SHIKIMIKIE

There are certain things that I'm very lucky about. But I'm not gonna talk about it all. One is that when all these things happened, is that I am in Japan. Because hey, life is probably too short for second chances. This is in chronological order by the way. Not that it really matters. 

First, when I finished shopping for goodies, I returned to my room and spent like a couple minutes wondering nothings when it hit me. There's something missing. Then I looked for it. Where is my wallet? I was then certain that it was not with me and I was definitely dead. Cash cards, credit cards, and some cash. But most of all! My PRC license which in no way I can replace so soon now that I am away from my mother land. I remember leaving it in my bike basket and since I was that unlucky (oh not really) I even parked it in front of the mansion where it's kinda public because I would be getting out again soon. Sweet! I then hurried down and than goodness! It was still there. 

Second, this happened on the same day by the way. I went to the train station's shopping place to get more stuff and parked my bike at its proper parking place and when I was checking some stuff, I heard something fell. Then mothereffer, I realized I don't have my key. I have a spare key at home which lessens any worries of my key losing but then I was like, if I lose this, I have just one more left and no spare! Which sucks. Anyways, I know I looked crazy looking everywhere like under everything and making rounds probably at least three times before I call it a day and then just to check, I went to the parking and saw the key still in there! LOL. Stupid. 

Third and the last. I buy my e-Ticket every month because it cuts off the cost of actual buying tickets everyday into half! Almost! So I bought my ticket shortly after my last ticket expired and then on my way to work, I was able to exit Sagamihara so I know I still have it that time and I was actually careful that I placed it on its card holder and stuff and then when I was about to enter Nakayama, no more card!! Searched literally everywhere to find it but no luck in finding the thing so I was like, hopeless!! As much as I want to look for it longer, I have work to attend to so no. I reported it to authority and carried on. They said they would call whenever there's anything. Two days later, no call so I thought I'd just move on. When I was about to buy a new ticket though, the guy was like thinking hard about something and he didn't even excuse himself and left. I didn't mind though because I know that it might have something to do with my ticket and it did! Apparently, someone surrendered my ticket at Shin Yokohama and he asked me if I could pick it up and yeah I did pick it up and voila! Reunited with my ticket. I wouldn't probably panick if it's less than 3000 yen but then yeah. That's all!

If you ask me, there's really nothing wrong with what she've tweeted. Also, she didn't say anything that isn't by bit true. I have complained about informal settlers myself so I'm obviously with her in this. What disturbs me is that people are reacting like crazy!! Why though? I've read the comments and it really made me go nuts. Nakakahiya naman sa inyo. We are all entitled to our own opinions but this is like, out of bounce. At least for me. 

She's obviously a working individual and she probably pays more tax than half of those who commented and said those nasty things. If I were her, I would have said the same thing too. I sure wouldn't want my hard earned money to be spent on people who CAN work but are too lazy to function and blame the government instead. This isn't about how the Philippine Government function but whatever. I want it to be spent on something I could benefit from. Sabi nga nila, gamitan lang yan. But what the heck is happening? I'm not saying that they shouldn't be taken care of. Come on, even grown ups need a little bit of care sometimes. I'm just saying that they shouldn't be the priority or something. And I'm not saying that they are being prioritized either. But that's what it looks like to me. If they are promised something, most likely, they wouldn't want to make an effort to speed up the process. Far from reality but maybe if the government wouldn't promise them anything, maybe they would do something to make their lives better than just to whine and  wait for the government's blessings. Asa pa diba. Sad but that's true for some. Funds should go to the health and education department. Mostly. Also, tourism. 

Can I just touch on this topic a little bit? What annoys me the most is that most informal settlers don't want to be relocated to where the government want them to be placed. I bet some place where it's legal for them to stay. But of course to avoid overcrowding of the city capital and stuff as well. But what? They come back. And they come back bigger! I don't mind if they actually have work here but those who don't, WTF? They were also saying that they don't want to move because they feel like they were being isolated. Right. Kaya nga informal settlers. Meaning, you don't belong. Illegal. Informal. And hirap naman. Then some of them would say that they can't afford the fee that these relocation centers require. Then you would see them drinking beers in the afternoon and in the middle of the night. Also, gambling! Playing BINGO and stuff. Not true for all but this is what I see so I can't really decipher why people are hating on Bianca.  Shame on her shame on her pa. If you're not doing anything to help these informal settlers find a better place to live and to not actually make their lives easier, SHAME ON YOU!

Props to Yeeshii Tobia for being on Bianca's side because that really made me feel like there's hope! There's still hope!
