I had this question a long time ago, maybe I had formulated this one back when I was in college. Why do many Filipinas want to marry Americans? A very friend of mine is one example I can think of. She has all the accounts in the world like cherryblossoms, pinayheart and etcetera, etcetera. She broke up with her American boyfriend 3 years ago and never had the chance to find a new one. She is good looking no doubt about that. We found out recently, that the reason she never dated other men is the fact the she wanted to marry an American. She said she wants to have beautiful kids. Well, that's according to her. But as for me, NO. It's just way too hard. Two different people. Two diverse cultures. There were numerous cases that the relationship worked smoothly, but more often than not, it all ended up Filipina-taking-care-of-her-sickly-husband or Filipina-turned-into-a-housmaid-rather-than-becoming-a-wife scenario.
I went to the mall yesterday to have my nails done. And while I was on my way to the shop, I met this girl. She looked young and pretty, and when you looked at her, you would think that there could be a bright future waiting for this lass. But to my dismay and consternation she was pushing her husband's wheelchair. See my point? I am not being judgemental or do I sound bitter? Bitter because I am unwanted and unloved? Now this sounds bitter. LOL.
But my point really is, I could not love a person or simply pretend to love the person just to justify my life. I know I am not making any sense again. I should get more sleep. Ciao.
