Earlier today, went out to accompany Nanay and did some errands.. while going to town on our lil potpot, I have overheard their conversation.. This doesn’t include Nanay though but I have heard them talking about Filipinas marrying foreigners and how foreigners helped their family out like this couple one knew back in the day with 21 kids and the women were married to foreigners and they have, big houses, farms, and all those things one could have when they have the “money”. And out of the blue, someone blurted out: “Filipinas should marry foreigners and not Filipinos.. coz Filipino men are poor and have no money.”
Talk about irony: He is married(well not legally like they’re only living together but has a kid) and his wife/partner has a foreigner boyfriend. Ouch. SMH.
My intention with this post is not to demean once again, but just share what reality is.. I am a Filipino, and used to be with someone different from my own skin and race but it was never my intention to milk out of him and use him for money. I know, they would always say to be practical, but it isn’t practical and will never be practical to be with someone you would only want to take advantage of and use him or her for something, for your own good. I don’t think the word relationship was defined that way.
Anyway, it’s just too bad for this kind of people really, not that I am being judgmental.. I know we all have our reasons. But if one’s reason is to have someone for their own benefits, I don’t think it would even last. Kindness begets kindness, and we are all accountable to all our actions, we may not get what we deserve here, but Somewhere with capital S, we will. 🙂
pray. love. live. laugh.
