So today, March 15th, is my wedding anniversary. My hubby (yes, I said hubby) said he remembers our anniversary because it falls on March 15th. It’s funny he can remember a soothsayer’s warning to Julius Caesar to when we got married. LOL.

If I read one more comment on YouTube or some other social media where you have Filipinos say, “So proud to be Filipino”, I am going to scream. Seriously, is it a Filipino thing? Please don’t get me wrong. While I’m very proud of who I am and where my family came from, all this talk about being proud simply because we’re Filipino is pretty annoying.

When Filipinos achieve a certain amount of success whether they’re a singer, actor, dancer, what have you, without fail, other Filipinos comment as if they had something to do with it. They’ll directly link their success to the fact they’re Filipino. Hello, my Filipino people. If Filipinos do well for themselves, it’s due to their hard work and determination. It has nothing to do with their being Filipinos. Please remember that.

I’ve always been the type of person who would be the first to lend a hand to someone when they needed it. Far too often, I have given my all and expected nothing in return, BUT sometimes I wish people would be considerate and do the same for me. I know I’m to blame and I have to remind myself that I come first. And if you don’t put yourself first then no one will.
