oas,
Filipinos outside the philippines never try fit into whatever country their in. and not one decent Filipino pretends to be a first world citizen.
wherever we are, the place fits with us. no pretensions atleast from us... the whole world loves us, we cant do anything with that.........
Ganda naman ng sinabi mo, and I have to agree.
Sa experience ko dito sa tate, yung discrmination among different races or color of your skin, lalo na sa financial status kung mayaman or mahirap mas malala talaga sa Asian countries kaysa dito sa West. When I get together with my Asian friends, each of us have to admit na ganyan talaga sa Asia like China, Pakistan, India at sa atin sa Philippines.
Ang isa sa napatunayan ko dito sa West, kapag MATALINO ka yuyuko sayo mga tao kahit anong panget ng itsura or kulay mo.
(Modesty aside ha, Pucha! pero pogi ako.
complete package ba, hehehe!
)
When I went for a 2 week vacation in the Phil last July, one of my friends told me one the best compliments I ever heard. When I was away, he said that the Cingular managers told them this:
"When Mike speaks up, everybody shuts the [strawberry] up and listen! When this guy starts to talk, he really goes down to every technical details that everybody will back off. So you'll know that he knows what he's talking about."Kaya yan ang nagustuhan ko dito sa labas, basta may pinag-aralan at masipag mayroong nararating.
