Observations in life
Ms. Dallal has tagged me and I wish I could write as lovely as her.
1. Yes, the Philippines is a developing nation and we do have serious socioeconomic political issues but we aren't freaking savages. We do have malls and lots of them and our McDonald's look like first class restaurants compared to what you've got in the US.
2. Not all Filipinos can sing. It's a freaking myth. Do you know how many people were murdered this past year alone for trying to sing Frank Sinatra's "My Way"?
3. Because of the Hollywood baby boom, a lot of women have decided on having babies of their own. Children are not tiny pocket toy dogs. They are not fashion accessories that you can wear when it's hip and stuff under a trunk somewhere when you tire of them. I hate seeing women show the world that they're the best mom but really, they're more into partying than early childhood development. Case in point: Stop drinking freaking mojitos and tequila shots when you're breastfeeding!
4. The stereotype of Filipina/foreigner relationships grate my nerves like you won't believe. Filipinas who marry foreigners are mostly on the extreme scale. You're either part of the ultra rich crowd or you're a former prostitute/maid/nanny. About 78% come from the latter so, people immediately assume you're a maid/nanny/former prostitute when you're dating a foreigner. Sheesh...
5. I don't understand the fascination Filipinas have with vampiric white complexion. They spend thousands and thousands of pesos to have their skin tone lightened to the consistency of flour. Why??!! Are you that dysmorphic about your own body? Meanwhile, our "white" counterparts spend equally obscene amounts of dollars to have their skin tanned (which most of the time comes out orange).
I'm pretty sure I got more where that came from but I've just got up and my kids are begging to be put down for their morning nap.
