Rants (Again) ?

I still remember those days in my previous company, where almost everyone has their own fair share of rants hehe. That I guess is still acceptable to some extent. (pakwento na lng kayo sa mga taong naiwan dun :p)

After I move here, I was surprized to see a few people with so much rants again.. (which I actually find senseless)

And this time, these people are complaining about boredom! That's it, just boredom. 'Walang magawa dito sa SG, puro mall lng' - bukambibig nila. Well SG is actually a small place, I read somewhere in a magazine that it's 1/8 the size of Cebu.

Philippines is a big country, but I dont think you get to tour each of the 7107 islands every weekend right.

They complain about the small salaries in Manila, about insufficient work-life balance.. so probably here are their criteria for working abroad:
-**high salary
-**cheap airfare for frequent vacation trips to Manila
-safe/decent environment
-low tax
-low cost of living
-better lifestyle/quality of life
-a big place for weekend out of town trips

I really feel like knocking them in the head and telling them:
'You idiots, there's no perfect place in this world. You probably should go back and relearn that there's such word as TRADE-OFF. You can't get the best of everything. You yourself are not perfect enough and do not deserve a perfect spot in this world.'

Dont take me wrong, I'm not a big fan nor promoter of SG. Even I still can't picture myself settling down in this country. Let's say that I'm just being fair. And as one of my favorite lines goes 'Everything is a choice'. Being bored is a choice. Tulungan mo ang sarili mo. Find things to do and stop being a loser. And besides, if you feel so strongly about SG being so small that can't provide you with weekend out-of-town trips, then shell out money and go to nearby countries.

Hehe it's been long since I've written an entry with emotions. I just got ticked off by these people who dont know how to be thankful for what they're getting, and worse they tend to overgeneralize that eveyone is like them too.
