This city! Is my city! And I love it, yeah I love it (despite the dirt, the shit, and the traffic).
The truth is a bitter pill to swallow, and it doesn’t get any more bitter nor truer than that blog post linked up there. Quick! Send it to P-Noy! Oh wait, on second thought, don’t, cause he most probably would just do something inconsequential like ask the guy for a public apology, or (gasp) make him persona non grata like the infamous Claire Danes.
This blog post has apparently been circulating around for a while (a while, meaning 3 days lol) but this is the first time I’ve read it, and unsurprisingly, so many Pinoys are butthurt about what that guy said. But come on, wake up and smell the Pasig! Everything said about Manila and the people running it is true. How many times do we have to be insulted till we make a change?
I don’t know if I’d rather confront my emotions or distract myself from them. When I’m faced with these strong feelings, especially hurtful ones, I have this tendency to just retreat into a shell. Inside this shell, there’s numbness - an escape from all the things I’m feeling. But this numbness somehow also makes me feel less human.
