Hello love!
If you ask me, how was Manila?
It was great! But what, do you know what makes it a great country to visit?
The people :)
The loveliest people/citizens/hoomans can be found here in Philippines!
They will never disappoint you, trust me.
The moment I stepped my feet in this country (Jan 13th), the first person I met was the person who's in charged in stamping my passport (customs I think idk what is it lol)
He asked why would I come here and which university I'm going to etc.
The way he talked make me so calm and comfortable (I'm usually nervous when it is time to talk to customs)
He even wished a good luck and told me to enjoy my stay in Manila :)
and then a week after that, I jatuh sakit.
Like I vomited for 6 times during the night and also cirit birit.
I went to the Health Service inside UST (University of Santo Tomas)
After getting the result from the lab, I was assisted by a doctor.
He told me everything about Philippines like the glory times of this country etc.
I would love to pay attention to his words but I wanted to puke so I told him that I want to puke.
Guess what, he stood up and literally pulled me to the nearest sink and asked if I wanted some energy and felt better so I said yes.
He was so nice like I didn't have to pay but he offered me a bed and also provided me a nurse (male and he's so cute and nice and he's so cute did I say it again sorry)
"Tell me if it hurts"
"Are you okay?"
"You seemed like a person who never does the chores cause we can't find your veins"
isn't he adorable? He took my hand slowly while finding the veins while the doctor continuing his story on Philippines lel.
and I met few nice people well technically they are Vindy's friends (Vindy is my roomate and she's from Indonesia)
They have like a restaurant and they treated us dinner and they were so nice and cute and nice T___T idk why everyone here is so nice I can't T___T
However, I went to the local market few days after my arrival and I swear to God I hate that moment and I don't wish to remember it.
I saw a kid without her pant and I didn't know where the fuck was her mom/dad. She was technically peeing without realizing it.
and I saw a man soundly asleep by the street like it was the best nap he gotten.
I saw a dog looking for food and her nipples are currently swollen so I guessed she was pregnant (I hate this part)
I was lucky I went there with a friend so I wasn't fully focus on the situation but it kept bothering me the whole night and I told my parents about this.
They said it was normal to see stuff like that in every country, and they told me to get used to it (I'm trying really hard)
So yeah, so far everything here is nice and pretty and cloudy, I don't know, I like it here :)
