No one really knows what lies ahead..FFF might just be again dead...Management hasn't done anything extraordinary, attract members return on this website with glee. Marketing strategies need changed, but who's in charge, there is no name. They are lucky, members like us, one or two; Still visit this place and blog anew. Loyalty unrecognized, nor given something nice, and yet, we're still here doing what we love, without a prize.....

People of Color....the stigma

I know this topic is quite sensitive, but it is happening all over the world and we cannot just ignore it. I lived in South Bronx, New York for more than 12 years, and most of the inhabitants of that borough are people of color ( Black African-Americans, Black Latinos, Asian-Americans etc. ). Why did I include Asians? YES! because brown colored Asians such as Filipinos, Indians, Pakistanis, Sri-Lankans, Cambodians, Indonesians, and others are considered Black people, at least in America, because of the color of the skin, being NOT WHITE.
And what hurts most is that Black people are being labeled as aggressive, trouble makers, lazy, very sensitive, uneducated, looters,and whatever negative adjectives they can describe us and we are the center of racism and hatred. Black people are minorities and for that reason, the American government is being accused of 'White Supremacy"...
Personally speaking, I have nothing against Black people, but I do not want to be dragged into their kind, because I am Asian, and I have my own identity from my ethnicity and as an individual. I am against racial-profiling and I truly abhor the idea of Asian Hate. All Lives Matter! If only we all learn to respect, and love one another, the world will be a better place to live....

Relatives versus Virtual/Cyber Friends

I honestly, am one of those who are not very close to_ relatives because I did not grow up with them, and was seen by them only as a source of help in their daily expenditures and financial needs. Feeling genuinely loved is something I am craving/longing for, regardless of my ability to_ be a resource person. Which is why, when I joined this website, FFF, long time ago, it was such a blessing knowing and yes, meeting in person after years of cyberfriendship, very selected educated, smart, and loving people were members of this site. It tremendously gave me a feeling of community and belongingness. Isn't that ironic? For this reason, I do not look forward to_ retiring in the Philippines or even excited to_ see relatives with whom I am not mutually emotionally attached to_. I do not know if anyone here can relate.

I Can Still Feel .......

After so many of feeling mutual about an emotion defined as too close to be called "romantic" and yet treated only as "platonic" or being soulmates, the other person eventually feels tired of waiting for the next level to set in, which later converts into a feeling of rejection. Next thing you know, he withdraws, and just stops. You probably are still connected by social media such as , but there is no way you can tell if he viewed your posts because he does not leave any footprints such as "like, heart, etc.
So, what do you do? You still want the person the way things were with you, but he does not settle for less than his expectation, but you just have the hunch that he is just still there, and the feeling is still there..

Gone are the days when a wife used to_ be domesticated, and obedient to_ her husband's rules in all aspects. She would clean the house, watch the , cook, do errands, and be ready in the evening when hubby feels being intimate. No excuses! Nowadays, women work, have their taken care of by nannies or grandparents, or dropped off to_ day care and picked up after work. Dinner will be mostly take out or home delivery. Women have the right to_tell their husbands that they are too_ tired to_ have sex and cannot be forced otherwise. Some other changes are: the wife can demand the husband to_ help in the house chores, and care of . She can control his bank account, his emails, snail mails, and yes! demands that they have only one social media account to_ avoid being exposed to_ temptations or infidelity. To_ some, it is a mutual agreement, while some men feel that they are not being trusted, and are being choked. Personally speaking, I can see a lot of advantages to_this arrangement, but I still prefer some kind of personal space and privacy. Maybe, it's just me. What do you think?

People keep on whining and complaining about so many things in their life that they often forget how blessed they are compared to_ the rest of the world..Specially during this time of pandemic, we cannot afford to_ be picky, to_ be wasting things specially the basic needs in life. I always told my when he used to_ live with me , NOT to_ waste on food because a lot of people hardly eat once a day. Even the bottled water which is more expensive than gasoline ( for real! ) some people just prefer to_buy from the expensive vending machine instead of bringing the ones they have from home ( bought from wholesale stores ), that, or not finishing the bottle and then, opening another one. We take so many things for granted, including relationships. We realize their importance once they are gone! You know the saying : "Somebody's trash, is somebody's fortune." So, I guess, we need to_ maximize and utilize our resources well, and know what's important, and what is not... just saying

I am a senior citizen by world standard. OR is it just a number?   Not that I am in self-denial, but sometimes, I get so serious about it, thinking, pretty soon, I will be one of those who shrunk, wrinkled, and demented...Geeesh!  But, we are gonna go there...and actually, we are lucky if we ever get that stage, because others quite did not make it...So, depending your attitude, and self-worth, we might just as well, enjoy every moment of being one....It can get funny though, but, we are here....

Broken.....

My parents were separated when I was 6 . I did not grow up with my siblings. Being the youngest, I was the only one my Mom took with her when she returned to_Manila where she was born. Since then, I only got to_ see my brothers and sisters once every 3-4 years on brief vacations. Needless to_ say, we were not close, and they have developed ill feelings with my mom for "abandoning" them as they had to_ live with our relatives, and had to_ work for them in exchange for food, shelter, and education. Life was mostly harsh for them, but they lived through it, and had succeeded in their own rights. There were 5 of us, now only 4 ( my brother just passed away last March 6 of this year ). Out of 5,two of us were not lucky in married life. The one that passed away and myself also failed in matrimonial aspect.
I learned my lesson the hard way, and I have been living alone for the most part of my life. With only one , it wasn't very hard for me to_ survive. Thank God for giving the wisdom and for giving a profession that could provide me and my family a comfortable life. When I was a lot younger, I had thought of getting into another relationship, but for the second time, got hurt. Since then, it has been very difficult to_trust anyone. Until I got to_ the point where I don't feel the need to_ be with someone else ever again. I was broken, and I am mended....not wanting to_ be broken again...
