my parents and i jus had a serious discussion on where to put me for college. i want to go back home to manila, philippines for uni then take my masters abroad. my mom(shes filipino) fully supports me wanting that because she jus wants me to be happy n she knows that if im happy ill work so hard. my father (european) however, who doesnt know me as a person, is strongly suggesting i go to australia (cuz its the 2nd cheapest option), because he says that graduating from australia would look better on my CV/resume than from graduating from the philippines. which could be true in most cases.. but as i told him.. im scared that going to australia will be a risk of me working hard. i wont be happy. ive never been there n id have to take up months jus to adjust.. whereas if i go to philippines ill feel settled, comfortable, n ill get straight to studying n working hard in uni. i didnt do good at all last year in school n this year ive been making up for my bad grades working really hard cuz i thot my dad was ok with me going to phils for uni nxt year. but now hes come up with this australia thing.

my mom n i have explained to him why i want to go to the phils:
-its my home
-if im happy n comfortable ill do my best
-ill take my masters abroad after going to philippines cuz i know ill do really good there for uni
etc..

i forgot the rest.. but do any of you, who are asian or eurasian or watever sorry! =) who have had this kind of problem in the past but got away with it n ended up where u always wanted to be (back home in asia for uni).. wat was ur argument? wat convinced ur dad, ur mom or both ur parents to let u go where u wanted to go instead of where they insisted u to go?

u get my situation? help =( later today or tomorrow morning we'll be having one last discussion bout it saying my decission n i must atleast have a good like 'speach' or watever to why haha u know wat i mean. cuz this is big.
