I checked out r/philippinesbad and I actually liked it. While it was designed to whine about r/PH, they at least take the time to disprove why the thread is wrong unlike sa r/2ph4u na iyak at conspiracy theories lang about the moderating. If nagre-reddit pa ako, I probably would have applied there as a dual mod. lol.

And about Australia, hindi ako nakatira dun but most of my relatives are and nakapunta na ako dun. Kahit bayaran mo pa ako 1 million to live there, I won’t. Ang mahal mahal ng basic necessities, mami-miss mo yung 200 pesos na gupit or 500 para ayusin ng karpintero mga issue sa bahay. The weather sucks lalo na pag Christmas na daig pa summer natin dito sa init. Yung internet diyos ko po, minimonopolize ng dalawang carrier (Optus and Telstra) na nagpapaligsahan sa bagal at hina ng signal. And to think proud na proud tayo na Telstra was supposedly going here, lol. May racism to the point na yung car ng pinsan ko vinandalize with slurs while parked outside on a party. Ang aga magsara ng mga shops. Food is expensive. Insulin is expensive. Lahat expensive, haha. Yes, malaki sweldo but that’s to cover the high cost of living. Pag nagsisimula ka pa lang dun, kawawa ka.

But may mga okay din naman about the country. I’m just saying that it’s not all hunky dory as most people make it out to be. I’m not going to a different country just to start over and slowly make my way to the top. If that’s you, then good for you and I wish you all the luck. But I’m fine here being able to enjoy life even if it’s not exactly something you could brag about.

2016 ata kami nagpakabit ng fiber from Converge for 1500 na 150mbps ata. That’s more than enough for most use cases and relatively cheap. Fast forward a couple of years later and pati yung ibang telco may fiber na mura na rin at mas mabilis. Kaya di ko gets why they’re hyping Starlink unless nasa Benguet ka, lol. Or these complaints about our internet speed. Yes, if ikaw si Juan Cruz sa Purok 2 it’s out of your budget - but so is 90% of everything. But generally speaking, our internet isn’t the shitshow as it was from 2005.
