last night we went to the other side of town to subject ourselves to torrential rain, muddy streets and clueless foreign aggressors. hehe talk about masochism. these are the things we do to make things work. to live better. to survive.
i just came across an article at inq about the centennial celebration of filipino migrants in hawaii. we've actually been doing this for a long time -- leave our country for the land of milk and honey. and now, a hundred years later, it's no different. only this time we've become much more desperate and they've become a lot less welcoming. i wonder how long this vicious cycle will go on before we can be enlightened.
today i'm down with a flu. and i have the rain to blame for my sudden burst of insight.
