here is a post from a friend of mine (Dominicana en L.A.) with the latest news on a get together celebration for our independence day..

To all of you who are trying to meet some Dominicans in LA, I just got informed by the Dominican Club president that we will be celebrating 27 de Febrero @ the Hollywood Park Casino, February 25th, tickets are selling for $20.00, including the food and they will be having one of the best Dominican DJ in LA, Pedro el Sabroso. He was the DJ at this Downtown club called Grand Avenue for many years. He can really bring it down when it comes to music!! I'm very excited. Please feel free to contact me if you need any info igarcia@quislaw.com. I can't wait to meet some of you!!!

Oh, Oh!! Yo voy a hablar por mi solamente! Mil excusas si he ofendido, pero la unica razon por la cual yo he escrito en Ingles, es porque me he dado cuenta que la mayoria de personas que escriben en DR1, no importando desde cual estado se comuniquen tambien lo hacen. Ademas tu tambien tienes que entender que hay muchas personas las cuales no hablan Español, pero que de una manera u otra se sienten Dominicanos o tienen algun interes en nuestra cultura, y nosotros no somos quienes para deprivarlos a ellos de querer seguir lo nuestro. Y yo si soy Dominicana que vive en LA, sigo muy de cerca mi cultura y lo que pasa en mi pais, me encanta hablar mi lengua, respeto la opinion de los demas, pero tambien me encanta que otras personas de otras nacionalidades se interesen por mi pais, y no me importa en que lengua ellos hablen o se sientan a gusto expresandose siempre tratare de hacer lo mejor para ayudarles. !!!

NOW IN ENGLISH!!!

Oh, Oh!! I' going to speak for myself only! My apologies if for any reazon I have offended anybody by not expressing myself in English when writing to this forum, but the only reason why I've done it is because I have noticed that most of the people who do post in it, do it in English!! No matter where they are writing from!! Plus you must understand that not everybody in this forum speaks Spanish, and we Dominicans should be proud of others been interested in our culture or our country by any means and we have no rights to deprive them of their interests. And Yes, I'm a Dominican living in LA, I do follow my culture and what's going on in my country very clossely, I do respect other people's interests but formost I love the fact that there are other people from different nationalities trying to be in contact with us; and no matter what language they are belong too, I will try to help them get the best of my country.

BlancoOsiris,

Tampoco te quiero ofender, pero si te molesta tanto que la gente escriben en ingles, no deje mensajes en esta tela (thread). Aqui no hay reglas de que idioma debemos de escribir, not every "Dominican" knows how to articulate as well in grammar like other "Dominicans" (como yo) but I can assure you that we are all just as "Orgulloso."

I'm going to chime in too!

I joined this forum to become connected to other dominicans in my area, not to be put down 'cause I dont write in spanish. The idea here is to get to know each other, so can we just get along?

[David Heredia]

Hey Sucar,

What area are you in again?

[sucar]

live in Korea town/ work in Downtown

reply to post #33 because I did not take him seriously. If anyone is bold enough to ask complete strangers to have pride in, and use, what he assumes is their native language, he/she should at least have command of that language.

No participo en conversaciones negativas porque son contraproducentes. Hay suficiente sitios virtuales para entretener ese tipo de conversacion; este no es uno de ellos.

Btw, I'm thinking of going to the 27 de febrero celebration at Hollywood Park on the 25th., anyone else?

Hello...
I will like to thanks every one who has responded to my message... I see that a truthful criticism has encourage many of your opinion to something that it substantially an issue in some of your life. I did not made the comment to make any one feel inferior or to put some one down, but to see if there were still people here with our beautiful accent, with many people always complement out of me.
If I have offended any one please accept my apologies, it was not my intention,
I have been in LA for only 5 month, I came to this city for vacation only and I’m still here. I work for Pep Boys, and I used to work for my father before.
One more time, I apologize if I have offended anyone one, and if you will like to know the kind of family I descent from please read the article in the link I provide.
