Don't You Care?
One of my good friends here in the US asked me if I know of a company who sponsors H1 visas. Para daw sa brother niya. Gusto na daw niya kasing kunin, kasi daw “sayang ang talino” sa Pinas.
Sayang ang talino?! Bakit, dahil hindi siya nasuswelduhan ng dollar equivalent ng sweldo dito sa US? Does he even care about our country’s brain drain?!
Kumulo talaga ang dugo ko. I guess it’s just really hard for me to accept that a lot of my good friends just really don’t care about their country anymore. Kung lahat ng Pilipino ganyan mag-isip, that all educated Filipinos don’t belong in the Philippines and are wasting their talents and skills at home, wala na talagang mangyayari sa Pilipinas.
My poor country. Don’t you worry. I cherish “wasting” my skills and talents for you and your citizens, para kahit papano may nagawa ako para mapabuti ka. Intay ka lang sandali. I am coming back.

Go Mel! Na miss ko katarayan mo a!I remember those days na palaban ka sa ating boss! hahahahaha. I think those where the good times of filgifts, the time it is tamed and control. Ngayon kasi out of control na! Messy! Tsk tsk tsk.
Hope to see you soon.
aguy...di talaga nawawala ang motor mouth moments mo no?!? hehehe...i know what that's like, kahit na ba the call of the dollar is so strong, i can't bear to leave this country. i guess swerte lang ako at hindi ko pa kailangan tugunan ang tawag ng mataas na sahod...kahit na ba wala talaga akong maipon dito!!!
mare! its my first post on your blog spot! hehe. honestly i sometimes hate reading blogs, because it makes the loneliness more evident. kakamiss ka talaga. i miss ur witty comments and funny anecdotes like these. now i have to do a zillion steps just to read your blog... eh dati kwento kwento lang! oooh jst wanted to say im intrigued by the comment abt filgifts being messy. is that u teapot? well she's right tho. those were really the BEST times. :) HAAAAAAAY. i guess that when u line up your goals and think of ways to attain them, leaving is really one primary option. :( sad to say. Looking on to the bright side,im sure bubuti naman ang mga bagay bagay dito. Just like in any office or work, when you think it's worth sweating it out and waiting, then maybe patience is a virtue diba? :)
Mare happy happy birthday to you!!!
