Hello Summer!

Today is my last final and it is for this class. This semester went by so fast! I just now remembered that I had a blog to write in. All semester long I could not remember for the life of me. Then today, of all days, I remember. I alsop just realized that I never actually clicked "publish" on two entries. Luckily, the date that shows is from when i originally wrote it.
I don't know how many people actually read this, but it's been fun. Hope everyone has a great summer!

Family Ties

I've been attempting to write a paper about how your upbringing affects how you are as an adult. It got me thinking about my life and what type of person I'll be in the future. More so, I started to think about how my married life would be.
My parents didn't have a huge fairytale wedding. They didn't even have an actual wedding. They were married in city hall. Afer, they had three children and it seemed as though all was good with the world. A year after the third child, me, was born my dad went back to the Philippines. Although my parents stayed married and kept in close contact, I grew up pretty much without a father.
Obviously, my parents did not have the fairytale marriage life but I don't think it negatively affected me. I suppose you could see my family as being a broken one, but it was not like that at all. Despite the separation there was so much love, from both sides. It's so annoy when people from whole families assume that I'll lead this sad life of no love and divorce because of my parents.

Manny! Manny! Manny!

Tomorrow is the long awaited Pacquiao fight. It is absolutely insane how every Filipino person I have come in contact with is acting like this is their shining moment. It seems as though with every fight Pacquiao wins brings the Filipinos, as a whole, closer to the top of the latter of success. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy that he's making a name for himself and representing the Philippines every step of the way. It is also rather exciting that he's a natural talent, and good enough to make it in the U.S. I would just like to see someone advance somewhere other than sports. I feel like people in the Philippines who try to make it big in the United States only try in the entertainment field.
