Conhain- “Unfortunately portions of the conversation were taken out of context. I apologize if there was an impression that the discussion was offensive which was not my intent. I am committed to understanding the Guam community and Chamorro culture and to considering them as we work to move the program forward.”
What a weak excuse and I really hope karma gets her or at least a taotaomona pinches her daggan.
This just gets my blood boiling. The military is so tai respectu.

Metgot i Chamorro

2009-07-28T06:10:00.000-07:00

You know something.
I've read some Chamorro forums that talked about the Chamorro culture being dead or will die so might as well not touch it. Like it were some kind of disease. That the language we have had for thousands of years is nothing and shouldn't be important to us.
Ai na piniti para guahu.
Why do people talk about the Chamorro culture being something of the distant past that has been lost?
Why do people talk about the Chamorro culture as if it were something we cannot save or shouldn't save?
This kind of thinking is not what we should be doing.
This is how I see the Chamorro culture and I hope it may help motivate those who think it is dead or shouldn't be saved.

The Chamorro people have shown immense strength and survival through keeping our culture alive for hundreds of years of colonialism and oppression.
It could have been lost hundreds of years ago and we would just be an island that spoke Spanish as the native tongue. But our ancestors did not let this happen. Albeit we put a lot of words into our vocabulary from the Spanish, but the way we pronounce it and our grammar is still the same.
Yes we lost our ancient canoes and our dances, but we still kept many of the things we could manage to keep.
It was hard to do many ancient thigns because the Spanish forbade it and the Chamorros did not want to get in trouble.
But the Chamorro's still were a little aguaguat. They manage to keep the techa, the weaving, the language, the customs like chen'chule and the deep respect for the dead alive.
We have survived through a war that was so hard. And I will never know what they went through, but I imagined it to be ruthless.
With the American colonization we slowly lost many native speakers to the idealism of English being important and the old Chamorro ways not something to strive for. It looked like it was over for us.
But today there is culture revival going on and we can be a part of it. We can learn our tongue, we can learn the skills, we can learn the stories so we can keep it alive.
We are a people that survive and we can show once again that we will survive.
So no Chamorro culture isn't dead we have incorporated what we needed to incorporate to survive. We are still Chamorros.
Chamorros are stong.
Si Yu'us Ma'ase.

And I will make a difference.
And you should too for our CULTURE.

For Love of Country? Not Really.

2007-04-06T01:08:00.000-07:00

Ai adai i gachong-hu.
I wished I could say I love my country, but I can't because Guam isn't a country.
I know we are a part of the United States, but we are just a territory.
A result of the United States idea called Manifest Destiny.
One day I hope this will change.
The islander.
