true. even my mom is "pushing me away". she said i should try to live in USA or canada. that's even farther that just staying here in the Philippines and to think that i'm the only child, i'm glad my mom doesn't really think that i'm oblige to take care of her in her old days. cause we're millenials and it's 2017. time has changed. but it doesn't mean that we dont love our family anymore, it's just the way how it supposed to be has changed.
