My Whiteness
And I am not talking about my paleness.
So on my Facebook news feed, I saw that a friend posted some link called "Stuff White People Like." Being the curious person I am, I clicked on the link and investigated further. I came across the following list and for your enjoyment, I have added details from the site itself and details of how I am related to the subject.
Full List of Stuff White People Like
for further information about white people, take a look at the site itself.

I came across the following list and for your enjoyment, I have added details from the site itself and details of how I am related to the subject.
Full List of Stuff White People Like
* #120 Taking a Year Off - Technically what I had been doing half of last year.
* #119 Sea Salt - yeah
* #118 Ugly Sweater Parties
* #117 Political Prisoners
* #116 Black Music that Black People Don’t Listen to Anymore
* #115 Promising to Learn a New Language - I think I have about 2 to do now
* #114 America - actually not so much
* #113 Halloween - HELL YES!!!!
* #112 Hummus - yummy yummy
When it comes to food, all white people are either allergic to/or have stopped eating everything you consider delicious.
* #111 Pea Coats
* #110 Frisbee Sports
* #109 The Onion
* #108 Appearing to Enjoy Classical Music - but I do!
* #107 Self Aware Hip Hop References
* #106 Facebook - umm
* #105 Unpaid Internships
* #104 Girls with Bangs - See pictures of self
But for white people, this simple haircut makes a bold declaration by saying that the wearer is artistic, deep, and has probably dated a guy in a band you like.
* #103 Sweaters - they are warm and comfy
* #102 Childrens Games as Adults - Pretty Pretty Princess is forever amazing
* #101 Being Offended
* #100 Bumper Stickers
* #99 Grammar - Most of the time
* #98 The Ivy League
* #97 Scarves
* #96 New Balance Shoes
* #95 Rugby
* #94 Free Healthcare
* #93 Music Piracy - It's the only way I get to feel like a pirate.
So when file sharing gave white people a chance to acquire all the music they ever wanted, it felt as though it was an earned right and not a privilege.
* #92 Book Deals
* #91 San Francisco - I want to spend few months there
* #90 Dinner Parties - Not all of them though
* #89 St. Patrick’s Day - Who doesn't like green beer?
* #88 Having Gay Friends - yeah
* #87 Outdoor Performance Clothes
* #86 Shorts
* #85 The Wire
* #84 T-Shirts
* #83 Bad Memories of High School - Actually don't have any
* #82 Hating Corporations - yeah...
* #81 Graduate School - Done with them!
* #80 The Idea of Soccer
* #79 Modern Furniture
* #78 Multilingual Children
* #77 Musical Comedy- Should be interesting
* #76 Bottles of Water
* #75 Threatening to Move to Canada - Once in a while
* #74 Oscar Parties
* #73 Gentrification
* #72 Study Abroad - Hogwart's not really abroad but far away from home.
* #71 Being the only white person around - ha ha yeah (all my Filipino friends roll their eyes)
* #70 Difficult Breakups - Actually I don't like any kind of breakups. It means you have to hurt someone. Relationships that are disposable shouldn't be made in the first place.
* #69 Mos Def - He's cool
* #68 Michel Gondry
* #67 Standing Still at Concerts- Never ever!
* #66 Divorce- Can't think of it
* #65 Co-Ed Sports
* #64 Recycling
* #63 Expensive Sandwiches
* #62 Knowing What’s Best for Poor People
* #61 Bicycles
* #60 Toyota Prius
* #59 Natural Medicine - They are less scary
Using their powers of deduction, white people have determined that herbal remedies are unilaterally better than anything produced by a drug company.
* #58 Japan
* #57 Juno
* #56 Lawyers
* #55 Apologies
* #54 Kitchen Gadgets
* #53 Dogs - Everyone loves dogs but I keep a little distance from them. Cat's are less scary, thank you.
* #52 Sarah Silverman
* #51 Living by the Water- I'd love to live by the Water
* #50 Irony- Do they really? I doubt that.
* #49 Vintage
* #48 Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops
* #47 Arts Degrees
* #46 The Sunday New York Times
* #45 Asian Fusion Food
* #44 Public Radio
* #43 Plays
* #42 Sushi - mmmm sushi.. yikes!
To them, it’s everything they want: foreign culture, expensive, healthy, and hated by the ‘uneducated.’
* #41 Indie Music
* #40 Apple Products- Yes they are cool.
* #39 Netflix - love netflix
* #38 Arrested Development
* #37 Renovations
* #36 Breakfast Places
* #35 The Daily Show/Colbert Report
* #34 Architecture- Love architecture
* #33 Marijuana- Lol not quite true..
* #32 Vegan/Vegetarianism- I do love vegetables and quite prefer Vegetarianism.
* #31 Snowboarding- Hell yes!
* #30 Wrigley Field
* #29 80s Night- I'd prefer 70's
* #28 Not having a TV
* #27 Marathons
* #26 Manhattan (now Brooklyn too!)
* #25 David Sedaris
* #24 Wine- Will anyone believe that I don't like wine? Well, yes I don't drink even if I'm an adult person. *hides*
* #23 Microbreweries
* #22 Having Two Last Names- Why would I have two last names?
* #21 Writers Workshops
* #20 Being an expert on YOUR culture - I don't quite dare to say that but I'd like to think that I've sufficient knowledge on not only my culture but other cultures as well. You see.. I spent a year in Kalahari and then Honolulu and with a bunch of cannibals in Philippines few years ago.. (After my years of research, I came to know that these cannibals were Voldemort's supporters. Thanks to sweet Merlin that people of Kalahari and Honolulu still has no idea about the word "Voldemort"!)
White people are pretty conflicted about their culture. One way they can make up for it is becoming marginally acquainted with foreign cultures. It is generally acceptable for a white person to learn a few terms in a language spoken primary by non-whites (such as Chinese, Tagalog or Portuguese).
* #19 Traveling - kind of goes with above
* #18 Awareness
* #17 Hating their Parents - I love my parents
* #16 Gifted Children
* #15 Yoga- I have heard of it.
* #14 Having Black Friends- Kingsley Shackelbolt is a great friend.
* #13 Tea- Love tea
* #12 Non-Profit Organizations
* #11 Asian Girls- That surely doesn't go for me.. perhaps goes with Sirius or somebody like him. *smirks*
* #10 Wes Anderson Movies - Own Royal Tennenbaums, Life Aquatic and Darjeeling Limited
* #9 Making you feel bad about not going outside- Quite funny but NO
* #8 Barack Obama
* #7 Diversity - I think I've mentioned this before
* #6 Organic Food- Absolutely love them
* #5 Farmer’s Markets- Yes..
* #4 Assists
* #3 Film Festivals
* #2 Religions their parents don’t belong to- Hey, liking other religions is not a bad thing!
* #1 Coffee - Oh god is this number 1? I'm screwed!
There is no doubt that white people love coffee. Yes, it’s true that asians like iced coffee and people of all races enjoy it. But I promise you that the first person at your school to drink coffee was a white person.
They should add one more though:
Posting blogs about how white you are.

