Good morning (magandang umaga) from the Philippines! My name is Kuneho Mocha Tomiko, but you can just call me Kuneho. It means ârabbitâ in my mother tongue. I chose it because I had a gray rabbit pet called Dusty, and while he has already been given away to my uncle in the province, Iâm still fond of him. Heâs a big part of my identity, because, just like him, he represents freedom because he moved to the countryside. I am a country bumpkin myself, and I prefer not to be a city-dweller due to the overwhelming effects it has on my mind. Iâm also currently studying in an art college. Iâm a Filipino with Japanese and Chinese ancestry further down back in the family line. As of now, Iâm reading the History Book of Asia by Rhoads Murphey, and Iâm borrowing a book called Cambridge History of Japan because itâs part of the recommended further readings in the first book that I mentioned.
I am one that likes to promote, inform people about, and ultimately share about my unique culture in this uniquely globalizing world. I am one to believe that discovering about oneâs mother culture can lead to unique insights about oneself, though I am careful to think that it is not the only identifier in this world that seems to be getting even more vastly complex by the day.
I love traveling, and I do love to learn languages. I grew up in Singapore from ages 3-12. Ever since I was 11 years old, Iâve been studying French, Japanese, some German, Korean, etc. Right now, I want to learn Dutch, too.
I love Kero Kero Bonito. I want to study music, too, if I can. But for now, Iâm just studying graphic design, illustration, etc. Iâve made a bunch of remixes for school, but Iâm afraid I canât publish them because the songs Iâve used in the mashups are copyright-protected. But, if you want anything to discover thatâs under my copyright, you may check out my Instagram page as Eurikaileidoscope. Youâll be able to find me under the name âKUNEHO THE CHILDâ⦠because thatâs what I am, hehe. I have loving parents who love and adore me as I was a child, because itâs part of my unique Kuneho culture thatâs rooted deeply in Filipino culture. The term I have for it is âpagkakabataâ. Asians are really an ancient people, and Iâm glad Iâve gotten to discover its ancient-ness in the book of History of Asia by Rhoads Murphey. Although I was born in 2001, I do like reading books from the 90s, especially research and history books⦠I feel thereâs a certain tone of language that accompanies the writersâ voices that are distinct and remarkably nostalgic.
