my extended family tree is huge. here in my town, my family and i are literally related to everybody ?? and sometimes i have the urge to just shout "hey distant relative!!" to a stranger across the street and it's getting really funny, actually. one time my mom and i were in a shop and while my mom was making conversation with the shopkeeper she found that we were related somehow?? something along the lines of "ur my dad's sibling's child's daughter" and i wasn't even surprised
no wonder there's no family related somewhat discount in stores here everyone would not making the dough whatsoever
sometimes when i'm too deep in my thoughts i start to think about how the majority of u (actually probably all of u reading this — ur so blessed?? be happy n grateful ok) never visited a really dumpy site, unlike me, and i go to those places a lot (not like i want to, though, there's just really nowhere else near to be). because here in the philippines, although we are a developing country, we're still a third world country and to add atop to that we have a really shitty president so americans we all have something in common (not hooray). but going back to the topic, we're a pretty poor country and there are many existing beautiful sites here but sadly, i wasn't born in any one of them so i'm stuck in not the worst of places but definitely on the worst places list (or maybe i'm overreacting and they're actually more dirtier areas here. oh, gosh.) trash is everywhere (not the whole of ph - obviously - but u catch my drift) (i'm just talking about where i live), there's always so much people around, and, consistent n wide sidewalks are nonexistent. most people are undisciplined; therefore, creating the whole trash problem, and they also spit and men pee on the side in fields of tall ass grass!! this doesn't equate as another supporting fact to "third world country" but it's also super hot here (maybe not in windy, no snow ripoff winter we have but still) and it makes things worse!! near my medical, whatever thing where i get my medicine for my problems there's literally stands selling goodies on the road because there isn't any space (and because there aren't any space, there's no bloody sidewalks, yet again). on the sea in one place there are literal houses on them, as in there's cables to support them up because those people don't have the money to get property (v sad :((). public bathrooms are usually very dirty here. fast food ones especially. however, it isn't really a perk but i guess that's why it makes us filipinos (i mean i'm speaking for myself but i believe that's the case tbh) really happy and in-a-good-way prideful when our country gets acknowledged and mentioned. we may be a third world nation but we're still getting recognition for our talents and people and that makes me ecstatic. when there's concerts here of musicians they always say we're such a loud audience (lol) and i don't know ?? i wouldn't - at all - live here voluntarily if given the choice but i don't hate the philippines completely. home - as in generally the whole philippines - is comforting to me and it does have it's flaws that i loathe but i guess i can't despise it thoroughly. i have hope we could be better (oh thank the lord when we improve drastically) and y'know what i think i'm going to be holding on to that really long :))
dang i've surpassed 600+ words oh no
what do u hate about ur country? what do u like about ur country? would u consider it home? i would really love to hear lol
bye sunshines !!
