[minako]

Well I'm asian. But my mother tells me (in a joke) that I'm actually not her daughter, and that I was really born in Japan. She tells it to me as a joke because whenever I come home, all I do is read manga, watch anime and japanese drama, and I also sometimes speak in Japanese.

But it's NOT that I want to be Japanese. I would love to be one, but I was born in a different country, and it's not something that we can chooses from. I'm proud to be a Filipino, and I wouldn't trade my nationality to any other nationality.

What annoys me in our country is that many people like to buy these pseudo-whitening products to make them more "caucasian-y?"
