Strangely, I get the subtle judgmental comments from fellow Filipinos. We live in Southwest London in an area where the oriental Asians are bankers, lawyers, and doctors, where your trusty nanny would be the hardworking Filipina in charge of their large Victorian homes. While I would push my little wee one’s buggy, these Filipinas would ask me how I manage to look after my “alaga.” When they learn that I am the mum, they would always say “Ang swerte mo naman, patingin naman ng asawa mo.”
To people who hold the same views, I suggest you step out of your comfort zone, be it by traveling, trying something new, learning a new language, or making friends online. Maybe this will create a better and more peaceful world.
Love is love; it doesn’t discriminate against skin color or language spoken. Jonathan and I both saw that the person next to us was worth spending every waking day with, and that sealed the deal.
