Been looking at apartments in Madrid and did the math on recurring expenses like rent, food & utilities. This is what I found out —

PUTANGINA PARANG MAS MURA PANG MABUHAY DITO KAYSA SA PINAS! WTF?!

Yeah, taxes here are higher pero that all goes back to you in the form of social services. So yeah — bye Pinas na! 😊

Yes ateng. Di nila magets bakit ang Pinoy gustung-gustong lumayas ng Pinas kasi sila maganda ang social services, mura ang essential goods, lalo na ang healthcare. Kaya kung maganda ang economy nila eh stay talaga sila kay madre españa.

Happy for you 🥰

huhuhuhahaha. congrats mars! nag download na ako ng language course and uunahin ko español for sure. Jan ko din gusto pumunta (at manirahan).

Merong program yung Spain ngayon for residence visa.. baka pasok ka sa category ng 1) digital nomad / freelance or 2) annual income of € XX,XXX (nalimot ko ‘yung exact amount) 🤣

Also, mas masaya ata mambarda kapag in Spanish. Eme! 🤣🤣🤣

Ay mhie! Push mo na yan.

I'm watching telenovelas naman to brush up sa some spanish. Hehe. And listening to and singing along to spanish songs etc. forgotmyog

crysta17 : download ka ng Tandem app para may makachat kang Spanish speakers around the world.

crysta17 : tyronthedragon : or tambay muna sa Zamboanga city para makapag-practice.😅

ⒼⓁⒾⓉⒸⒽ⁰⁸ : I could ask my dad to teach me chavacano and ok naman din kasi I like some chavacano music din. Hmn...di lang ako masyado close kasi sa fam ng dad ko sa Zamboanga City. May mga problem in-laws and cousin...well...isa lang naman sa cousins, at least. ;^;

tyronthedragon : noted. try ko to soonish. maybe pag ok-ok na phone ko. ;^;

ⒼⓁⒾⓉⒸⒽ⁰⁸ : crysta17 : Chavacano is not mutually intelligible with Spanish, sadly. Pero according to my Spanish friends, they can understand, except for the Bisaya and Tagalog words. Try nyo pakinggan yung Spanish version ng Porque, may hawig pero iba pati na syntax.

tyronthedragon : My dad actually says the same. Yung chavacano doesn't really use articles daw but spanish does.
