Blind Faith


I'm going back to my church. Not because I believe in the Catholic Church once again, because I honestly don't. It's because maybe, just maybe, I will find myself one more time. I seemed to have lost something in me that I'm desperately trying to get back. And if going back to my church would help me retrieve that missing something, then you would find me sitting on the pew on Sundays.

Ryan asked me what the true Filipino value is. The one that is not influenced by years of being in the hands of foreigners. And it took me a while to answer. Actually, it took me a day to answer it. For the life of me, I can't seem to come up of an answer that would describe what is distinctly a Filipino value.

Then it came to me.A true Filipino value is the respect for the elders. That value is definitely missing from the American culture.

Work is giving me a lot of stress right now. I don't like my co-workers. They say a lot of offensive things to me that makes me cringe, or most often than not, ruffle my feathers. I swear, these Americans are crazy!
