Hello Dee,

Very well said. If everyone is aware of this basic fact, then the world would be a better place to live in.

Even in the blogosphere, we can observe that there is a sort of "discrimination" because we tend to categorize blogs according to the country of origin. There are however, several authors, who would only consider the fact that you both belong to the same niche.

I salute all these true bloggers who defy geographical borders to connect with fellow bloggers; that was one purpose of my Inspirational Book - to connect the east and the west.

Great story, Jena! I like it. I really do!

You’re absolutely right – every race has it’s own share of the good ones and the bad ones. That’s how humanity is. So nobody should make generalizations. Or label one race with this or that, because it’s not fair. And those who do the labeling would just appear ignorant. And nobody would want to be called ignorant. So an open mind is always the best.

Hi Shawie,

You could definitely relate to this because your husband is an American. And you're lucky, you've got a Dave, but he's luckier because he got an "Olive". (winks).

Best regards.

Hi Jena,
I can picture my husband in this story, although he's more of the outgoing, sociable person. He definitely is not the silent type but sure he's got the big heart like your characterization of Dave... In fact, I was so happy that our graphics designer (from Manila) was able to pay the down payment for a small house (salary he got on working at our company) & still keeps his regular job:))
It humbles me to know how a simple act of generosity can change some other people's lives:))
Thanks for the wonderful story, as always!

Hi Bing,

That's true. Sometimes, I too , am guilty of this.

I admire your candidness to call a spade - a spade. Way to go , girl!

Happy blog-hopping.

It’s true , that there is goodness among all races of people. But oftentimes people’s minds are clouded with ignorance and discrimination. Even us Filipinos judge our own people.

Well-written story echoing human tendencies.

Hi Doc Zayden,

lol... sorry, doc Zorlone. Don't worry, you were still learning the ropes then, so I forgive you.

Yes, Olive would certainly be your woman.

But the letter does not begin with an O but with a G. he he he.
