I can't believe in love without God.
Nor can i believe in God without love.
So, for God's sake love eachother,
and for love's sake believe in God.
Will there come a day when it all comes crashing down?
Random thought...
With dreams like these who needs nightmares...

If you're Filipino, is it worse to be typically filipino or typically white or typically black?
The point is...don't judge.
And besides who can say what is typically filipino, as far as our genration. We still have no identity in this country, not the way black people and to a certain extent chinese people do.
What music does a Filipino listen to?
What kind of clothes does a Filipino wear?
How does a Filipino wear their hair?
Change Filipino to Caucasians or Africans and I'm sure answers will be readily available. And even to Filipino some answers come quickly, but i think just depends. Cuz as i see it now, our race is divided into hip hop and punk... Its the way i see it...some may not agree. And i do recognize that a lot of african, caucasian, and filipino people dont fit into their stereotypes. I am referring to the majority, which maybe unfair to say, so I will restate it as what the media depicts.
So i guess, Filipinos drive a rice rocket, listen to rap, have a dad in the navy and a nurse for a mom.
Or do they listen to punk, drive to shows, wear studded belts, have a dad in the navy and a nurse for a mom?
It seems to me that we are halo halo...comprised of different elements from other races. Some are into hip hop, some are into punk, many are into both. Our parents have raised us wit a strong sense of our Filipino heritage but at the same time conformed us to American ideals. I think that style of parenting has cultivated a unique duality that allows us the malleability to indulge and borrow from the established races that are already in the mainstream. This borrowing from other established cultures may be seen as weakness of personality, even to me at times, but i think it can also be perceived as our greatest strength. We do both, we are comfortable with doing both. We can just as easily get our groove on at a dance as we can rock out at concerts. We ball we play guitar. We do it all.
Which to me is the most faithful embodiment to the american ideal of the melting pot...We're not even close to perfect...But perhaps we are a start...I have a feeling that someway somehow, our people will bridge the gap between races
...and i hope to lead that movement.
So, some people are asking me,
Why are you dressing like that now?
Why are you playing golf?
Why are you into art?
I say, its because someone has to. And i enjoy it, it comes naturally, so i will indulge it.
The way i see it, our people can either form our own identity in this country, or we can simply fall in with the others. Or perhaps we can unite the races and that can be our legacy.
Yes this a bunch of idealistic ramblings...and it will probably never happen. But hey its worth a try. By the time we're grandparents, racism will have decreased immensely. Today we still have racism in the older generations that pass on their hate and prejudice to our peers. But once we are the elders, it will just decrease and decrease. Will it ever be gone, I dunno.
So befriend a white or black person today. Show them the beauty of our culture as well as other cultures. Eliminate their passed on prejudices so that they will not pass them on to their children. Someday, our great great grandchildren will never have to know the injustices of prejudice. Black, white, Filipino alike are all prejudiced, so its on all of us to change that.
College will be the beginning for me. I dunno how im going to do it, or if i even will, but its worth a shot.

Imagine a place u hate being....stuck in traffic....at the post office....the dentists chair...a doctors waiting room...Now imagine being forced to be there every single day 5 days a week...Well thats how i feel about High School right now...I'm sitting here, stressed out, just waiting for it to be over so i can get to where i want to go....If only i could make my parents understand this.
Two things i hate and im sure will always hate is traffic and waiting in line. Of course there can be exceptions like when you're with other people, but for the majority of the time. That is basically how I'm feeling about high school...Im waiting in line til i can go to college....waiting in line to walk at graduation....stuck in the traffic of "busy" work as well as course work that wont even count for anything. The purpose of High School has always been to prepare for and get accepted to College...Well...I've been ready for college since the end of sophmore year and i got accepted to college a month ago...WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING IN SCHOOL STILL....its served its purpose...let us loose already...This is the basis of senioritis...This is why mentally im done with high school and continue to have a difficult time completing the simplest of assignments.

Whenever I miss a couple days of school or stay out of town for a couple days...I always feel like its going to be different when i get back...But it never is... its actually strangely the same...Will that be the case when I'm coming home from Irvine? I hope so...but at the same time i don't.
