“Nagsisisi na Filipino ka?”

I’m Filipino by the accident of birth, so it’s a bit illogical for me to say “nagsisisi ako na Filipino ako.” Regretting is something that is only valid if you had a choice in the matter.

Now, if I ever wished to be of a different nationality, I’d be lying if I say no. I can go on about my reasoning, but I won’t bother you with that.

Dude, I have no problems financially. I already got paid big from my occasional work that’ll last me for months (Yes, may budget plan), plus may passive income rin ako sa province (agri-business). It’s just sometimes, nabobored ako, pagkatapos ng chores ko, writing drafts, reading, and everything.

Nagsisisi ba ako naging Filipino ako? Sort of. Not because of work situation, but all the bullshitteries that majority influenced since 2016.
