My Mom will make my life a living hell if I disappoint her, also my Aunt who helps me out a lot (siya yung financial sponsor ko) will not be happy as well

Also, alam ko a lot of people would jump at the opportunity to become a resident/citizen sa US and the nerve of me to reject it.

Hirap lang talaga kasi masaya naman ako sa Pilipinas but my 2 close friends are encouraging me to go kasi iba pa rin daw may US passport

If thats the case, then go ahead and dont look back. Opportunity of a lifetime yan.

In most cases talaga people who migrate to western countries end up working blue collar jobs. Lunok lang talaga ng pride. Pero hindi naman permanent yun.

I’m also prepared to do that. Work blue collar jobs i mean. For a better future for my family.

Can we trade visas?
My recent trip has solidify my want to migrate there asap.

For a couple of years now, i feel like an ofw. Baliktad nga lang. Nagtratrabaho dito sa pinas for a year then go there for weeks para magbakasyon.

Just count your blessings since what you already have is what others want in the first place.

A blessing many pray for. No kids, no spouse, no baggage. No brainer, ma'am. A life of whatcudabeens can be meaningless. Carpe diem!!! Your only investment is time.
If this were a poll, LEAVE would be unanimous....Unless, you're among us, the foolish few, who opted to serve our purgatory sentence out, here & now.

recently I met one of my closest friends in San francisco dito sa BGC, they live in a beautiful town in the outskirts of San Francisco. I stayed there also some 9 years ago. I love their place.

now, they told me they want to come back here and buy a piece of land coz of this

California Wild Fire basta siusunugin na lang anything on its path, parang Scorched Earth ni Nazi Hitler pero this time nature ang gumagawa. even the fire fighters who are called to fight the fire. are dying also

they wanna be taken care of by competent govt. they wanna be in a country where human life has higher value

This is so true! I know a lot of people with very comfortable lives in the PH that left the country. Recently, I noticed even more FB friends migrating to the West (US/Canada).

What surprises me, even showbiz people are leaving the PH. They have fame and money here but still chose to migrate to a country where they will be nobodies and second class citizens (they aren't white)

an ex-classmate once told me na masaya din to live a normal life.

they can go to a mall, eat cheap/street food, and be a normal person.
