By the way I'm totally not Filipino. I just live here.
One thing I've learned to do is to just completely lose hope in the government and the country, so that anytime
shit like this happens, I can just go "chever, what else could have happened anyway?" and not feel too devastated and not have to worry about where the country's headed, because it's only a matter of time!
This patriotism thing really doesn't work.
edit: (verbatim) DAD: haha, so you don't have classes tomorrow, well guess what! I'll allow you an extra HALF AN HOUR so you'll just have to go to bed at 11:30!
Go to hell.
