I was at the shop and bumped into My Middle Aged Acquaintance.
She said, "Dito ka na?" ("Dito" means working in the island and staying in the island for good)
I just nodded. Then, she said, "Sayang naman..."
My response was a smile and a full view of my back.
I couldn't blame my middle aged acquaintance. One belief that has never ever left the island (although it's a city now and modernized and all) is, when you work in the city or when you work abroad, you are saving up a lot of moolah and you're sort of better than anyone else in the island.
Ho-hum, I present to you the sociology of our country.
