Blog 7: A Sad Night in Chicago

Fil‘s pain was excruciatingly sad for many reasons, since his citizenship was granted little did he know that his pain, and longing for his motherland was starting. Fil only had two things to look for in Chicago, the dancers and Tony, for him those two are the only essence that could remind him of the Philippines. If one or both of them disappear, Fil would not know what to do. One was when the dancers came Fil was overjoyed preparing everything for his grand plan of inviting the dancers and touring them around Chicago, but to his utter disappointment the dancers had rejected his warm invitation. To make matters worse, he had deceived himself thinking that the dancer’s parents taught them well for not accepting his invitation. Another reason for his sadness is his state of thinking on the things that do not matter. He is so stuck up in his high horse about the dancers thinking everything would go according to plan. Instead of helping taking care of his friend, Tony and listening to him, he does not care, instead he insists of them on seeing the dancers, as if the dancers were gods and goddesses. Finally, the rationale of his misery was the death of Tony. With the dancers out of the picture, Tony was the only thing that Fil had left to accompany him and reminisce about the good times in the Philippines and in America.
