The Right Man in the Right Time

NO man will ever claim you unless he claims you from Me. For I reserved a man for you who has my heart and loves me even more than he will love you. For I won't give you unless he asks you from me. He's asleep, wake him, he's busy for Me, My kingdom. Soon you will know him, but I have the perfect time and plan. You are my princess, my daughter. Let no prince claim you unless he asks you from my Father, the Kings of kings. You , my princess are worth waiting for and I Love You.

Women, we do not look for our prince but we only wait for the perfect time that He has made to meet the right man.

Misconceptions of the world about Persia esp in the Philippines

Iran and Persia are same, but we still prefer it to be called Persia because of the ignorant and less educated misconceptions of the world.

Iran and Iraq are two different countries. One ends with "n" and the other ends with "q".

Iran is pronounced as "EERAUN" not I----ran. (It's not track and field)

Who said English accent should be used for all the different and beautiful languages of the world?
This is not an English World, but a world full of Diversity, people.

Iranians or Persians are very sophisticated people due to their long history and civilization.
Sophisticated enough to know the differences between foreign countries unlike those who are only good at generalizing one country to another.

Iranians speak Farsi, not Arabic.

Persia is a country and so is Iran, as one.

Persia is not the language; it's Farsi.

Iran is a Persian country not an Arabic country.

Iran is not a country of desert, but a country of the WORLD'S OLDEST CIVILIZATION once called as Persia.
If you think its not, then do your researching.

Iranians don't live in tents. They live in houses full of Persian artistry.

We love sweet, sour and salty foods.

Maybe you didn't know our exquisite and world class delicacy is caviar that can only be found in the Caspian Sea of Iran.

We do not eat hot foods.

We are Persians, not Indians, not Iraqis, not Arabs and not any other Middle Eastern individual  you see are the same.

Iran, sorry, Persia was a liberal country but after the Shah regime, it is presently ran by Muslim leaders.

Yes. We are outspoken and passionate about our beliefs and history, needed for people like you who only know how to stereotype and assume.

Yes. the beautiful Persian cats and carpets proudly came from us but we're more than just cats and carpets.

Iran has four seasons; fall, winter, spring and summer. It is not a one hot season country. duh?

A Muslim is someone who believes in Islam. It is neither a country nor a person from that country, ok?

We say Persia because it truly carries the vast and rightful reputation of what Iran truly is!!!

Filipino pride, where is it?

I am so amazed but sometimes intimidated by other races who are so proud of themselves and of their country. The Africans, the Americans, the Greeks, the Italians, the Persians, the Serbians, and other more are full of pride that sometimes bring clashes between different races. It is honourable to be proud of your roots but in everything there is balance ---- there is a line. Some too proud races just degrade other races.That is so wrong. Never look down on anyone but learn to know them first. They have something that you might not have.  On the other hand, its very rare for me to find or hear of a Filipino pride. I am a Filipino myself, and I am proud! You can see the pride written in some people's faces and even in the way they act, talk or think. You will know if they belittle or praise their country. Furthermore, I am not just talking about the Filipinos in the Philippines but also the Filipinos abroad. I use to despise my Filipino country when I was younger and less matured but now I praise and adore it that sometimes people just get tired and tell me " Yes Sahar, I already know all about your beautiful country and this...and that...(you can stop now sahar.)"  Well, I'd rather be proud of it than hide it, am I right?
I have encountered Filipinos who tell people that they are not Filipino, or they do not speak or understand the Filipino language, "Tagalog" which in fact they are Filipinos, and they do know their language. It made me sick of my own country fellowmen. I felt ashamed of them and of myself, thinking that other races might be wondering why Filipinos are ashamed of their country.  I  remember my Serbian friend telling me "Be proud of where you came from because it just makes you cheap when you deny your country". I fully agree with her. I believe that if you think or say your country is cheap, then you are just proclaiming that you are CHEAP! I use to remember this saying in the Philippines, "Ang hindi marunong mag mahal sa sariling wika ay higit pa ang amoy sa mabahong isda"(Dr. Jose Rizal). A person who does not know how to love his own language is stinkier than the smell of a bad smelling fish. Personally, my first language was English because my father was more fluent in English than in Tagalog but because I lived in the Philippines, I did learn how to speak my true language. Tagalog may seem disgusting to a lot of Filipinos, but it is pleasing to the ears of other nationalities. I think knowing, understanding and speaking my own language is "cool". Its just another small but powerful presentation to the public as I being a Filipino or having a Filipino blood. Wow!
In the Philippines, there are people who answer in English when they are questioned in Tagalog.  I don't know... Do you answer in Spanish when someone talks to you in German? How stupid is that?  In addition, there are Filipino parents who do not know how to teach or pass on their own language to their children. Why is that? How come the Italian youngsters who were born and raised in Canada speaks fluent Italian? Is it because the parents just want their children to have an additional language, or is it because their language is very important to them?  Yes, it is their pride, and they are proud to represent themselves as Italians even if they are born or raised in a foreign land and that also goes with the other nationalities. How can people look up to you when you look down on yourself?  Remember that saying? "Respect comes to you when it is already in you". I also have encountered adults who only know how to talk about their country, Philippines by saying that we are so poor. All they blabber about is the decreasing or bad economy of the Philippines, the dirty places and how dumb Filipinos are. Aren't you just talking about yourself? Isn't that ironic for Filipinos to think why other races or nationalities think low on us when in fact it is all because of YOUR OWN DOINGS. Don't you feel angry on those kind of people. Why do you degrade your country to others or even to the world? Yes, a lot of what you're saying is true but enough is enough! Too much humiliation has been upon our country. Its time for you to lift it up! Stop criticizing the country and its people but praise it and be proud of your own country. God gave each country something to be proud of. All are the same just different in some areas. There are countries that are rich in man-made things but poor in natural resources and vice versa. Philippines is rich in natural resources and there is no excuse for you not to be proud of that. A lot of Filipinos know little about their country but know much about other countries. Shouldn't you know more about your true country first? Why be innocent and naive about that? I am proud of my blood and you should too. I hear and see people saying or writing the Italian, Black, Persian pride and other more but I think it's time for us to hear the shout, THE FILIPINO PRIDE!!! MABUHAY ang Pilipinas at ang mga Pilipino!
