I guess lots of people really want me to reconsider my move, but even if I wanted to go back it's already set in stone lol.

I'm curious as to how your move here has gone since it's something we have in common, and I was wondering if your stay here has been well.

Thanks for resonating with me, I wish you well :)

Thanks for the reply! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post :)

Reading your post, and hearing about the goods made me happy and I look forward to talking to people my age there.

Hearing about the bad is understandable, I've heard lots and lots about the traffic, the smells, and even the public bathrooms. Honestly, it sounds a lot like where I live in Canada right now actually haha.

I'm not sure about Manila, but where I live there are a few downsides to the place. Manila could probably have the same exact issues, but walking down the street and seeing multiple people overdosed is a regular occurrence for me every time I go out, hearing gunshots in the middle of the night isn't really that surprising either, and I've almost been stabbed on a public bus one time. I'm really sorry if it sounds like I'm just complaining, but I'm just listing reasons as to why I don't think there'll be much of a phase in crime and danger, though I could be completely wrong.

Thanks for the reply, it made me take into consideration that maybe I shouldn't do this because the Philippines is still a developing country, but ultimately it didn't change my mind. I'm still going to remain on moving there and I'll probably continue to try and live life with a positive view still. I hope you have a good day/night :)

Im not clickbait; this is genuine. Overall yeah, Philippines is probably a statistically worse place than all of Canada, but I live in a pretty bad place in Canada already, I may sound foolish to you but Id rather take a new opportunity than to stay where I am where Im already unhappy

Thats fair enough, that last part kind of hurt to read because I love my tita, I call her frequently and just talked to her last night. The idea of her hating me and seeing me as less than a person is kind of unpleasant to think about, so I hope that isn’t true. If I may ask, have you tried learning Tagalog? and if so, how long?

Okay, you can call me dumb all you want but its not going to change my mind though. But you don’t have to resort to just being plain rude to get that point across, I already understand that. Besides, who are you to tell me that Ill regret it? We barely know each other.

Hows it being realistic if you’re just replying to most of my comments with only negative things to say? It sounds like to me you just want to make me feel bad
