For my next life, I want to be reborn in New Zealand

When it comes to the idea of the afterlife, I find the concept of heaven a bit… boring. Having your every need and want satisfied for all eternity? *Yawn*. I much prefer the idea of reincarnation, because IMO, it’s the ups and downs that make life interesting, even the one after death.

But I don’t want to be reborn in any random country. If I had a choice, I’d probably want to be in New Zealand. And if you asked me ‘why?’, I’d say ‘Well, why tf not?‘

Aside from sceneries that made LOTR’s Peter Jackson blush, the amazing cuisine that led to an Erwan Heussaff and Anne Curtis wedding, the world’s most powerful passport, and that gorgeous Kiwi accent (shoutout to BLACKPINK’s Jennie and my ex-co-worker, Josh), they just seem to have their sh*t together.

Just recently, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern revealed that they ‘beat COVID-19 again’. Again being the keyword here, meaning they’ve already beaten this f*cker twice, while we’ve barely made a dent despite the strictest and longest lockdown in the world.

Aside from the impressive numbers (25 deaths out of a population of 5 million), their local leaders have a sense of integrity and accountability. For instance, their health minister, David Clark, offered his resignation after being spotted on a beach trip. A goddamn beach trip.

Meanwhile, ours absolutely refuses to do the same, or even acknowledge that he’s fudged up. This, despite prioritizing China’s feelings over an early lockdown, confusing the pvblic (and himself) on what pandemic wave we’re currently in, and being embroiled in a PHP 15 billion corruption scandal.

It doesn’t matter that basically everyone and their mothers are asking him to step down. This is the Philippines we’re talking about, were politicians only leave their positions when they’re either dead or deposed.

In the end, take this article with a grain of salt. These are the words of a writer who has to shift every day through piles of crap littered with stories of increasing cases, disillusioned politicians, and Malacañang softbois.

But the pvblic definitely deserves better, better than being unemployed and punished by the decisions of a careless few. And at least for now, I’m just f*cking tired of it all.
