No, you are definitely not alone in this, people do it all the time and it's perfectly understandable. Since the Spanish colonized all sorts of peoples, Mexicans and Filipinos included, they share Spanish last names, as well as lingering aspects of Spanish culture, such as words/terms, Catholicism, and food. My mom is Filipino and her last name is Hernandez! :-)Kris (Voracious YAppetite)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17764644281859703177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-16653480645903690992010-04-24T17:26:18.565-05:002010-04-24T17:26:18.565-05:00@campbele-I agree!

I couldn't believe it either, but I was looking at old posts <br />(that made me blush with how awful they were, thank you for sticking with me!) and realized it's almost been a year.

Hmm. I wasn't completely sure though until I read the summary of the last book (btw, Kat Medina is Filipino. Sometimes I make the mistake of thinking a character or person is Latino/a but they are Filipino. Both POC, but obviously different cultures. I may be one of the few people who do this though.) It is creepy, but it happens and it's an intriguing topic!<br /><br />I was thinking of doing something along those lines too; I've learned so much :) Aww i'm so glad your excited. I just have to think of a super awesome giveaway that says thank you to my followers along with a post that's not too sappy or discombobulated. lolMissAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11042352415616854651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-57186584642011851322010-04-23T14:47:34.380-05:002010-04-23T14:47:34.380-05:00Ari, this cover doesn't look POC to me!

But either way I am looking forward to this book --even though it's so creepy when a 23 yr old wants a 16 yr old! Eighteen, people, EIGHTEEN!!! <br /><br />I'm really excited for your blogoversary! I remember that for Sarah's (Green Bean Teen Queen) blogoversary, she wrote down a few tips/advice that she learned during her first year as a blogger along with her giveaway. I thought that was a great idea!Kris (Voracious YAppetite)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17764644281859703177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255886452367019317.post-33638206508049172422010-04-22T20:39:00.472-05:002010-04-22T20:39:00.472-05:00@carrie-Yay!

I think I'm going to re-read some of the books I read when I was first starting out and maybe re-review them or add to their reviews since I didn't start out writing well-written reviews and I only had full ratings, not half. Oooo that would be wonderful, thank you!<br /><br />@Jenny-Thanks! Always miss yours? Sounds like you've been blogging for awhile! Understandable with it being Christmastime.
