Immigration Blues: Bienvenido Santos

In that story Bienvenido Santos was able to illustrate to us , how eager some of us -Filipino's  wanted to live in America . With that eagerness all the possible ways that can help us, we conquer! Eventhough the only way is to sacrifice our own self yet still persuade just to get what we wanted. Just like what happen in the story , wherein Monica - a teacher in the Phils. who wants to immigrate in US & wanted to stay their forever.And since her visa is only tourist  she find a way in order for her to be an American citizen & live their. So, she marries Alipio- a Filipino war veteran in Japanese time who live their. With that, Santos was able to show to us an example of  a selfish motive of marriage for convenience in the sense that Monica marries Alipio for personal interest.

Bienvinido Santos:The Door

The story was all about a Filipino being married to a American girl. He felt that his wife cheated to him because every time he arrives at their house the door was always lock & afterwards a boy will go out of the room. But eventhough he knew that his wife has another guy, Delfin hasn't confront his wife due to the reason he doesn't want to be leave by her wife. In that story we've seen the other side of Bienvinido Santos-being a reporter, because he was able to report to us what is happening in the Filipino people in america. He was able also to relate to us that not all filipino living abroad are prosperous!!!!!!!!!!

xxxw8xxpy: OBSESSION

The rooster crow and the dawn came
But still, i'm awake thinking of his
       sweet glimpse of smile
My heart beats fast, my stomach fills
       with so much butterflies
That feeling inspires me all the time.

I treasure every minute that his with me
Every smile he made, makes me float
          in the air
Even in a crowd I easily recognized him
His strong aura and sense of humor makes
        me admire him more.

He is always i think and dream of
He makes my day more worthwhile
I got worried whenever his not around
How I wish he felt the same way as
        what i felt.

But whatever I do, I know he can't never
        be mine
Cause someone special already owns his heart.
