An article that best describes the personality and values of a pinoy.
Pinoy
A must read for every true blue Pinoy even those Pinoy at heart.
Published on 08 Apr 07 in the Phil. Daily Inquirer. Please read and
enjoy.
MANILA, Philippines -- Pinoy is what Filipinos call each other, a term
of endearment. You're Pinoy from Pilipino just like you're tisoy from
mestizo or chinoy from chino.
It's a nickname just as Minoy is from Maximo, Ninoy from Benigno, Tinay
from Florentina and Kikay from Francisca. But now they're Maxi and Ben
and Tintin and Cheska.
You've been called indio, goo-goo, Negro, flip, noypits. Or Filipino, a
biscuit that is brown outside and white inside, or a word stricken
from the dictionary which means domestic. Ay, lintik!
You're Juan de la Cruz or Mang Pandoy. You're common tao, masa, urban
poor but also Cecile Licad and Don Jaime, Jose Rizal and Tony Meloto,
Shawie and Pacquiao and Nick Joaquin, galing galing.
Born June 12, 1896, the Republic of the RP is a Gemini, good at
connecting, good at loving-loving, good at texting and interpersonal skills.
Filipinos like to yakap, akbay, hawak, kalong, kalabit. We sleep side
by side, siping-siping, we go out kabit kabit.
There's lots of us to go around. Someone always to listen to a sob
story, even in a jeepney, to share-a-load or to share a TV.
*Everyone's tit o, tit a*
Who has a hipag, a bayaw, a bilas, a balae, a kinakapatid? Who has an
ate, dete, diche, kuya, diko? The maids call her ate, the driver calls
him kuya and everybody is tit o or tit a.
Who has a Lola Baby, a Tit o Totoy, a bosing called Sir Pee wee, his wife
Ma'am Lovely and their kids Cla Cla and Cring Cring?
The Pinoy lives in a condo, a mansion, an apartment, a bahay na bato,
ilalim ng tulay, Luneta, Forbes Park, and Paris too!
He's a citizen of the world, he's in all the villages and capitals,
colonizing the West, bringing his guitar and his bagoong, his walis na
tingting, his tabo, his lolo and lola.
Where there's a beat, there's a Pinoy. You'll find her singing in a
nightclub in Tokyo, a musical in London, the Opera House in Sydney. Sure,
they've got the infrastructure, the theaters and architecture. Who but
Pinoys direct their plays, or trains their company managers, and
imports our teachers, by the way?
*Viagra to Victoria's Secret*
Look at that baggage all pasalubong, none for herself. From bedsheet to
hair color, Toblerone to carpet, Viagra to paella pan, Victoria's
Secret to microwave.
Hey, Joe, don't envy me 'cause I'm brown, you'll get ultra violet from
that sun and turn red not brown.
Just lucky, I guess. God put us all in the oven, but some were uncooked
and some were burned, but me, I came out golden brown!
Hey, Kristoff! Hey David and Ann! Your Pinoy yaya makes your kids
gentler, more obedient, she teaches them how to pray. Hey Big Brother!
Hey Grandma Moses! Who but Pinoy nurses make your sick days easier all
the way?
We made the jeepney, the karaoke, the fluorescent bulb, the moon buggy.
We invented People Power and crispy pata; popularized virgin coconut
oil, scaled the Everest and made it with Cebu furniture abroad among the
best. Ever trying for the Guinness World Record with the longest swim
of a child, the longest kiss, the longest longanisa?
*Linguist*
The Pinoy is a linguist. As in. As if. For a while. Open the light.
Close the light. Paki ganyan naman ang kuwan sa ano. Tuck in. Tuck out.
Don't be high blood. If you're ready na, I'll
pass for you.
Hayop; Hanep! Bongga ka 'day, feel na feel kita, kilig to the bones
ako. Don't make wala, don't make tampo. Taralets na, babes, let's go,
nababato na ang syota mo.
I'm inviting you to my party, please RSVP. Oo means "yes" or "maybe,"
or "yes if you insist," or "maybe if it doesn't rain."
"Yes" is also a nice way of saying "no." Yes, hindi kita sisiputin.
"No," eto na ako at ang barkada ko. Please don't ask a Pinoy a question
like that!
*Just flows*
She's not so exact, not so chop-chop, she just flows and flows.
Filipino time? Naku, huli din naman ang Kano!
The Pinoy finds time to be nice, to be kind, to apologize, to be there
when you're depressed, to help you with your utang and your wedding
dress.
The Filipino is a giver, never mind what it does to his liver, never
mind what it takes. Hardships of the Third World don't dry up his blood,
they just make him more compassionate, more feeling, of the other guy's
lot.
Note that the maid sends all her wages home to ailing daddy. She is the
OCW whose labor of loneliness created the original katas ng Saudi.
*'Bahala na'*
The Filipino is fearless, bahala na si Batman, which actually means
Bathala na or "leave all to God." Okay lang if I die by bitay, okay lang
if I live, okay lang if I survive by the skin of
my teeth.
Saway ni Inay: Di ka naman Bill Gates, di ka naman French, mahirap nang
magbuhat ng sarili mong bench.
Be Pinoy!
Enjoy!

