HAY BUHAY AMERICA TALAGA!
(Anonymous: English mistranslation by Reyna Elena)
Akala ng mga tao na nasa Pilipinas kapag nasa America ka akala nila madami ka ng pera. Ang totoo, madami kang utang, dahil credit card lahat ang gamit mo sa pagbili mo ng mga gamit mo. Kailangan mo gumamit ng credit card para magka-credit history ka, kase pag hindi ka umutang o wala kang utang, hindi ka pagkakatiwalaan ng mga kano . Pag wala kang credit card, ibig sabihin wala kang kapasidad magbayad.
People in the Philippines thinks that we in America have truckshit of money. Truth is, we have truckshit of debts! Ok?! We use credit card for just about anything including wiping our ass! Understand that we need credit card to have a credit history. Por que? No credit history? No credit. No credit? It means you can’t afford! You can’t afford? It means purdoy ka Dong! Wa ka datung. At pag wa ka datung, it means… No sex! Git it? Hahahaha!!!!
Akala nila mayaman ka na kase may kotse ka na. Ang totoo, kapag hindi ka bumili ng kotse sa America maglalakad ka ng milya-milya sa ilalim ng init ng araw o kaya sa snow. Walang jeepney, tricycle o padyak sa America ..
They think that just because you drive a Lexus, a BMW or a Mercedes – we are rich! Crap!!! [Ulol!] Truth is, if you don’t have a car, you don’t get a date coz you have to walk to the bar! you have to walk to work! You wanna take a hike in deep snow or in boiling summer heat? You people try it! Tingnan ko lang kung sinong magka-kulogo! Listen to us, there are no jeeps nor tricycle here, ok? Not even a padyak!
Akala nila masarap ang buhay dito sa America . Ang totoo, puro ka trabaho kase pag di ka nagtrabaho, wala kang pangbayad ng bills mo sa kotse, credit card, ilaw, tubig, insurance, bahay at iba pa. Hindi ka na pwedeng tumambay sa kapitbahay kase busy din sila maghanap buhay pangbayad ng bills nila.
They think, life in America is wonderful! La! La! La! Truth is, it’s all work! Work! Work! Work! Because if you don’t work, you got no money. Got no money? Got no yosi. Got no yosi? Got no drinks. Got no drinks? Got no friends. No friends? Mag-emote kang mag-isa mo! git it?
Akala nila masaya ka kase nagpadala ka ng picture mo sa Disneyland, Seaworld, Six Flags, Universal Studios at iba pang attractions. Ang totoo, kailangan mo ngumiti kase nagbayad ka ng $70+ para makarating ka dun, kailangan mo na naman ang 10 hours na sweldo mong pinangbayad sa ticket.
They think life is lovely in America because you sent them pictures from all these beautiful places in America. Truth is, it took you 5 years to save on your freaking vacation, ok?! So, now! You have to smile on the camera to pretend! HAHAHAHA!!! Oh, did I mention that those people waiting in line were probably looking at your weird because you look and talk different? Huh!
Akala nila malaki na ang kinikita mo kase dolyar na sweldo mo. Ang totoo, malaki pagpinalit mo ng peso, pero dolyar din ang gastos mo sa America. Ibig sabihin ang dolyar mong kinita sa presyong dolyar mo din gagastusin. Ang P15.00 na sardinas sa Pilipinas $1.00 sa America , ang isang pakete ng sigarilyo sa pilipinas P40.00, sa America $ 6.50, ang upa mo sa bahay na P10,000 sa Pilipinas, sa America $1,000++.
They think your take home pay is as big as Donald Trump’s ego! Truth is: Php15 sardines is $1 in America. Php40 pack of cigarette in the Philippines is $6.5 in America. Php7,000 2-bedroom apartment in the Philippines is $1,200 in America. What about your state, city, local, county, borough, school district taxes? Did I mention federal? Oh shit! I forgot all of those unemployment shit! Wow! There’s even unemployment insurance! Wait! Anybody understands SDI deductions???
Akala nila buhay milyonaryo ka na kase ang ganda ng bahay at kotse mo. Ang totoo milyon ang utang mo. Ang bago mong kotse 5 taon mong huhulugan. Ang bahay 30 taon mong huhulugan. Ibig sabihin, alipin ka ng bahay at kotse mo.
They think you’re a millionaire because you have a nice house and drives a luxury car. Truth is, your stuck to the mortgage of your house dude! You’re stuck to your monthly car payments dude! The new car has to be paid in 5 years. The house will have to be paid in 30 years. In reality, we’re all stucked to our house and our car forever! This is like prison term, ok?!
Madaming naghahangad na makarating sa America . Lalo na mga nurses, mahirap maging normal na manggagawa sa Pilipinas. Madalas pagod ka sa trabaho. Pag dating ng sweldo mo, kulang pa sa pagkain mo. Pero ganun din sa ibang bansa katulad ng America Hindi ibig sabihin dolyar na ang sweldo mo, yayaman ka na, kailangan mo ding magbanat ng buto para mabuhay ka sa ibang bansa.
Even Arroyo wants to live in America!! She’s always here! HAHAHA!. We know, it’s tough to work in the Philippines. More often than not, you’re always tired and your salary is not even enough to buy food, wine and women! America? It does not follow that just because we earn dollar, we are one of Forbes millionaire. Truth is, we work like a horse to live decently here just like everyone in other countries! Ok?!
Isang malaking sakripisyo ang pag alis mo sa bansang pinagsilangan at malungkot iwanan ang mga mahal mo sa buhay.Hindi pinupulot ang pera dito o pinipitas. Hindi ako naninira ng pangarap, gusto ko lang buksan ang bintana ng katotohanan.
It’s a great sacrifice to leave your concubines behind. It’s a great sacrifice to leave all your boytoys and boylets behind. The place where you were born, became man and grow up as a woman! In America, mangarap kayo but we don’t sweep dollars on the streets! We work hard like crazy to earn them! I’m not shooting your American Dream down. I’m just telling you the hard shit reality here!
Now, let’s get back to PPP and Review Me. Naka-magkano na kayo dyan?
I have no clue who wrote this one. If you do, let me know so I can give some proper acknowledgement. I got this from my friends in Philadelphia and apologies talaga sa original writer! Napag-katuwaan ko lang po! Hahahaha!!!!
