I too work for an Asian company (Japanese media), but there is also many other Asians as well (especially Filipino). Due to my friendly nature I of course talk and interact with everyone, but I really fell in with a Filipino group. They call me a Filipina and tell me I'm not really white as well It's recurring with me as well, I hear it almost daily.

I do view it as a compliment, but I guess since I really adore my co-workers (and since I'm still new) I really take it as they really have accepted me and like me not only as a co-worker, but as a friend. I was quickly able to break down a barrier.


The real strangers compliment I ever got was that "My eyes are freaky". I was like uh, usually people like them.......She said no, they are awesome, I've just never seen colors like that (my eyes have a gold ring on the outside, a green ring in the center and a deep green ring around my pupil). I was like, then why didn't you just say "awesome" instead of "freaky"????


Weird.

What if Prince Charming had never shown up? Would Snow White have slept in that glass coffin forever? Or would she have eventually woken up, spit out the apple, gotten a job, a health-care package and a baby from her local neighborhood sperm bank?
