i dont get the ofw love
it's all about the money, damn it.
screw being a family/national hero. you go abroad because you think it's the better and much quicker way to earn money. well in my case it's also being completely independent and able to travel, but yes money is definitely a factor. you want to get paid as much for the hard work that you put it, and that's fine. if i work my ass off in the philippines as much as i work here, then might as well choose the one that can pay bigger bills, right?
i just saw a pinas network station id recently that glorifies ofw's so much that it borderlines annoying. there was this woman who says she's going through a rough time everyday that she cries every night. she says she's doing it for her family. that she longs to be with her family.
puh-lease.. there's always a choice. there's always a choice to go home. if you cannot take the heat in the kitchen then go to the living room, but dont expect to eat. i obviously just made that silly expression. hahahaha... anyway, you set your priorities. are you after the money or being with your loved ones? if you choose the former then dont f*ckin' complain! give up your love for gadgets, give up your above average lifestyle and spend time with your family back home. i dont get why people cry when they're homesick. i dont see it as a weakness but more on trying hard to act like a victim when you're actually a hedonistic bitch who cannot sleep without your branded sleepwear after you set the alarm of your super expensive mobile phone.
yes i do miss my family. but i chose to be here so might as well be strong and stop being overpowered by emotions. i can always visit them and i dont let the 'homesickness' get the best of me. not that im cold hearted. i just live up to my decision. i know right when i boarded the plane that this means not taking care of my aging parents. or not seeing my protege bloom into a full grown teenager. or my friends changing partners without really seeing their faces. i was ready for these. i can always catch up but im aware that it is still different when you're physically present. and im ok with that. i accepted that.
turn away from the money if you'd rather see your children grow. there is always a job in the philippines. it may just be a tiny portion of what you earn now, but as far as job availability is concerned, there is a always job advert when you look around. the money may not be much but im sure your lifestyle will adjust and it will all be just fine.
sorry, i know this rant seems senseless. but there, i just dont like everyone hyping it up because there is such a thing as over-sensationalizing.

last night was crazy
it was the hk rugby 7's and we partied so hard we acted like westerners. we've been dancing the whole time, we got really wasted that we were swaying when we went to a friend's place to sleep. there were 4 of us and it so happened that we were the four people in the group who, let's just say have notorious stories when drunk. we were all nursing a bad hangover the morning after. they were all gagging but i was surprisingly the only one who didnt have to do that. hahahahaha...
anyway. the highlights of the night were having my bag stolen. yep i lost my winter coat, housekeys and phone with it. good thing i got my money and id's with me so it's not really that earth shattering. it feels good to be phone-less for a while. i think ill go crazy if i lose my id again! i just got a new one 3 weeks ago so it would be embarrassing to get a new one. they might think that losing my id became a hobby of mine.
the biggest highlight would be: kissing someone. ha! i know it was just brought about by booze. but yeah it feels nice. how come all my kiss moments start in bars? i wish i can tell you more about it. but errrr... i'd rather not. it's sorta one of 'em aawwww moments i'd keep the details to myself for a while.

BS 77-86
im not religious. i dont know, but during primary school i was consistently awarded the 'best in christian living'. i suspect that they only give it to me because i was at the top of the class but it's a tradition to let the students who made it to honor roll an extra award. i was not good in arts, music, sports, so voila, the questionable award. i swear i dont remember exhibiting any role model character in a religious kind of way. then i was put to an all girls catholic school in secondary year. but for some reason i did not enjoy it. i do not get why we had to pray before and after each class plus a morning praise then an angelus, and we still have a one and a half hour religion subject! then we are required to do some church participation on weekends. gaaahhh!!
i believe in a supreme being. you can call him/her/it anyway you like but i call him papa jesus. what i do not like is the catholic teaching. i think it borders on crazy and ridiculous. i believe in doing good and not hurting other people. i dont really worry about what will happen to me after death. a lot of catholic people are so preoccupied with what happens after that they tend to repress themselves on their living days. this is what i think: when i do good, im happy. so you see, if there is such a thing as heaven, i'd go there because of my good deeds as per catholic teaching. if there isnt such a thing and we just return to the ground then that's fine. at least i lived my life happily. i go for what i want. i dont hurt other people intentionally. i lived without any grudge, so if there's no heaven with beautiful people and you dont age and get fat, then that' fine. i had my share of heaven a few times in my life.
and what's up with masses? i only like the singing part. but other than that, i'd prefer to do my praises and pleas personally. it must be the sense of belongingness in a community that they're after... but isnt faith personal? i dont know... i pray when i need something. i pray more when im thankful. on my own.
anyway, you'd think it would be hypocritical to say this... i like taking photos of churches though. i dont like the statues.. but i like to see the human extravagance to demonstrate to pay tribute to his/her faith. you see the most luxurious things inside churches. perhaps it give them the sense of pride. for me, they're more like museums. only you can take pictures as much as you want. :)
last christmas e and i did photowalk around pampanga churches. and mind you, they are from different provinces so you have to give us credit for our effort. i've always wanted to do it but e got her car when i started working so we never really found the time. our province is known for its grand churches. we went to 7 churches that day. here you go:
