Question: What's the difference between dreaming and pretending?

 I usually go to Yahoo Answers when social sites get a bit boring. For those who are not so familiar with Yahoo Answers, it is actually a  very helpful tool for your questions to be answered by real people in a few minutes or even seconds. If you're not so good with research, let other yahoo users do it for you. You can also share ideas with others by answering their questions and earn points at the same time.
     Like I said, I'm so into sharing ideas with other people. This is why Direct to the P-O-I-N-T is built in the first place. In this question, my answer was tagged as the best one. Just read through! =)






















My Answer (it seems that the words from the figure's too small): the best answer would be: Dreaming is when you're asleep and Pretending is when your awake! You can take that literally or figuratively!!

Racial Attack Against Filipino Nurses

     While I was doing nothing and it feels like playing this particular online game was getting boring, I've come across "Dana Groulx thinks she's perfect... She's just a scared freakin' racist" facebook group page. Out of curiosity, I've read through the group page from its wall, group info, to its member's discussion. You may click on the link to see the group page.
     To give you a little background about Dana Gilner Gladman also known as Dana Groulx, she is actually working as a pharmacist in Florida. Dana tried to become a doctor many years ago but never passed the MCAT, an entrance test required for every aspiring Medical Student worldwide.Now she is freakin' mad at the Filipino nurse who courteously and professionally obeys MD orders.
      The picture above was taken from Dana's facebook wall. Her status obviously criticized Filipino nurses as a whole thus considered as an act of racism. 


  • FYI 1: Doctors' orders are doctors' orders and no one can change it not even nurses nor a pharmacist like Dana! Pharmacist may clarify or suggest but there's no way she can change it right away. 


  • FYI 2: Kudos to all Filipino nurses for being professional and ethical for that matter!


  • FYI 3: Doctors are not moron as Dana thinks! They all have passed the MCAT not to mention the other examinations that they have took before they became MDs. Dana shows a kind of thinking like she is always right and perfect. You can also check out her tweets in that case.
     And another thing! While I was scrolling down to the group page's wall, I've read through some comments of some members. There's this one female Thai who has negative impression about Filipinos which is obviously caused by lack of knowledge about the race's culture. The other antagonist of the group page was unfortunately, a fellow Filipino who seems to be incapable of accepting what he really is and transformed himself into something like a racist of his own race. The admin of the group page posted some comments to lessen future misleading reactions.
     To my fellow Filipinos, we should not forget that everyone would one way or another have something against someone as the old saying goes, "No one can please everyone". As long as we do things the right way and we take things in a professional, ethical way (unlike these racists who thinks they're PERFECT), nothing and no one could ever pull us down no matter how they try. So instead of keeping bad vibes about it, let's just take the criticism positively for the better! =)
