...but, for sure, I'll go back. I still owe this country almost everything. It's like a dysfunctional mother or something. You may find her broken and damaged but she's still your mother. :)
omg, exactly. Ahaha. I feel iffy about leaving the Philippines because of feelings akin to that (and also my own general fear of failing hard and being all by myself aaaa), but reading this post makes me realize you're right. To even get the resources to help out here, we have to go out first. omg, parang OFW nga. Except not exactly. Ufu.
It makes me sad though, that we have to go out in the first place to do that. :( *shakes fist at government*
Aun, haha, this post made me feel better about the abroad thing. Random ko. Pero tenks. It means a lot. :3
Haha! You're lucky you can start kagad. Ako, I have tons of work to do just so I can go abroad to study. Hopefully I have wonderful relatives willing to help me out. :D
And no big. Pilipinas is really fucked up that's why we have to leave. We just need to fulfill our duties by coming back and making this country a little less fucked up, at the very least, for the next couple of generations. Idealistic as it may sound but if everybody does one right thing--even simple ones--then maybe there's hope for this country. :)
And I'm not too surprised about going out of the country to get "resources." Especially if one must pay a hefty price to read crap like Twilight in this country, what more if it's something more valuable di ba?
LOL am I making any sense? (And nasingit ko pa yung pam-b-bash ko sa Twilight dito)
Well, not exactly "agad" -- I don't think we actually have the resources (lol abuse of the word now!) to actually go... so I need to plan and think really hard about this... and probably look for scholarships, pero uguuu scholarships really really scare me. ;m; Applying for college was scary enough. Haha the effects of being too sheltered!
Grabe nga ung book thing e. How the hell. Blessing na nga kung makabili ng isang libro (I know someone whose condition is like this D:)... fffff.

I've read a blog somewhere (LOL sorry forgot to bookmark the link) that has a clearer explanation about the book thingie. Well, I did get the point that new books still manage to get into the shelves of stores and that most of the books are still cheaper here. I also understand that the availability of some books depends mostly on the discretion of the bookstore.
Still, I can't understand the idea how customs managed to overrule an international agreement just because they saw an opportunity for additional income and, of course, red tape. Fuck those bastards.
Haha! Naging ranting. :) Anyway, good luck to us in finding a scholarship! Malay mo, maging schoolmates pa tayo or something. :D
I've always wanted to serve this country but I think I'll need extra resources to do just that. I was thinking the same thing, you know, especially when it comes to our field (the arts). It's like there are SO many good artists in the Philippines but no one gives a shit. It's sad and very frustrating.
I want to take my MA abroad too, and come back to UP and be a professor xD
I'm already convinced that I won't be good enough for a scholarship abroad so I'm dead set on an MBA in Peyups. Maybe we can be classmates or something if you decide to go to UP instead XDDD
