Sometimes it can be so inconvenient to send money back home to the Philippines. This parody video of Aegis' OPM song "Ulan" shows the struggles I used to go through to send money to my mom. Ay naku! Stress! - Mikey
"Remittance Shop" lyrics:
My mom called me today from Pilipinas
She needed money to pay for the hospital
And so I grabbed my coat and umbrella
It was raining on the way to the remittance shop
So here I go to the remittance shop
I had to leave my job and had to skip my lunch
To send money to my Mommy in Pilipinas
I’ll do it all for Mamma I’m going to remittance shop
When I arrived at the remittance shop
The line was super long like for Noah’s Ark
I got inside the shop had to fill paperwork
The pen was so oily I sprayed it to kill the dirt
So here I am at the remittance shop
I got so bored and tired I’m waiting here so long
To send money to my Mommy in Pilipinas
I’ll do it all for Mamma I’m waiting at remittance shop
It’s finally my turn I’m next in line
And suddenly the lady says we’re closed for lunch. What?!
I freaked out like crazy I waited long
I yelled and shouted: Lady, I need to send this money!
So here I am at the remittance shop
The lady closed the shop so she could eat her lunch
I need to send money to the Pilipinas
I’ll do it all for Mamma I’m shouting at remittance shop
My mom picked up the line explained my problems sa kanya (to her)
But then she told me: Ay, wag na (Oh, don’t bother)
Your brother sent me money na (already).
I said: OMG, Ma! Why didn’t you tell me kanina pa (earlier)?
I could have avoided my blow up
How did you get the money, Ma?
Your brother sent it online na (already)
He used this app called Xoom, anak (my son)
Just slide and send it na agad (instantly)
