Calm down, girls. That’s only Schertzer’s F*****G opinion. We can still walk on the street with chin up. See how moderators in this website sympathized him now. Better shut up, sisters, and go back to your classrooms. We don’t have enough time for this crap story! It’s just a blog from a disturbed mind anyway…(giggles)
I think ajarn.com needs a Filipino blogger. It’s a fine idea. Send me an e-mail if you fancy taking up the challenge to philip at ajarn dot com.
A couple of years ago, I started a section of the ajarn site aimed specifically at Filipino teachers but sadly it was something of a disaster. Plenty of articles were submitted but the quality of the English was often so poor that I was spending literally hours proof-reading and editing. Secondly, far too many of the articles were ‘over-patriotic’ and were simply paragraph after paragraph about little more than waving the national flag. I’m sorry if those points ruffle a few feathers but they are the facts nonetheless.
If there is a Filipino or Filipina out there who would like to write a regular blog for ajarn.com and has confidence in their writing ability, then we would love to have you on board.
A Fan,
Thanks! I can volunteer. I’ll be writing blogs in here soon.
Cheers!

Mr. Schertzer! the moderators of this site Ajarn.com have approved your latest blog and posted it here with open arms but with insensitive hearts.
But all of you have no idea how you have destroyed our credibility here as teachers in whole Thailand and other countries!
Do you have any single idea what Filipinas have gone through as workers in all foreign countries?
You don’t know what we have risked and heartaches/homesick we’ve suffered away from our close-bonded families just to “work hard” away from homes, and earned through sweat with pride and dignity!
How dare you wrote “... After all, the Philippines is a country that for decades has pimped its own citizens for cheap labor to 200 different countries. Filipinas are notorious worldwide for selling themselves to foreign men far older than themselves”
Your limited mind can only manage to say, “For if I had, if I had googled the word “Filipina”, I would have been inundated with seedy and pornographic Websites. Everything from Webcam girls to Internet Cyber brides would have been on display.
Poor you! Why not broaden your research and you’ll find how Filipinas risk their lives in some countries working as housemaids and not prostitutes. Some work as caregivers and nurses, cleaning the most gruesome wastes of their patients. And most of us here in BKK work as hard-working, dedicated teachers in spite of receiving low salary compare to you as white teacher! But we all never mind them at all because want to earn with pride and dignity and show to the world that Filipinas are not whore as you’ve pointed out.
What an irresponsible teacher/blogger you are!
Your blogs have only shown the true ugly color you are. I think that explains why your “two” Filipinas ex-Gfs you’ve branded as evils and cheater have abandoned or ignored you.
By the way, why 2 girlfriends? (unluckily, not able to read your 2008 love-life blogs) Who was really cheating in your relationships? (...just confused of your complicated story)
Chem/A Fan (or whatever name you choose to go under),
It’s good that you have finally come out of the closet and had the guts to put your name to something and thus take responsibility for it.
Now, down to business. I take it you are referring to my blog in that little reference, “Well, seems like blasting the Thais for racism and other faults is pretty standard fare in some other blogs, so don’t feel singled out.“
However, it was not my intention to criticise ALL Thais for racism only those who have a limited understanding of what constitutes a good teacher.
I suggest you read my blog again and figure it out for yourself. I only hope that if you do intend to come on board here as a blogger, that your writing skills are better than your reading skills, which seem pretty limited to say the least.
Tom
