i have now the paper that'll ensure my passage to heaven.
Ang CERTIFICATE OF GOOD MORAL CHARACTER.
(tadah)
yeah, after weeks of trying, i finally get my hands on this piece of paper. i need it for my transfer to other schools. yes, i'll be leaving the only royal, pontifical, catholic university in the philippines. but i'll be very near.
anyways, speaking of good moral character, kanina sumakay ako ng jeep and my 5php coin fell. the driver told me to pick it up but i told him that it doesn't matter. we were already moving and have advanced a significant amount of distance from where i stood before, when i heard this little girl shout 'manong nalaglag ang limang piso niyo.'
i find two things peculiar about this.
one is that i was called manong by the girl.
another is that the girl opted to run and give me back my 5php than to rather stay behind and keep the coin. sweet girl. if everybody in this country is like that.
last night i had this conversation with a person about the government and its people. at first we were just sharing our opinions on why there is poverty in the philippines. but then our conversation became a debate when he said that the government was to be blamed for this.
i am not a rightist (tama ba?), but i don't think the blame should be put into the government alone. sure, most of them are corrupt. but how about the people?
people complain about how hard life is. people complain about how the government manages its country, how the government should do this and do that. but what have you been doing?
wala. wala masyado.
why do you make 12 kids when you know that you can't afford them? tapos you complain about how hard life is.
it's like when you pray that you win the lottery, pero hindi ka naman tumaya.
we should not blame the government alone. take a look at ourselves first. di ba?
oh yeah, i told the girl to keep the 5 pesos.