A Very Amusing Tarrot Set
I found a tarrot set which not only surprised me but also made me wonder how would it be like if we were only Tarrot card characters *giggles*.
Here I include the picture and the description below-

0 - THE FOOL (Gilderoy Lockhart); To go forth blindly on an unknown path.
Ignorance is Bliss
I - THE MAGUS (Harry with Wand, at Ollivander's); Person with strong
potentials, has skills and talents to accomplish his tasks or goals. Power
is at hand.
II - THE HIGH PRIESTESS (Hermione carrying books); Keeper of wisdom and
knowledge. Has practical or working know-how but needs to be tempered with
tact. Research?
III - THE EMPRESS (Minerva McGonagall); An independent and strong-willed
woman. Stern and matriarchal but can also be nurturing when needed.
IV - THE EMPEROR (Dumbledore in his office); With great power comes great
responsibility. Decisions are not enough, do something!
V - THE HEIROPHANT (Remus Lupin); An elder who has been through a lot.
Experience is the best teacher.
VI - THE LOVERS (James and Lily Potter); a romantic life-bond. True
happiness is at hand. The search is almost over.
VII - THE CHARIOT (Ron Weasley on a Knight on giant Wizard's Chess); Hard
work pays off. Success!
VIII - STRENGTH (Godric's sword); Grace under pressure, inner resolve and
fortitude. Rise to the challenge.
IX - THE HERMIT (The Sorting Hat); Knowledge through seclusion and
meditation. Time for quiet reflection.
X. WHEEL OF FORTUNE (The Moving Staircases); Fate has the upper hand. Either
go with the flow, or challenge Fate. Do what you must.
XI - JUSTICE (Harry vs. Draco, Wizard's Duel); Balance needs to be achieved.
Must compromise for Yin and Yang.
XII - THE HANGED MAN (Sirius Black in Tower Cell); Indecision and
self-sacrifice. Sort priorities and have faith.
XIII - DEATH (Time-Turner); Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.
XIV - TEMPERANCE (Madam Pomfrey); Exercise moderation and caution. Patience
is a virtue.
XV - THE DEVIL (Professor Quirrel and Lord Voldemort); Don't even think
about it. Do not give in to the Dark side. Give up and you lose.
XVI - THE TOWER (Lucius Malfoy); A sense of impending DoomTM. Pride goes
before the fall.
XVII - THE STAR (Quidditch Harry chasing after Snitch); Wishes do come true.
Dream, believe, surviveTM.
XVIII - THE MOON (Scabbers and Peter Pettigrew); False hopes,
misconceptions, deception. There's more then what meets the eye.
XIX - THE SUN (House Cup); The rain is gone, no dark clouds on your horizon.
Your path is clear. Happiness!
XX - JUDGEMENT (Fawkes in flight); After death comes rebirth. Rise from the
ashes or despair, for you are given a second chance.
XXI - THE WORLD (Hogwarts Castle); You see the big picture. You're at the
center of the universe. Fulfillment and synergy.
