Haha, my family has never really quite followed the Western way of doing things; our traditions, beliefs, values...all lean more towards the Chinese/Asian way.

Back in primary my classes all had under ten, or in some cases five, non-Asian people. And it's almost the same case now. And compared to my mum, she works in an office with practically no Asian people.

Basically what I want to say is that it'll be hard for people like us to adapt. And maybe also be accepted. In a Western society.

But the thing is, despite wanting to...well...Westernise...I'd still be proud of my Asian heritage, and wouldn't want to let it...well, go.

I think that's the same for most people. That of course includes myself. I am by many means, still very very very Chinese ( ... )

Oh my lord. Truly?

Yes. It hard for people to really elaborate. Things get watered down pretty soon.

Yay~!! That's good. That would be good. I hope that change happens soon. I'm not ready for racial discrimination at work. That does make me wonder. But they go with what's better. They are like dogs in our world.

Sometimes, I personally think she is in a way. Until you've heard them, you can't quite comprehend how bad it is.

Yes, indeed. These viruses blockers are really stupid.

LoL. That's pretty amazing.

your posts still don't show up in my friends list... i wonder what's wrong with my account ( ... )

Don't worry, it's the same for most of my friend's too. Some of my friend's entries also miraculously disappeared. LJ has issues a lot of the time ( ... )

ahh~ what hunger does to a person... =_=; there's a part that i think i didn't make quite clear (or maybe i'm in "nonsense" mode again because it's past 12 right now). er... *scratches head* when I said I'm a native foreigner, i meant that i feel like a foreigner in my own country despite being born, raised and living here in the Philippines. that's why i think my case is pretty depressing, for although i love my country so much, i don't know much about it. i want to learn more, but textbooks written in Filipino makes my head spin and i'd need to use a dictionary ( ... )
