Yes, I'm a certified PROBINSIYANA.
I was born at M'lang, North Cotabato and grew up at Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat. When people hear those places they quickly ask me if I'm Muslim. Then, ask if Mindanao is a very chaotic area. You're wrong people! Mindanao is more peaceful than this big city and not all people living there are Muslims.
There are so many things I enjoy doing back in my province.That I can't do here. I can do everything I wanted there without wearing any mask. I'm more confident, more free, and unbound. But here, Its like a cell full of people wearing different masks. Trying to be someone who are not what they are. People here are full of pretensions, trying to fit in a group which they really don't belong to. That's me right now, I'm trying to fit myself with the people whose personality is far different from mine. But that what life is, change is constant.
Another thing I realized is that, in the province, you don't need to spend a lot of money to enjoy. Here, you're going to spend a lot just to be happy. There, you can be happy all day with the things you heard and saw. But here, happiness is fading right away. If you don't have any money to spend, you can't be happy.
So far, I'm enjoying my life here in The Big City because I have that so-called-thing "money". Which I can use to buy my happiness. But, what if I'll run out of money? Can I be happy?
I really miss my hometown, I want to go back there and chill out with my high school friends.
