on loving the Philippines...

naalala ko lang...

while we were in starbucks tagaytay yesterday with the mendoza family [tito obet, tita raz, ate uann, irish] and kuya kirby.... we bumped into a topic about the philippines...

napagusapan kasi ung issue about working abroad... while i was listening to the conversation... i realized a lot of things... haha... it really feels sad when you open your eyes to the reality....

-more and more people opt to work abroad because you can earn more money there... i think there's nothing wrong about that as long as your only motive is to support your family... but not to bring them with you and settle onto a 'greener pasture'... as long as you support the philippines and not forget you're still a filipino...

-more and more students choose nursing as their future career... not because they like it but because they want or their parents want them to work abroad... again, i have nothing against those people... i just feel bad about it... OTHERS... well, they just plan working abroad... kahit hindi nurse... nakakalungkot pa minsan kasi kahit UP student ganun din iniisip... hindi ba pilipinas at mga pilipino ang nagpapaaral sa atin???

-six days from now, election day na naman... i remember what ptr.ronald quoted in the sunday preaching: 'the promising season ends the election day; the day after the election, alibi season begins and lasts for the next several years'. it's funny but it's true...

anu nang mangyayari sa'tin?? sa bansa natin?

it really feels bad... actually, marami pa ko narealize pero yan na lang post ko for now...
then i read a promise in jeremiah 33... "[v.6] i will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security."
