United We Stand

10:19 AM 2 Comments
Last month we went to Washington DC and I totally forgot to share the pictures in this blog. Just the same as anybody else, the main place that I was eager to visit is the White House but I was disappointed when I finally saw. It is just a plain white building. Is it just me or is it because I am not American by heart that's why I didn't get to appreciate it? Anyway I thank God for giving me the chance to be in a place that a lot of Filipinos wanted to visit.

Washington DC!


The Smithsonian Castle

The Washington Monument


The White House

Those are just some of the pictures and I am sure you don't want me to upload all of it here. lol

Say No to Racism!

4:34 PM 0 Comments
Yesteray when I was at the train I heard a very distrubing comment from an old day referring to two black teenagers. The scenario was, these two teenagers, a boy and a girl, was sitting across us came in with a packed meal from a chinese restaurant. So as they were talking and sharing the food the napkin fell on the floor.

Then here comes this old lady talking out loud who was sitting about 3 seats from us and said, "Look at them, they are throwing trash on the floor. That's why people never like them because they act as if they are not human."

And she believes that saying those things makes her more human? First thing was the napkin just fell and they didn't throw it. Second, she's just a racist that's why it is easy for her to say those words.

Racists tend to notice the mistakes of other people more often no matter how many times they do good. Because of the hate that they feel, they can only see the negative things about other race.

I just don't get the perception of racists towards other race. Because I believe that there is an equal amount of someone in each race. There are good and bad White Americans. There are good and bad Black Americans. There are good and bad Filipinos, Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans and the list goes on.

Same as the saying that "No Man is an Island", I believe that we couldn't have a better world without each and every piece of something from other race.

Just say no to racism please!
