Happy choose day my dearest read cash buddies! I hope you do all had a great day today.
My brother and I are planning to get vaccinated today because we badly need it for school since they said that face-to-face classes will start to open next year and we both don't want to skip school just because we're unvaccinated. We woke up early because our mum told us to and wanted us to have an early spot in the line. We arrived at 7 AM and as we got to the place, we were shocked at how crowded the area was. Yes, we already expected that there would be a lot of people, but we didn't expect that it would turn out like this. The crowd has gone crazy, social distancing is no longer implemented, and there are even some people not wearing masks. A lot of people have gone mad because they've been falling in line since the sun hasn't shown up, but until now they haven't gotten their vaccine because the newcomers were the ones getting the vaccine first, which caused the commotion. My brother and I decided to go home and be back on Friday, hoping that it would not be the same as what happened today.
Every typical Filipino parents be like (except my parents) : " You are our precious gem and you will marry a foreign guy and live a better life." HAHAHA
Did your parents or relatives ever say those words to you? At every family gathering, there is always that one relative or aunt who will ask you if you are in a relationship. Why is that?
I like family gatherings and I hate them at the same time. It's because all of your relatives will be around and talk about lots of random stuff like school, career, and the future. And I hate it. It irritates me whenever they mention it or when they talk about me. Whenever we have family gatherings, I avoid approaching my professional aunts and uncles because they will immediately start talking about my career and what path I should be pursuing. Like, c'mon guys. LOL.
And aside from that, the most common question that you will get from your relatives at every family gathering is the question, "Do you have a boyfriend?" "Who's your boyfriend?" Sometimes I just get along with that and make fun of it. I even made fun of them by telling them that I don't have a boyfriend but I do have a girlfriend, and their reactions were so funny! And they're like, "What the heck, you're a lesbian?" and I was like, "Yes, I am." And their reactions are worth laughing at.
My nanay, who is my grandma's cousin, would always tell me this line: "You're so pretty, you really meant to marry a foreign guy with blue eyes and have a very pretty baby and live a happy family life." Every time she said these words to me, I would just laugh. And sometimes I asked her, "Why do I have to marry a blue-eyed guy?". She will answer me with something like, "you have to marry a blue-eyed guy so that we can have a foreign grandchild, just like your aunt, who married an Australian, but sadly, they still do not have a child. Maybe you'll be the first one to bring us a baby foreign child. " All I did was laugh at her. I thought to myself, I don't even like having a kid. I hate kids, how much more having one? LMAO.
But maybe in the future, when I am old enough, I'll find someone that I truly like and end up getting married and having kids. We wouldn't know and we couldn't predict what the future would be like.
Why do most old folks think this way? I mean, not just the oldies, but most of our other Filipino relatives too. I hate the thought that they always say that marrying a foreign guy can take you out of poverty. Such a toxic mindset. Like, what the heck? If you work hard enough, then you will get yourself out of poverty and can't just depend on someone else.
Why is it that most Filipinos think that way? It is too sad to think that most of our fellow Filipino people would also be the ones to talk sht about other filipino people marrying non-Filipino people. Hays.
