My birthday is September 10. September 11 2001 happened. While I'm not directly affected, it messed me up mentally because I thought I had something to do with it. It didn't help that the year after, I saw Space Shuttle Columbia on the launch pad in what would be its final mission.

I saw the 3-episode premiere. The sexual assault scenes are limited to that episode. You should be fine.

I look like I'm straight out of school, sometimes people explain things to me like I know nothing.

Not that I think they're automatically malicious. Sometimes I find myself in the "explaining" position because I think not explaining makes me sound I'm cooped in an ivory tower.

Increasingly common Hoopla W.

Kanopy also has a good selection. They've got a few Sentai stuff and was surprised when I saw Amagi there of all things.

Interesting. It's both the feeling and the act for me.

I got my first 5G-capable phone noong Dec 2023, right before I visited PH from a sizeable city sa US. Mas nauna ko pang maranasan ang 5G sa Manila kesa dun sa local area ko.

 

In my opinion, yes.

Leaving is the best way to remove the negative exceptionalism present in your mind, reducing the perpetually-insular outlook when it comes to PH. "Only in the Philippines!" yeah, try living overseas for some time before you believe that.

It works both ways. You want to experience the better things the world has to offer na wala sa Pilipinas? Enjoy it to your heart's content. Or are you there to learn about the good and bad lessons learned by the foreign country and later return to contribute something constructive? Good for you and keep the growth mindset and heart of curiosity.

internet is relatively fast and affordable

Words I never thought would go together when pertaining to the Philippines lol. Not that I'm complaining, it has no downside.
