Diary of Goddess: Life Lessons Learned

I started this blog in HS, when I was this materialistic, but saying I wasn't materialistic first to start a blog and thought my life was so fab since all I did was school, shop, & friends. Fast forward 4 years later, I became this college student that realized that college life wasn't like the movies and MY struggle began...Some 10 years from HS and here I am, living my dream of going to law school, bringing a whole new meaning to MY struggle…

No. 291 Filial Piety

So, I just watched a part of this movie on those like educational channels, K something, anyways, it was called Daughter of something...ok, the jist, daughter that was set to the US comes back to "visit" in the Vietnam and see the family again. Girl don't speak Viet anymore and doesn't really get the whole Viet culture...

I don't know what the girl was thinking when she was going back. Like she seemed really dense and all Midwestern like "i'm just gonna go home to see me moms and sis and bros and then we'll all goonna be "reunited" and just like hang out and you know laugh about" and i'm going to get people to stop drinking so much and not to smoke because I am promoting no smoking and other things...whatever, you aren't the freaking church whatever.

Main rant: ok, so she gets there, and the they say that the Vietnamese are really straight forward about money...no, it's really like they're so freaking poor and the ring that you on is like worth their entire salary for the month. No i'm not joking, because these people, while I do know other Viets that are less you know, but these people, live with a mud floor and don't wear shoes ok...seriously.

She's like, "wow they do live differently, i'm not sure I could live like this" as she points to the whole where you pee. Gee, then she gets so pissed that her 5 siblings ask if there is anyway that mom can go back to the US or to give monthly stipend. She says, "I AM SO ANGRY, I CAN"T BELIEVE THIS, I AM OFFENDED" OMG, you aren't even asian and you don't even get it, like hello, no, u aren't even asian, u're not even human, I take that back, because i'm sure if anyone like went and saw how they live-obviously not in luxury, that why would you be offended if they asked for money. I mean, hello, they know the US is like core country and they're on the periphery, I don't know if anyone else does not know that, who doesn't nowadays? God, I can't believe it, I mean anyone who sees that someone is in a state of badness would try to assist, instead, she says she can't bring the mom (understandable as American daughter) but can't even do money either, like hello, the ring alone is all it's worth, then she's like, "i wish i never came..." as she's bawling and screaming how mean they are and angry she is..." One word for her, maybe you should have studied the country and culture because you are Vietnamese and should have like figured this out before goign there and I can't believe no one told her either because she isn't half half, she's fully and did live there at one point then went to the US. GOD, DISLUSSIONAL AND BAD CHARACTER PLACEMENT, SHOULD HAVE FOUND SOMEONE DIFFERENT, LIKE SHE PROBABLY got paid in donuts cuz she'd seem to be like that..whatever is all I have to say to that girl and she should wake up to reality because it isn't all about you getting your nails done and hair cut and wearing your bad leggings circa the 80s.
