I write stories about my daily life...how it is like to live among the Dutch and how I look at their culture and society. It is not the ultimate truth, but a glimpse of what a Filipina migrant perceives as "the truth" ..... Nothing serious. Just an observation. A figment of my wild imagination. My own concoction. My hutspot.

April Fool's Day.
Everyday passes away just as quietly as it had come, and we don't even question where it goes. As the famous song goes: Day is done... gone the sun.
Meanwhile, we try to do something in between... sort of to fill-in the long hours; the emptiness of our very existence.
Ironically, we don't think of day and night as The Beginning and The End of another day. We simply assume that tomorrow morning will be just like yesterday. The sun will be out and will quietly go, and we'll continue doing (building) what we were trying to finish yesterday. After all, it goes on. Life, that is.
Yes, that's what we call LIFE. Crawling from cradle to grave. Trying to build something.. Trying to do something "good" and worthwhile. Trying to make a difference. Trying to be a responsible individual. Such a cruel joke, don't you agree? But think about it....
Happy April Fool's Day, Everyone!
