-Imagine you live in the Philippines
-Imagine you suspect yourself to have mental ill health or some disorders because of social aversion but never had it checked due to its cost and your family's socioeconomic background
-Imagine you are also experiencing some symptoms of something wrong with your physical health, and anyway you've never really been as healthy or well-physiqued as your peers at any prior age
-Despite all of this, you are granted escape and replenished determination by doing what you like in your free time
-Imagine you work 9 hours a day
-Have a vow to never let yourself be personally dependent on fossil fuels
-Take your 6-hour sleep at the office because there's nothing to ride home at 11 in the night. Somehow none of the rail transits operate past 10:00 PM. There are no jeepneys either because the drivers of those are a self-employed artisan labor caste, so they dont drive in shifts and they follow a normal diurnal sleep schedule
-Your sleep is uncomfortable, public, disturbed and troubled by all the layers of clothing you're wearing
-You have to go home to warm up with warm water and let a little sweat by not using the fan because air conditioning for 14 hours had already frozen you up like an ice pop
-Wake up, carrying the fucking pillow through the corridors and lobbies, and up the elevators to stuff it in your backpack and go home
-You have only 5 hours 30 minutes free time
-1 of these hours goes to preparing for work, leaving only 4 hours
-Within this span of time you also have to take your shower, cook your food for the entire working day and maybe do some other house chores
-Today however, you only have 3 hours 30 minutes time for yourself because of a notice that you cant enter the locker room to get your items until 30 mins later because it's mandatory cleaning THAT IT ALSO SAYS ENDED 3 HOURS AGO
-Guard tells you “You're lucky actually, we used to wait 1 hour longer than that”
-Back of the line at the crowded train station. The security personnel touches you when you know they don't have to since they have their little detectors. So stressed out you almost use your office ID in place of your train station card
-Arrive home and fry one small pack of cancer laden hotdog or ham that has holes in the meat to eat for the entire day and the next day's breakfast (the cheapest way to live you can imagine since ONE meal at the office costs 60% more than the entire pack)
-Take one breath of air, then get ready for work
-You are technically out working 14-14 1/2 hours a day for 21% of the lowest minimum wage in the country the company you work in is headquartered, and your big tech client company that is the largest in its category continues to absorb humanity into a thoughtless grey goo at your expense
-Have to think about the progressing inflation and how this would affect public transportation fees
-Consider yourself to be lucky being a low-income earner rather than impoverished, and that your grandparents won a lottery for government employees 3 decades ago which allows you to live without paying rent
