I survived three days without any entertaining device.even cellphones didnt have any network. i have to admit it was a very meaningful trip but i didnt exactly have fun, there were so many rules and regulations to follow. the citizens were the nicest people in the world and the community is the most benign place i have ever been. im not exaggerating. they were poor but unlike the poor in urban areas they're not politically concerned. there's not a sign of the slightest malice among people and they are educated. The place is a jungle touched by civilization, the people have televisions and radios though. i may have exaggerated before the trip but i take it back..hehehe...the bathrooms may be open but they were clean. i was able to deposit my poop that wouldnt flush..Haha..i'm not at all disgusted, those people have more values than us. to my friends especially to you alyssa--don't say EEWW YUCK or whatever expression of disgust you have because i bonded well with the people and if you guys hate probinsyanos you are discriminating those who are far more a person than you are and ever will be. just remember that your shite smells just like theirs (ang tae nyo kasing amoy lang ng tae nila) and they even breathe the fresher air. i learned a lot of things--what they have will never weigh less than what i have..our professor was furious when he saw one of my classmates not following the dress code and even wearing Lacoste. i understood him because i thought of the same thing--you dont have to flaunt the things you have to those who will never obtain them. in doing so you are stooping to the lowest level because you have the guts to make one of the most deprived people envy you. it's like flaunting your 500 bucks to beggars. they're not exactly beggars because their houses are semi-concrete and they're not starving. the community and the people befits exactly the definition of benign, they have never ever experienced crime of any kind. they leave their doors open at night and they even have curfews. they even cried when we left, i've never felt more appreciated, no one has ever cried at my departure when they've only known me for less than three days. this is my last journal entry and i wont be using this account anymore nor will i be using livejournal. i dont need to express myself any further and i dont care about showing my thoughts so that people would think i'm cool. wether you thing i'm cool or not i don't care..ciao..
