View Full Version : The Ziyi Bootleg Saga Continues

Okay, going back to topic....
Since the Philippines has a strong relation with China at the time of CTHD, the Chinese has been wielding a strong influence on Filipino culture that would endure the American and Japanese occupation. Then until now, Filipinos would munch on noodles and dumplings, and they would call elder siblings 'ate' or 'kuya' (much like 'gege' or 'meimei' in Mandarin). And, of course, that predilection for Jacky Chan and kung fu or shaolin movies. This explains why CTHD has enjoyed success in the Philippines.

On my globe the place is written PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
Filipinos come from the PHILIPPINE ISLANDS?

Yep. I don't know why you replace the Ph with the F when talking about the people though.

China has Chinese.
Germany has Germans.
Philippines have Filipinos? This doesn’t follow. There must me an explanation. Let’s try to find it.
Italian citizens aren’t called Italios.
What’s up with Filipinos?
BootlegZiyi
June 7th, 2003, 04:09 PM
Italians are Italians :laugh:
I'm not sure why it's defined as "Filipino" or "Filipina" instead of "Philipino". Maybe the same for "Pinoy" and "Pinay", because it's a guy/girl term? I need to catch up with the Filipino study, hehe. My favorite Filipino food siopao was influenced by the Chinese, that's all I know :D It's called Bao.

During the Spanish colonial rule (378 years, 1592-1889), the population had been introduced to the Spanish language. The population were then called "Filipinos" after the country "Las Islas Felipinas."
At the Treaty of Versailles when "Las Islas Felipinas" (named after the Spanish monarch Felipe II) was ceded by Spain to the U.S., the name was Anglicized to "The Philippines" (King Philip II) to reflect the change. However, the original spanish name Filipino with an "F" when referring to the people, to the race, and to nationality remained.

I thought maybe it was a Catholic/pagan thing.

Joy got it right...except on one point. It was the 1899 Treaty of Paris, not the 15th century Treaty of Tordesillas. However, the 'Philippines' or 'the Philippine Islands' was already in use by the early years of the 19th century.
As for 'Pinoy/Pinay'...well, it has something to do with how Pinoys (like me) give nicknames. It's a hangover from the colonial times when a woman named Trinidad would be named 'Trining' and a man named Benigno would be called 'Ninoy' (got it? :cool:). Nowadays, people just call each other nicknames English/American-style.
zzb: 'Siopao' is still Chinese, as far as I can remember, because in Manila most Chinese businessmen speak Fookienese, not Mandarin. :D

June 9th, 2003, 09:57 PM
Ah, ok. Well it's my favorite Chinese food then :D

In my recent trip to Australia, i met an elderly australian couple who were trying to figure out what my nationality was... they thought i was chinese....hahaha... and to my surprise some people didn't even know where the Philippines was/or what it is...they only knew Manila...hehe :grin:

Editorial Review
Charming Chou Chou is a dear little baby doll just the right size and weight for little mommies to cuddle. She has a soft cloth body and high-quality, molded vinyl head, arms, and legs, with sweetly curled fingers and toes. Chou Chou has brown blinking eyes with long lashes and an open mouth so her thumb will fit inside. When she tires of her thumb, she can suck on the pacifier attached to her outfit with a pink chain and teddy bear clip. Chou Chou wears a disposable diaper and a pink checked romper suit and matching cap printed with tiny teddy bears, and a tiny cloth teddy bear is tied to one wrist. Her extra outfit is a white playsuit with blue checked trim and matching stocking cap. Both Chou Chou and her attractive clothing are made of the highest-quality materials, with thoughtful attention paid to every detail. --Marcie Bovetz

The Duncan update:
http://zzbootleg.digitalrice.com/journal/sleepydome.txt http://zzbootleg.digitalrice.com/journal/duncantired.txt
Recuperating from a laceration near his right eye. It has stitches, he had a portion of it removed but the vet will remove them next week. The cone around his neck prevents him from scratching at his stitches. He was given two medications, one for his eyes and an oral medication. He's feeling better! He's still full of life and very energetic too. He'll be neutered as soon as the stitches and cone come off.
As for me, I'm going on a road trip to Sacramento/San Francisco from the 14th-17th! I'll take some pics with my disposible digital camera I saved up two months ago. You Zhangsters must be all caught up with Ziyi's movies and promos :D Hope you all are doing well.

like how giant-massive-black holes, often thought to be the bad guys, were the key to start, black hole giveth then taketh away.
The one at the centre of our galaxy has started feeding again, but no problem, its just chewing up some gas that got too close. I like the concept that it ate so fast that it becomes dorment, forms a solar wind buffer so stars don't get too close for awhile.
our galaxy will colide with its neighbour in 3 billion years
i wonder, what actually happens to the black holes, in such circumstance, do they merge???? do they eat each other up????, are they like salamanders and the larger one, even if by a fraction, survives and becomes stronger etc on the digestion of the other?
when i throw that rubber of CG's into the centre of the galaxy, does it ever come back ( do i have to buy CG a new one? should be ok if i attach a piece of string to it )
where am i leading you may ask????
or not?????
all things have a consequence
so, now the discovery of the concept of the bootleg bootleg
what impact does this have on our cosmo's
does the beginning and end of the universe, have its own bootleg, and bootlegs thereafter?
:confused:
i conclude, a bootleg bootleg, is quite a natural occurence
that presents as many questions as it does answers

