Amazing! Great job! Subtle, yet very relaxing and poetic to watch!

It's normal to adopt the culture you happen to be in. But as they say, an apple doesn't turn into an orange and vice versa. They could thrive in other places, too, but they remain the same plant. It's impossible for someone to be completely altered by cultural influences when your DNA says otherwise. Pressure doesn't often come from physical force, but prejudice and misjudgment and discrimination and humiliation of one's identity. And the more I feel the pressure around me the more I embrace my culture more and more. It's like being a foster kid for instance, but the foster family has children of their own also. It could sometimes create discomfort between children and when jealousy arise among the real children, the family would always have their real children's back because it makes more sense. What makes it wrong is when the parents tolerate bad behaviors for the very reason that they're blood related. Empathy often comes naturally from people your own kind when it comes to things only your own kind could understand such as racism and discrimination. It could come from all sides, even Filipinos could be prejudiced towards others, too. There's great similarity and at the same time, a huge difference between real Filipinos and Filipinos who grew up or spent many years in another country. Their humor, outlook, and general view of the world or understanding of euphemisms vary. I look at myself as someone from another place who chose to live in another place, and I'm not apologetic for my differences, like choices of media contents to watch, or eating with a spoon and fork, unless it's a steak and potato, but if rice, you can't eat fork with it. And why would I be apologetic for it? I don't care if people couldn't stand it. Although there are so many Filipino cultural traits that might be considered inappropriate in other countries like jokes on appearances in movies or shows, which is generally considered acceptable in Filipino culture, but extremely trashy in Western standards and I don't often meant the actors playing those roles, but just the general style of humor. On the other hand, they also have traits that are quite unique and almost unrivaled. Generally, I refuse to forge relationships with people dictating me what to do, just because it benefits them more than the other way around, regardless of their ethnicity.

foot note 1 re the Lions Clock: Installed in 1955 by the Vancouver Mandarin Lions Club and the South Kowloon Lions Club (Hong Kong), and restored in 2010 by the Vancouver Pacific Lions Club (all women) and the Vancouver Mandarin Lions Club.

I went there 2 days ago and saw the sunrise. Wrote a short poem afterwards: Sunrise at QE Park Got up at four this morning and drove to Queen Elizabeth Park to catch the sunrise expected at five thirty No one else was there… the moon stood on guard, and the maple leaf flag fluttered above the lamplight, singing a silent anthem The Lions Clock 1 said four fifty-five, and the sun was still climbing behind the North Shore Mountains, a silhouette outlined with shimmering gold and crimson The air was scented by softly breathing blossoms still asleep and two birds were chirping love notes in four syllables to one another I finally spotted one perched atop the silver birch near by, matched the singer to the song, I turned, and the sun already was up and too bright for my old cell phone camera At that glorious moment, I could find no words, except the Lord’s Prayer Tommy Tao 2023.5.14, revised 5.16

I remember back when I was still in HS, I always wanted to come to your school when there’s a basketball game against other schools. One time, I went there and it was Brent vs Zobel. Donny was still attending Brent back then too!I always cheered for Brent but that time I cheered for Zobel, specifically for the guy that plays for them who will then be my ex boyfriend 😂. I never attended Brent but I had friends that transferred to Brent from Reedley when they moved to Alabang. Your school brings back so many good memories and how I’d wish I attended Brent.
