I find many Filipinos stupid


I’m sorry to say this since I’m also a Filipino. 
I’m really fed up of people always in the streets and SHOUT. They kept on organizing a rally and then shout in the streets the things that they don’t like. WTH?! Their usual problems are no jobs, FARE PRICE HIKE and the like. Corruption for me is the most OVERUSED reason to organize a rally. I mean hello, whatever you do, people won’t listen to you that easy for them to stop being corrupt. 
okay, so here’s the stupidity:
No Jobs
They say that the government is not doing their job to secure jobs for Filipinos or that there is job shortage. SO how in the world can they look for a job when all they do is go in the streets and organize a rally? Tell me! Does their constant shouting there will do any good? What if they just used the time they spent in the streets to look for job? They might have find a good paying job. Gosh ~~
Second is that that our government keep on telling us to take up these courses like IT, HRM, Culinary and other courses that they say is what many companies need now. They also said to preferably avoid Nursing cause there’s too much nurses now. What do people do? They take up Nursing. For Hell’s sake people, can’t your common sense tell you that there are too many nurses and that MAAAAAAANNYYY of them doesn’t even have a job? IT is one of the courses that is in demand now. Technology is changing and many companies are hiring people who have knowledge about Technology. Perhaps if we’ll just take the courses that is in sync with the jobs available now, maybe only a few Filipino are jobless. 
Finally, many thought that they should have PROPER education to have a nice job. Technically saying, yes, getting a proper education is an asset for you since many companies require college graduates. But even if you’re only high school or elementary graduate or just even an elementary undergraduate, you can still have an ‘education’. What is ALS and TESDA for?
FARE PRICE HIKE
Just this week, many students (from U.P. O.o) were having a rally about this fare price hike. As I was watching this one, I just thought of one things, “How dumb can they be?” I mean hello, they’re the “Skolar ng Bayan” but then didn’t even one of them thought of the reason why there is such thing as Fare Price Hike?
Okay, here’s the pattern. Fuel Price goes up, Fare price goes up. The simple pattern that even the non-genius people can understand. But the problem here is that these students are saying that why the students are affected by this one. Yeah, I kind of get that too. Why the hell are we affected by the Fare Price Hike? We are not workers and it’s only from the baon of our parents we get our money. So why should we be affected of this hike? Oh, I know why. BECAUSE WE ARE ALL RIDING A JEEPNEY! stupid!~~
Can’t you just sacrifice even one peso to add to your fare? Do understand that these drivers also have family on which they need to give their earnings. Let’s say the government didn’t imposed yet the price hike. Each driver usually has a quota and they need to attain this quota at the end of the day. For example, if the daily quota of the drivers is 350 and his earnings for the day is 900, the fuel lets say reached P40 from its previous price of 38. The driver then bought fuel that amount to P200. In the end, that means that he only have 350 as his personal earning. See the logic?
So you see, Fuel price hike and Fare price hike are PARALLEL!
hate me with all you like but this is just two of the stupid things that I can see in my people. Puh-lease! grow up and think rationally people. and quit saying things like “wala pang nagagawa si Noynoy” or “Noy-Noy is useless”. 
in the words of my Econ teacher: “Mag-research ka muna bago ka magdakdak diyan. Hindi mo naman alam yang pinagsasabi mo”.

What are the things that my family doesn’t know about me?


  • I can feel ghosts. Yeah, right. This may sound absurd but I really do. I can also see ghosts but that’s kind of not so usual for me. I can feel ghosts more. this means that I can sense if a ghost is following me or somewhere near me.
  • I want to be a theatre actress. Weird you may say but I really do. I want to be up there in the stage and act. I want to be someone who I’m not for even a short time.
  • I want to travel the world. I want to go to places that amaze me like ruins, museums and amazing infrastructures.
  • I sometimes cry myself to sleep. Being an only child means that you don’t have any siblings to go to when you have any problems. So that means that I have to deal with things myself even if that means heavy problems. These are the problems like friends, family and stuffs … so all I do is to cry :’(
  • If I’ll be a mother, I don’t want to be like my mom. My mom is the best mother if I can say. But the part that I don’t want to be like her is where she works away from me. Everyday, I long for my mom and just wants to hug her. If I would have a child, I’ll try my best to have a work that will enable to go home everyday and prepare food for my child.
  • I want to be a JOURNALIST … I know that they know (maybe) that I want to be a writer … but what they may not know is I REALLY, TO THE HIGHEST LEVEL, BONGGANG-BONGGA wanna be a writer. Writing is my passion and I really want to pursue it.
  • I want to be a fashion designer and photographer. Next to being a journalist, these are the two jobs that I want to have. These are what I like … unfortunately, my mother dislike the idea of me being a photographer and I suppose that telling her that I want to be a fashion designer is out of the question.
  • In college, taking up Psychology is just my way in saying to them that I don’t want to be a CHEMIST or a NURSE. Being a Chemist and Nurse are what my parents WANT me to be. Shocks … sorry, not interested.
  • When someone yells/scolds to me and I’m infront of the computer, prepare for my rants against you in Twitter.
  • They don’t know my mannerisms. Seriously, I’m more of myself at school with my friends rather than at home. I don’t know why.
  • Listening to music using earphones when in front of computer means that I don’t want to be distured.
  • I hate it when they keep on asking me to do things for them. For crying out loud, can’t you even put a mug to the sink?! Lazy ass.
  • I cuss. Yeah right. I use shit … to cuss. However, at home I don’t.
  • I first learned to cuss when I was still little. I used to hear my grandparents curse to each other and then I just picked it up. Now, they tell me that if I learn to cuss, I might have picked it up from some of my friends. Yeah right.
  • I want to party. Sometimes, I’m so bored here at home and I just want to go out with my friends and have some fun. Even going to a sleep over is like telling them that I’m going to America for a year.
  • I just forced myself to choose Psych because I don’t have much choice in terms of courses.
  • I WANNA STUDY AT HARVARD! I’ll do my very best to even get a scholarship there. (p/s: some people think that I’m joking but I’m freaking serious here people!)
  •
