Filipinos as a superbeings: filipinizing the world

Was browing through google and found this interesting column...

"Filipino as a superbeing: Filipinizing The World"

let me qoute this line that catches my attention, well though I don't really like the content but It was really funny...
“the Filipino has a role to play in the coming world scenario…..We didn’t just export bodies. We exported our own brand of people and our own culture…..in the Age of Aquarius, the Filipino will be empowered, his sun will rise, he will govern and his real wisdom will shine…..” which presumably presages the fulfillment of our mission, spelled out in the headline, that of “filipinizing the world.”


How can we Filipinize the world?
We can filipinize the Japanese by convincing them that their fetish for punctuality is what makes them uptight and unhappy. (G/G cited a survey which showed the Filipino as the happiest and the Japanese as the unhappiest man in Asia). The Japanese get upset when their trains are 20 seconds late. They should learn to run their trains as we do: only when the engineers feel like it.


We can filipinize the Israelis by teaching their army how to pursue a band of 80 Muslim kidnappers with an invasion force of 6,000 troops, preceded by naval gunfire, artillery barrages and aerial bombardment from safe distances..


We can filipinize the Taiwanese by urging them to allow, as we do, communist labor unions in their industries, communist and pro-communist columnists in their newspapers, and communist front organizations dominating Taipei’s streets, so that in time Taiwan becomes a communist country while the Chinese mainland becomes totally capitalist.


We can filipinize the French by convincing them to build an LRT, a la Edsa MRT, on the magnificent Champs Elysees and the ritzy Rue de Rivoli up to the Ile de la Cite, with incredibly ugly stations at key stops such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Place de la Concorde, the Louvre Museum and the Notre Dame Cathedral. That should spark a real revolution.
(Just some of the examples full details read the column....)

I find this column really funny and very creative...
no wonder why everyone wants to go out of the country... heheheheheh

Filipino can find humour in every situation that's why we're used to just smiling and bearing our troubles.... And when need arises we rise up to the challenges

I am a Filipino although we have flaws I am proud to be a PINOY!

Day 2: Mickey is Busy


Man, I love tokyo disneyland! The place is soo beautiful. But I was abit disappointed coz Mr. Mickey is soo busy that he have no time to take picture with his fans.
We spent the whole day there taking rides and sightseeing the only problem is most of the time the announcement and the shows are all in japanese.
But we had a great time and fun.

Don't Hold Back....

Just bought this CD "Push The Button" by Chemical Brothers and really enjoy listening to this song....
World my time has come to... Don't Hold Back!!!


Galvanize
(By Chemical Bros. Feat Q-Tip)

(Don't hold back)
cuz you woke up in the morning with initiative to move,
so why make it harder

(Don't hold back)
If you think about it so many people do, be cool man, look smarter,
(Don't hold back)
and you shouldn't even care, about the losers in the air,
and their crooked stares,
(Don't hold back)
cuz there's a party over here, so you might aswell be here,
where the people care,
The world is holding back
the time has come to...


The world is holding back
the time has come to...(2x)
Galvanize,


(Don't hold back)
If you think about it too much you may stumble,
trip up fall on your face,
(Don't hold back)
You think it is time you get up fresh style
like a sit-up come on keep pace
(Don't hold back)
Put apprehension on the back burner,
let it sit, don't even get it lit,

(Don't hold back)
Get involved with the jam,
don't be a prick, hot chick
(Don't hold back)
The World


The World
The time has come to -
Push the button
The World(3x)


My finger is on the button(3x)
Push the button
The time has come to...
Galvanize

(Remembering) Saturday Crap

I forgot to post my wonderful experience last saturday... It's moday and looking forward to next saturday

waking up early in the morning on sat - is a crap
traveling 45mins by cab to the other side of the country - is a crap
6 hours of class session with no air condition - is a crap
eating in a fine restaurant served with a small slice of beef, and paying $30+ - is a crap
Sitting in starbucks and drinking coffee for 3 hours - is a crap
Arguing about the difference between men & women with 3 guys and 1 gal - is a crap
waiting for a friend in the information counter for an hour - is a crap
eating 7 variety sets of food with only 3 ppl - is a crap
walking along orchard road and finding out the liquid room is not in orchard - is a crap
playing pool when you are very tired - is a crap
but spending time with people whom you treasure friendship with is worth the crap!

Thanks for a crappy saturday friends!
I had a great time :) we should spend crap time one weekend together again!
Soon.
