// morsels of life //

last wednesday, i strolled around the cbd 'cause i was so bored. then, when i was in appliance section in myer store, i met a fellow filipina who i guess is also shopping around. she said she's from davao and already a permanent resident here since 1997 (if i remember it right).


our conversation started with simple questions of who & where. after a few minutes, i found myself just listening to what she's saying. she talked a lot about herself and even her experiences as a young davawenya. and she warned me about some filipinos here in australia. she said that i should be cautious in dealing with them 'cause most of them are opportunistic and fraudulent. honestly, it breaks my heart to hear those statements from a "kababayan". i didn't know how to deal with what i just heard. i respect a person's point of view, but sometimes what i can't understand is the nature of being so judgemental about somebody's personality. we have this tendency to remember most of the bad things and discard the good ones. oh well... it's not cricket...
