am no filipino

Trust me,really,i'm not racist. I don't have anything against Filipino either. I've met some cool capoeirista from Filipino,who ensure me that being pregnant is not a hinderance for training. Most people in church also Filipino too (they sure really got a big population of Chatolic there).
Hoever,since i've got here people have been asking me,"Filipino?" and i'd answer,"no,Indonesian".
I'm fine for the the first times,but it's quite tiring for the oomph times.Seems like my look is not remotely "Indonesian" or even "Malay". Numerous times i've been asked as Filipino (no sir/madam I DO NOT understand Tagalog and have whatsoever intention on attending mass in tagalog) or Thai or (this is different a Mac D employee just asked my order in whatever language they're using) Myanmar. Well, at least they're still South East Asian. My friends said it's bad, because being Filipino here is identic as being a maid,and Indonesians as well. Well, i don't really care,since maid is just another profession to me.
I remember on my first year in IKJ, some people thought i was chinese (not the chinese though). I happened again here...I hope i'll get some mandarin soon,it sure can become handy. There's this lady (auntie for exact) at the eating place across my school who spoke to me in Mandarin,but when she knew i'm indonesian..then she speaks Malay.
I was really DELIGHTED. I mean it, when a new friend guessed i'm from indonesia. When i asked why, he told me it's the "r", seems like i "curled" my "r" when i speak in english (oh Mom, i think these Singlish is getting into me).
Truthfully...i miss converse in Indonesian especially in "lo-gue" manner...gimans dong?