All beer, pizza and ice cream also enter the black hole, leaving only gaseous artifacts at the end. They only require near proximity for the black hole to exert its inexorable gravitational forces to consume them.
Such is the fate of all beer, pizza and ice cream, especially when the absence of light (aka: blackout) triggers the black hole into action. There are an infinite number of parallel bootleg universes with similar phenomena, but only the blackholes of this universe are bombarded by Z radiation, which forms a time-warp tunnel between these universes.
No one really knows what happens to all this beer, pizza and ice cream once they enter the time-space continuum of a black hole, but there are theories that say it all ends up in a backlot at Universal Studios.

You must realize the value of gender ambiguity.
As ZZB you must project the image of a slim, elegant, transgender, quasi-female, danger dodging, adrenaline-stoked, adventure person.
You need to appeal to strong females...and the weak male elements in your audience. Your audience will attempt to live their lives through your exploits.
Didn’t they teach you that at Wushu school?
BootlegZiyi
August 21st, 2003, 03:49 AM
I don't think they taught us that at Wushu school, but I had a feeling they might. There aren't enough women in Wushu, especially in the classes I've been going to, the number of students decrease every other time I go there, it's like people don't want to learn and get a workout. I do think women should be motivated enough to get into a competitive sport like Wushu. It will make them feel good about themselves.
As for me BC, I do believe that I can wear ties or business suits and make men intimidated by my appearance :bigwink: I just looked at the "Danger Girl" picture you made and it reminded me of how much of a baddy I can be, or how much I enjoy life. Practicing Wushu is one of my favorite things to do.

A plastic sword swung real hard could hurt someone yeah, but it just can't measure up to Japanese steel. ;-)
Speaking of fake swords, I was in one of those knife & cutlery stores awhile back where they have sword replicas from various movies & TV shows(LOTR,Highlander, CTHD, etc)and I asked if they had a Green Destiny. The guy said "Sure" and went and got it, A plastic blade with length and width of blade that did not match the real sword. What was at least if not more disappointing than that was that the blade didn't have the high polished shine or that cool little sound effect that both the Green Destiny and The Bride's(KB) sword made when being pulled out of its sheath. That high pitched ssssschwiiiiiiiiinnnnggg sound.

Well I do have a Green Destiny replica but it's a decorative sword, a nice addition to my so-called sword collection. If you tap it just right, I think it does make that movie sword sound. It amazed me when I did that :cool: I tried looking for plastic replicas, couldn't find a thing (maybe those LOTR swords, which look great on display). The Bride's sword is very nice, especially with that lion etched into it.

of my swords, the one with the most dramatic sound is one of my combat standard broadswords, most interesting because its one of a matched pair, the other doesn't have that "movie" sound.
I used have a very old katana, which i gave as a gift of respect to an individual i felt deserved it and could give it due care and appreciation.
I always thought was an eerie sound and feel, for the only sounds it made were light blowing wind, and on contact with other weapons made a thud.

Yes it did have English subtitles :) I don't think it was a bootleg, I think it came directly from Hong Kong. I checked when I got it in the mail, it had three Hong Kong stamps and Chinese writing in the back of the envelope. It was also tied shut with string and tape.

i like this quote is good from website
"The Zhang Ziyi Bootleg is a 19 year-old Asian-American who resembles the Asian actress, Zhang Ziyi. She does however want to start an acting career and learn a foreign language, but she wouldn't mind being dubbed as the next "Little Zhang Ziyi". The difference: ZZB speaks fluent English, she is a young prodigy, and she is only 5-foot-1.
On second thought, she is the little Zhang Ziyi simply because she is childish, feisty, and she knows what she wants in life. "

Bootleg, why did you turn agnostic, I am just curious.
I was raised Roman-Catholic too and went through a little agnostic stage. I guess it was more against my parents then against the faith now that I look back.
BootlegZiyi
January 28th, 2004, 01:15 AM
I'm not against the Catholic faith. Maybe this is a phase. My mother used to tell me bad things about church before/after I had even attended. Later on I found out my great grandfather (on my mother's side) was a minister and that's why she had practiced so many religious things in her life. She even made up prayers; I thought that was ridiculous because it was not apart of any prayer book whatsoever. I also thought of being Buddhist after that. My b/f is Buddhist and I asked him about the religion. He just tells me that his father goes to the temple to pray. I have thought of taking Buddhist prayer into consideration; for now I am just agnostic.
I don't like talking about it when people ask, but I'm glad you brought it up.

read the file.
But I could read this...
A bootleg can be a resemblance, a look-a-like, a doppleganger, a stunt-double, or a clone to any actual celebrity. These people may or may not look exactly 100% like their favorite celebrity, but they have good reasons on being a great look-a-like. These bootlegs are unique in their own way (at least unique enough not to be like their favorite celebrity).
