Finally, we had a mini-eyeball last July 19 at Marugen Dream, Davao City. You can read my post in Espiya.net. Follow this LINK.

It wasn't until lately that I have come to notice that there was something wrong with my vision. Aside from the fact that I can't see clearly from a certain distance where a normal person could see, I also have a hard time distinguishing certain colors. There were times that S.C. and I often argue about the color of a certain object. I am pretty sure I am seeing green, but she insists everybody knows it's yellow. Sometimes I see red as brown, maroon as black, or even yellow-green as yellow.

I have ordered a guide book for my CGFNS exam from their website to help me pass the test. They shipped the package last June 13 and expected to arrive at my address last June 19. Everything seemed to go smoothly as I tracked the package using the tracking number they provided, until it reached Manila, Philippines last June 16.

Since then, no activity has been observed in the tracking page. It is now June 20 and I still haven't received my package.

I can definitely say that almost all services here in the Philippines suck! It only took three days for it to arrive from Philadelphia, USA to Manila, Philippines. How long would it take to reach here in Davao City? Probably after my exam.

I am a bit ambivalent after reading this article. It momentarily made me proud of being a Filipino because of all the praises the author addressed to us. But if you analyze it closely, you will definitely be ashamed of your own country. Filipinos choose to work abroad because there is almost no hope for us here in the Philippines. Even doctors choose to become nurses just to experience that greener pasture beyond our country's boundaries. Engineers become taxi drivers. Company managers become garbage collectors. All these because of our country's very poor economic state.

How about you? What are your insights?
