This...this might be a little...je ne c'est pas. Take with a grain of salt. It's my social commentary on the Philippines and how WACKED they are sometimes.
I know you can't read all of it so I've provided captions below:
L to R
1. (My parents live in a shack...look how far I've come...) thinking to himself
2. Whoa! Is that my cousin begging for food over there?
3. (I can't believe I spent a quarter of my annual income on the phone...) thinking to herself
4. (I'm in this ad because I look white.) thinking to herself
5. Hey! We're one of the poorest countries in the world!
6. I'm not anorexic, silly, teehee, I'm just malnourished, teehee...
7. (If I let go of this wiper blade, I'll collapse...) thinking to herself
.....................................................
Anyway--I just think it's bizarre how A LOT of Filipinos live in really horrible conditions, yet own pretty nice motorcycles (albeit crotch-rockets). Or how they can't always eat well, but they always have load on their phone for text messaging.
I guess it's the same in any culture--we prize strange things like cell phones or our cars and neglect seemingly important, ney, fundamental things, like eating well and family.

Wow, that's ... sad ... and depressing! Very, VERY dry humour. But I suppose it must be true. Sad.
I believe it's the French influence, damn Sartre. Perhaps if you identified yourself as Punkaroo - the correct naming - you wouldn't be so nihilistic. The Ozzy take on life is quite refreshing.
Touche, mate.
