Philippines in The Future: A funny Perception
We went to a mall in our city after our feeding program last Saturday. After a long walk at the mall, we decided to sit in the food court and ate the junk foods that we bought below. While eating, we exchanged some experiences in our lives and we ended having a topic about what will be Philippines in the future.
We know that Philippines is still very dependent from other countries. I hate to admit this but without them, Philippines will be nothing. Sad but true. Philippines export Filipinos to the other countries to become domestic helpers therefore leaving behind their families for the sake of good salaries in exchange for their efforts. Instead of helping their own country, they have no choice but work abroad for it offers them more than Philippines can offer to its worker.
If Philippines will be rich as them, there will be a time when it will be importing some domestic helpers from different countries. Therefore, Filipinos will be the bosses and the foreigners will be their helpers. Just imagine a filipino having a helper like the beauty of a Brazilian model wearing uniform, bringing the things bought in a mall while following their bosses with a beauty of a native filipino (dark-skinned, flat nose, voluminous lips, and doesn't know how to dress and make up herself properly) will be outrageous to look at.
It is already in the Philippine culture that we admire most the beauty of foreigners than our own because long ago when the foreigners were still invading our country, we got used to the thought that they are more superior than us because of their skin tone and wealth. We, the Filipinos, who are fond of imitating the others will never obtain progress I suppose. In order to obtain such progress, we should believe and love ourselves first.

fRiEnDs???
There were just few of them whom I considered real friends. Nowadays, it was really hard to find someone whom you can trust and lean on. It's just that I have already witnessed some betrayals between my friends and I suddenly told myself that I was really wrong to give my trust on them. I'm wondering that someday they might do the same on me or worst they were already doing that on me without my knowledge.
You might meet them on the streets and they can somehow manage to greet and smile at you but when they have already turned their backs, you don't know that you have already been back stabbed. How ironic! What's the use of making friends when you don't even try to understand and accept their differences??? Make sense???
I hate those people who change their feelings with time. They are often called selfish. They will just like you when they can still have some benefits on you and leave you at the end when they can no longer use you. I hope I was not wrong to choose those people whom I called "friends " right now.
It really hurts me so much to see my ex-friends who just passed me by as if they don't know me, as if we haven't spent time together. Some of them have already gone with time. Maybe they are already happy with their newly found friends. I can't blame them if they don't want me anymore. I guess, I have to accept my fate as a loner; always in the place of darkness where I'm hoping that someday someone might pick me up and give me the light I always wanted.
All I need are true, real, & genuine friend. Someone who will not leave me at the midst of a battle. Someone who is brave enough to accept my differences. I hope that someday I could find one but I guess that would be very impossible.;(
An Introduction to 2010
Whew! It had already been a month since I have posted something on this blog. Well, there's a lot that happened to me during those days of break.(murag d to sya break..lolz) I've been very busy these past few days. And those calvary, which I thought I'll never accomplish, has finally ended. Thank God. I would never make it without Him. Cheers to that!;)
Hmm. What more else I could say? Ahm. I just thank God that he has given me another year of challenges & struggles that would probably make me a better better person and I just hope I would overcome those stuffs.
For the meantime, I will just be relaxing since there were no tasks to work on. And I would appreciate if there will be some things to do cause I want to make myself busy so that I can forget those things that pressure me so much such as money, love, home, friends, etc. Duh. Uber!! hahaha. Good luck to me and the others.
