This month has been such a rough month. Am lacking motivation and feeling very melancholic due to the lack of sun. But I've been somewhat motivated to start planning a summer vacay. I miss the sun and going to the beach ( Im going crazy, literally). The constant feeling of dullness and dragging myself to do everyday chores. Must admit, I've hit rock bottom. What are your traveling plans for 2012? Any exotic destination?

But the unfortunate truth is racism is no longer in a contrast of black and white. We got racism here living, within our&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;own people/ race. &lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;This goes back to slavery. When skin color was used to&amp;nbsp;separate&amp;nbsp;and determined one's perks and advantages within the black community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;I do relate with these girls.&amp;nbsp;Being a dark-skin, i've gotten some crazy so called "compliments" about my skin color.&amp;nbsp;Interestingly, i've gotten far more nicer compliments from other races than from my own race.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Being surrounded by female family members who went to the extreme of skin bleaching. In addition to societies standards of beauty. One could only imagine the pressure to fall into the same route.&lt;br /&gt;A conversation with close friend of mine, who btw is from Iraq. She told me about her first encountering experience of racism.
