Piedra
I was with the Gang! It was a packed night. I was actually doing my homework at home when nathan suddenly gave me ring. My sister also gave me a buzz. I couldn't resist the offer so I had to grace the event. The crowd was fun but there seemed to be a lot of college freshmen. They were so obvious. They could not seem to control themselves.
Next thing I noticed was the invasion of the drop dead gorgeous Brazilians. Man were they hot and sizzling. Perfect creatures! But frankly am starting to get sick of them. I see them on the boobtube, magazines, billboards, practically everywhere. We are actually treating them like Gods already. I hate how we Filipino's have this stupid colonial mentality. We have so many top, class-A models but why do we always end up adoring these white fine looking specimens who are trash in their own country. Notice why we never had a tanning lotion advertised on television? That is because we are so damn trying hard to look like them white specimens who are no better than us.
Sorry, I am no racist. I just had a brush of nationalism when I debated with my U.P. graduate professor regarding Graphic Designing. I tried to package indigenous barako coffee beans in a very western manner. My concept was to actually deceive the clients by making the package look like a foreign product. My activist professor did not agree with my concept and thus the long debate happened. She stated her point and I stated my point. In the end we both stuck with our own points but it also got me thinking. Why are we so afraid to be Filipino? Well there are a hundred million reasons why it sucks to be Filipino but on the other hand there is also as much reasons why it's great to be Filipino. I think it all boils down to each individuals choice and experiences. For me I choose to embrace my being Filipino. Thus, my-self realization of how much Brazilian beauties in the Philippines are killing Filipino beauties.
Chilling Out in Cuisine
I was in Cuisine last Saturday. I was with Fiona my bestfriend who just got home from Vegas. I was with my sister Bon and Raffy. We had dinner in Cafeteria then drank till the wee hours of the night in Cuisine. It was people spotting in Cuisine. I saw a lot of celebrities, socialites and wannabe socialites. It was fun observing random people who had their own thing going in their own little corner.
It was fun because I saw people from my high school. I miss Southville International School. Bohooo. I miss high school. It had so much drama and emotions going on. EMO was the word that best describes high school. Hahaha
Okay. So much random thoughts. Am getting tired I will sign of soon. Well, maybe not soon. Actually I will sign-off now.
