I never felt so discriminated before. I never felt so low before. Another reason why I am not into blog hopping this past few days. I have been dreaming about this so I guess I needed to write it down to take the burden out of my chest. It’s weekends and a night weekends post is nothing but rants. If you don’t want to read my mess, just go look for a happier article like this or this.
Anyway, have you ever been in a situation that you feel you are so low and that people thinks of you as that? I had my first taste of discrimination when I was in elementary. My mom was very keen on enrolling us on a private school. We are not that well off so our allowances are limited. There was a time when me and my two siblings were dividing the money and a schoolmate saw us. The look on her face and the way she commented made us feel that we are cheap and very poor. It did not affects me that much but it sure did introduced me to the word discrimination.
If you really know me, and my friends can attest to that, I hate discrimination, I never judged people base on how she/he looks or base on the number of credit card one has. I was not raised worshiping money. Me and my family are the type of people that values relationship more than money. When I chose to live with my husband, I knew where he is when it comes to finances. I never care as I have said I value relationship more and I am pretty sure that my sisters have the same belief as mine.
And what this rant all about?
Oh well for some reason, people around us misjudged my family, thinking we are after some moolah. I never felt so low in my life and only now that I wish I was born a millionaire. I know, some are just raised thinking money is everything and they apply the same perspective to people they met. I just can’t help feeling low about it.
Magsusulat na lang ako ng magsusulat at sana kumita ako ng dolyar at maisampal sa mga impaktong nang aalipusta sa pamilya ko. HMP!

August 23, 2009 at 11:24 amHi Pehpot my friend. Cheer up. Sensya ngayon lang din ako nakapasyal eh paano ilang araw walang internet at phone connection. kaya lahat ng post medyo inurong ko ng unti ang date para di halatang matagal nawala. heheUy, maraming asshole sa mundo. Pareho tayo ng prinsipyo. Ako basta walang may sakit sa pamilya ko at may pambili ng susunod na meal kuntento na ako. Ganun talaga sometime people will look down on you (us) kasi ganito lang ang status sa buhay. Mabuti ka nga may car eh. Anyway wala sa kotse o ganda ng bahay ang happiness ng tao. Sige magsulat na lang tayo and pour all our hearts desire and rants sa article natin. At pag may sobra kang opportunity share mo naman sa akin, hehe. joke lang.Keep smiling hala ka baka nakasimangot si Sati paglabas niyan. 🙂

August 24, 2009 at 11:54 ami have to agree with earth. some people, just because they label people and always judge people by the amount of money they have, think everybody are just like them. they are just a waste of your time. ika nga, those who know you wouldnt care and those who do not, doesnt matter. so cheer up and keep on blogging.btw, where is my ex link? 🙂
