Living In America

I am Bikoy. I am a little boy. How are you? Fine, thank you. I'm living in America for 2 years and 3 months. I have a wife, daughter, and a son. My wife's name is Kaye. My daughter's name is Nikki. My son's name is Goji. We already got used living here in the land of milk n' honey. But we are still living a Filipino lifestyle. We eat Pinoy food all the time. We speak Tagalog in our house. We're not like other Pinoys trying to have an American accent. We have a good life here. We have a nice house and all the things we need. We can buy anything we want. I bought the best super bike, RC51 Nicky Hayden. I also have a formula kart (ferrari of go-karts) and all the big boy toys that I like, Pinoys are dreaming about. Pero nami-miss ko pa rin ang karag-karag kong motor Honda 9o, 1960's model. My wife and I have a stable job. My kids are consistent honor students in good schools. My daughter is in middle school while my son is still in elementary school. We live in a nice place, 40 minutes away from Lake Tahoe. Our place is like Camp John Hay in Baguio, Philippines. Peaceful, cold, and picturesque. One of the safest place to live. No traffic, no pollution. Wala ka nang hahanapin pa. Sobrang tahimik. We already traveled around the best places here. San Francisco, LA, Las Vegas, etc.... Pero para sa amin, mas maganda pa rin ang Pilipinas. But(ewan ko ba?) one day, we're still hoping to go back home, to the Philippines. Nasanay kami yata sa gulo at saya ng Pilipinas. Maybe it's the people, culture, food, surroundings, uncertainties, and chaos. Most of the Filipinos are dreaming to come here. But for us, it's the opposite. Pero sayang ang opportunity. And for my kids to be educated here and to be well-rounded. We all know the Filipino colonial mentality. So I want them to have the advantage. It is also our way of helping our country. We want to earn here and bring the money back to our country. Ayaw na naming makipag-agawan(baboy) sa trabaho sa Pilipinas. We have to admit that we miss our life in our country. Kahit na middle class lang kami doon. Definitely, we will go home in a few years time.

Until Next Time
