I stumbled on your blog by word search. I’m also filipino but male and still much darker then you (based on your pic). I pretty much grew up in Canada where one would expect to experience prejudice from caucasion but for me, I have felt it more from my own kind even my own family.

My dad who is light-skinned use to give me baths as a child and rub my skin so hard sometimes it hurt. I guess he thought he could wash my darkness away, I love him anyway. I’ve dated filipino girls who’s parent’s didn’t want me being with their daughter for fear of having dark grandchildren. In one year when summer weather was around the corner, my than gf asked me point blank, “Does this mean your going to get even darker?” It came to a point where I felt inferior to my more pale pinoy friends. So yes I was affected psychologically for a while and became ashamed of who I was. I’ve since outgrown this and worked on my personality to be with people who like me for who I am and not the shade of my skin.

Thanks for your blog. I enjoyed reading it and relating to it. Take care.

My children have blue eyes coming from my ex. My oldest has the dark skin to go along with it. My youngest daughter is white skinned with blue eyes too and she has my Asian features.

So I have to say dark skin, light kin, all are beautiful.

It’s nice to meet you. You are 15! I remember being that age (even though it was a loooooong time ago). You might want to start off with a few basics. Do you have a MAC counter in your town?
