@poetrybybea Yeah i grew up similar to them too, except i learned my mother tongue first, then english, then tagalog. I also exclusively watched eng media. So moving to manila during SHS was a struggle. But I basically learned tagalog through chatting with locals at palengkes and karinderias.
when i was in middle school my stupid white ass would watch those videos about japanese urban legends and then be too scared to sleep knowing damn well i live in new jersey and hachishakusama probably doesn’t have a passport
My mom didn't raise a quitter but she did raise a tactical prodigy that has accessed the situation at hand and has determined that he doesn't really wanna do this anymore
