now, I'm speaking out

This is about the 22-year old girl who was allegedly raped by 6 Americans. I really think that justice has to be done soon. This girl was abused not only physically but mentally as well. Of course, she was traumatized with what has been done to her and it will remain with her forever. Now, about the Americans...why can't they behave the way they are supposed to?! They are not in their own country, for Heaven's sake! They are just visitors here in our country. They must know how to respect our people. It's not because that they are Americans they can get out of this kind of mess. When we go to their country, we respect them and we act like visitors, because we are. But why is it that when it is their turn to go our countries (and other countries as well), they just don't behave the way they are expected to and supposed to behave. Do they think that since they are Americans, they could do whatever they can?! Oh please! Look, I am not generalizing here. It's just that, this is what I see most of the time. When I was in first year, our Social Studies teacher, Ms. Leni, told us about a similar situation. She even had this story about 2 people applying for US visa. These 2 people where being interviewed by the consul and the other one does not speak in English. The consul asked him to speak in English. But then he said that he is in the Philippines and he would speak Filipino if he wanted to. He even asked the consul as to why he needs to know how to speak English to be able to go to US while Americans need not know how to speak Filipino. See?! Do you get my point?! Yes, maybe we owe a lot to US (do we really?!) but this doesn't mean they could do anything they want to. They're not in their own territory anymore. But then, as I've said, I am NOT generalizing every American. In fact, I am still fine with the Balikatan exercises since it's also for our country. It's not bad to ask help from others. They just have to know their place.

Had nothing to do and suddenly, I felt the urge to write. :) Okay, these were just random thoughts which came to my head. Doesn't mean it's connected with my life. :)

Ano ang Saysay?

Ang mga ulap
ay dumidilim at
'di alam kung ano ang gagawin
unti-unting nararamdaman
ang pagpatak ng ulan
ano ang gagawin?
tatakbo ba o
magpapabasa
habang ika'y hinihintay?
may saysay ba
itong aking ginagawa?
dahil alam ko naman
na ika'y 'di kailanman
darating
'pagkat ika'y nakasukob na
kasama siya
kaya't sabihin mo.
may saysay pa ba?

hmmm...

Ayeen, your love personality type is ESFJ

About 11% of the U.S. population possesses the combination of traits that make up this personality type.

Being an ESFJ means that loyalty is usually what counts for you. As a result, one of the first things others are likely to notice about you is how invested you are in your relationships. You're rarely a fair-weather friend. In fact, you probably manage to keep many of your important connections with others for life. This isn't very surprising when you consider that you're the kind of person who draws much of your energy from those around you. Your warm and friendly nature is another factor that keeps others with you for the long haul. Regardless of the aspect of your life, you probably find that people naturally gravitate to you.

In relationships, you're the kind who gives your heart but keeps your wits about you. As a result, you have the stuff needed to be a strong partner. Know that you're more committed than most people are to making others happy. You'd likely give away the shirt off your back if it would help someone you care about.
