It is funny how people would jumped in defense without really looking deeper into a situation .. or the blogging material and am so ready to wear an armor and defend their own kind. I was once upon a time this way too.. but not anymore… i always take at least a day.. to soak and decipher before acting on stuff now. Maybe i’m getting old eh.
It took me a few days to pen down my thoughts about the post about Asians marrying the “whites” and what exactly was on their mind. Maybe I worded it wrongly .. but my concern was the young Asian women out there .. coming here with hopes and dreams that may not come true. Marrying a foreigner is not your regular fairy-tale, Cinderalla story, some may not find your Prince.
As Girlie from HipnCoolMomma had pointed out that there are many successful union.. of the younger Asian gals.. and the older “white” man… and I’ve no doubt about it. C’mon.. i too am married to one.. and I too have a somewhat successful union (i would like to think).
This is not targeted to just the Filipinas .. but seeing a cousin advertising for her younger cousin of 20 yrs of age, sorta irks me. Maybe it’s the way it was worded..?? maybe because she is a beautiful young lady, maybe because I’m someone who marry a “white”. But life is hard in a foreign country. I cannot speak for others.. but i sure miss home like hell. In retrospect, I am very lucky and blessed to have met a good man.. who didn’t beat me up.. or grope me in public.. or swear at me.. or who is a drinker.. nor a gambler.. or someone who expects me to have a kid every year so we can all collect welfare. Basically, I didn’t get a monster for a spouse but what about those who “might” not meet the right guy ..??
