A comment made by Actor Alec Baldwin had angered Philippine Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. . The actor had commented that he would just get a mail order bride from the Philippines or Russia. The Philippines is known for many interracial marriages, particularly men from the US.

I am a Filipina, I am also married to an American. Everyone has their own opinion. I just hope, people would not generalize their judgements to every filipino people. Not everyone in the Philippines share the same values and are of different characters.

This comment made by Mr. Baldwin somehow upsets me. Although I know he was only joking, but us as Filipinos are made as the butt of the joke again.

I hope the world would see us with all the great achievements we have done, not by all the negative publicity that have been plastered all over by the media...

Again this is just my own point of view....

Updates... Busy but not gone...

Hello everyone. I know I have been out of the blogging scene for a while. Been busy with personal things. Like my mom leaving for the states and some disputes we are having at the farm...

I will also be busy with school as to I have enrolled this semester. I hope to squeeze in time for my blogging hobby. I am also so happy Manny Pacquiao won against Ricky Hatton. For you guys who don't know them, they are the best fighter at this time.

Manny had knocked out Ricky Hatton about 3 times. Twice in the first round and once in the second round. The game was over in just about 6 minutes... Quite fast... Now the pride of the Filipino people is 572 million or 12 million dollars richer, excluding the commissions he will be getting on the pay per view sales...

I am also worried and sad about the Swine flu. I hope vaccines for it would already surface. A lot of people are worried and scared that they might get this sickness...

All of you who are always traveling, be cautious. Wear masks and try not to be in close contact with people whom you suspect to have flu like symptoms. Drink plenty of water and take your vitamin c daily...

On Saturday, we will do our first circumssision. It is a community outreach prpgram in which student nurses like us are given the chance to experience and learn everything on the spot. I just hope we do well... And do it right... I am quite extatic about it. More updates next time... Ciao!!!
