This is one of my biggest pet peeves... And I had to endure six years of this crap while dating my filipino ex-boyfriend. I'm not f@#$ing Filipino! So don't tell me it's filipino time when you're late!
I remember planning a surprise dinner for my ex-boyfriend. I invited some of his friends and told them to be there before me! Hence... Surprise dinner. They show up a hour late and told me it was "filipino time". Leaving me and my boyfriend waiting at the restaurant because our party was big enough to be seated.
Excuse me?! I'm not filipino! I am the host of the party, so you should be following my culture of "time". But that's not what I was angry about. It was the fact that they were reluctant to apologize for being late! I understand things happen to make people late, but admit to your faults and just apologize!
No... Their excuse was that it was just how their culture worked. Well I'm not part of your culture. I was born in America and that's the culture I follow. And you know what?!? You were too! I'm just so upset at the fact that you were refusing to even apologize.
And you know what? This was the same friend who later told me that "cheating" was also part of their culture. (He was trying to justified why my ex-boyfriend cheated on me and I should forgive him) What kind of decade are you living in? Are you serious?
Yeah. This is just another random rant from Yet Another Asian Girl.
