So I read earlier from yahoo's home page that Filipinas are being stereotyped as dosmetic helpers all over the world. I don't want to admit it, but it's true. but you know what, in our country's current standing, I'd rather go abroad, work there and be stereotyped. Let's face it, we're in a dying country: politically and ecologically (is that even  a word?). If global warming doesnt kill us, our government will. So what do you do when you're survival is at stake?

We run. Flee. Go to the other side of the bridge where the grass is much greener.

We run; we survive.

or so we thought. sure the grass is greener on the other side, but it's not always that easy. not easy is an understatement. Sometimes to get what you want, you have to go through hell. and that's exactly what some of our people experience just to achieve what they think they won't ever achieve here.

Isn't that suppose to be a wake-up call for our government? ofw's know the risks, the dangers of going abroad and yet, they still insist on going there. They'd rather suffer there, than suffer here, because, in the end, suffering there is still a lot better than suffering here. For some, it'll all be worth it in the end, so they persevere. Here, no matter how much you suffer, it still looks like a lost cause.

In our generation, our parents work hard to get us through our education, to put us in colleges and universities. and yet when we graduate, not all of us will pursue our chosen careers because it isn't available. What is available though is a job, that doesn't exactly need an education, just a 2-3 week training course and you're in.

So why the hell did we ever go to school, worked our butts off and wasted our parents' money if we could have gotten a job that would take 2 weeks to learn?

In the end, we'll be all underemployed.

But to a Filipino? it doesn't really matter anymore. as long as it puts food on the table, it doesn't matter whether you're categorized, labeled a domestic helper, or that you're under employed.

for the sake of survival, sometimes we dont care what we do, or how we do it, or what the consequences may be. That could either be a good thing or a bad thing. Taking a leap of faith doesn't always end happily.

But you know what? We're good. It's either we're really talented or we just work so hard that we get real good. It's not really that hard, it's just the situations we're in that makes it seem impossible.

Every lunch time we watch "Eat Bulaga" at the place we eat at.

I just noticed that the first they ask a teenager contestant is if he or she is studying. if the answer is yes; mild shock. and they ask what they are doing now, if the answer is they are incoming __yr college student; amazement.

it's like, students, particularly college students, aren't suppose to join these kinds of things because they're headed for a better future.

A lot of colleges or institutes nowadays offer 2 year courses. I took a 5-year course, failed 2 sems, so basically i took if for 6 years. I don't think you get quality education for just 2 years. But then again, it may depend on the course, but still?

Instead of crash coursing subjects so that they could work immediately, why not make it worthwhile. Harness whatever talent that person has so that he/she will have, not just a good future, but a better one.

students apply for quota courses becaue it's what's in demand, but not really what they want and so they fail to enjoy what they do. it's sad sometimes. I have this classmate in highschool, who had real talent in sketching and rendering and i found out, he's a security guard. where's the justice in that?

Another thing that caught my attention on Eat Bulaga was one of Pia's comments.

She asked what that boy was taking, and he answered MasCom. Then she asked why did he take that and he answered, it was because we wanted to join showbiz and then she said, "Eh bakit ka pa nagaral? Hindi ka nlng nagartista kagad."

My advice to that boy, continue studying so that he wouldn't end up like Pia and start saying stupid things like. Seriously? Why on earth would you tell that to a kid? It was like she was telling him to stop studying and join them right then and there. As if that would ever happen. What are the chanced of a studio contestant being offered a job?

Studying to join showbiz, is reasonable, its not stupid. If you succeed, then good for you. If not, at least you have a fall back plan. Seriously, after that, I looked at Pia like if the Philippines had dumb blondes, she'd be it. 

What is the world coming to?

I also read about the issues against the Vatican. That actually made me laugh. Here's what I think: I have nothing against the church, I look at it as a group where you belong to, where people can relate with/to you. Those heading it, I don't buy so much. For me, they've done too many flawed things for them to be telling us what not to do. I mean I agree with what they're saying, I just don't agree with them saying it. they're credibilty is failing; bad.

That comment from a head dignitary made me laugh, because, he was eager to answer the issue. He did not think of his answer, he just wanted it answered and thought that the people would leave it at that. And since when did that happen? now it's all over the internet, and is being criticized by people who actually know what they're saying.

behaviour of people should never be associated with other behaviours, unless you can prove it. Isn't everyone different? at least that's what I think. So to generalize, group and relate these behaviours is a wrong move. It's just like judging someone and they, of all people, should know otherwise.

So, so far, that's what I've read. my fingers are tired and im getting sleepy. Completely irrelevant but yeah... I ran out of things to write. lol.

so... goodnight. ^^

note: these are my opinions, this is just how I see it. I accept any violent reactions, but don't make me take them back. ayt?
