—Reality Bites—
Friday, September 30th, 2005September has already ended, and
it seems to me that every day is just a glimpse of my eyes…Clocks tickle so
fast that sometimes I can’t remember what had just happened to me for the last
few days. I’m sorry if I don’t have a luxury of time to write here …maybe
because I’m still traumatized to my environment. I don’t have enough time to
spend with my family, and I miss them so much, I hate this feeling…especially
when my mom gets mad at me…may be she misses me…After staying here in manila
for almost 5 years…to tell you honestly I still miss my home…my own home, where
in I could enjoy the company of my relatives, cousins, my dear grandmother, my
aunties, and most importantly my mom. I miss them all especially the moments
that were together…
sigh*** I miss them so much but
I don’t have a choice… I wish I could have a choice…so that when I miss them, I
should go home and enjoy the moments that were together…but Philippines is so
unfortunate to have a good economic standing…and Filipina like me doesn’t have
a choice but to work 6 days a week, just to earn for a living.. Take note its
not just for your own self allowance, not even to sustain your families needs…
I wish we have a good economic standing so that families will enjoy their time,
without worrying for financial stability.
Sigh*** my mom always told me
that If I will strive harder for my dreams then nothing is impossible…but how
can I do that…if the government itself don’t recognize the importance of
financial stabilities of this country…that government should prioritized every
working individual whose giving the best that they can for their country… What
else does the can government offer…. With holding tax that’s too much to deduct
from the working individual…if your earning above minimum they will deduct more
than 2000 for your with holding tax…is that a reasonable amount…??? is that
they call help??? What else can they offer??? How much does a normal worker
could get, out of his net salary???…is it enough to buy the families food…clothing…shelter..education…emergency
situations??? How come their doing such things…
I wish I could do something…but
that’s one of the benefits that the government will take from you…If Filipino
have a choice…if only….we have a choice…