Now scroll down and check what/who you are ... but?
decide first before you scroll down.?
This is pretty enlightening! !?
The following describes your character:
CHEST: You are a practical person, straightforward and do not? beat
around the bush. To you, convenience is of paramount importance. You
hate to be distracted when concentrating and are impatient with people
who do not see things your way. You are a good sex partner? and
willing to try new things.? Your best partner in life will be those
who chose HAIR.
FACE: Money is important to you and you will do anything to get it.
Integrity and dignity is not important. You feel that friends are
there to be used and life is one big hassle. Other people find it hard
to understand you but you are not concerned as to what they think.
Very self-centered person. Below average sex partner as too selfish
and tend to be absorbed in self-pleasure at the expense of your
partner. Your best partner in life will be those who chose PRIVATES
and OTHERS.
ARMPITS: You are a dependable and hard working person. Generally a
very popular person as you are very down to earth and willing to help
others. Tend to get? yourself into trouble as you cannot tell whether
people are genuine towards you. Trusting type. You make very poor sex
partners, as you are the working type with average talent. Do not
always consider your partner's needs. Your best partner in life will
be those who chose SHOULDERS.
HAIR: Artistic, creative, caring type. Positive thinker.? Daydreaming
is your hobby but you can achieve what? most other people cannot! You

loyalty, kindness, intuition are your main strengths. Your best

PRIVATES: Shy type. You lack self-confidence and tend to be
misunderstood by others. Find it difficult to share yourself with
others. You do not have many friends as others sometime find you
boring and unresponsive. Perseverance is not your strength and you
tend to give up easily and at the first opportunity. However, you make
an above average sex partner. You are able to show your true emotions
to very few people. But, in sex, you find your inner strengths. And
you find sex a safe avenue to share your true mfeelings. Your best
partner in life will be those who chose FACE and HAIR.
SHOULDERS: A born loser. You fail in almost everything that you do.
People dislike you and you tend to spend your time alone. Your type
has been known to be heavy gamblers and drinkers. You see the world as
a living hell. Money and power are also important to you, but your
luck will always fail you. You make a lousy sex partner. You will find
it difficult to find a partner in life. Those who chose ARMPITS are
your only chance.
OTHERS: You are a very average person. Undoubtedly, you have your
inner strengths but people find it hard to see. You must learn to be a
little bit more adventurous and sell your potential. Deep down, you
are a very likable person with very few faults. However, the key will
be to make your strengths stand out and not just hide your weaknesses.
You are an average sex partner. You have great fantasies about
different techniques but unfortunately are not brave enough to try
them out.

Why I am Single Male
- Cooking my own meals would be an adventure, not a punishment.
- I wouldn't have to explain why I'm wearing "that" shirt with "those" pants.
- I could leave the toilet seat in any position I damn well please.
- I could actually tell the bartender, "If anyone calls, I'm here".
- I'd be painting the town instead of the house.
- When I get home after work, I don't have to start work again.
- I could show my girlfriend where I live.
- I'd be driving a miniskirt instead of a minivan.
- The only weeds I'd be concerned with are the ones I'm rolling.
- I would have saved 372,416.21 dollars in groceries by now.
- I wouldn't catch so much grief about those skid-marks in my underwear!
- I'd get to see what my paycheck looks like.
- I'd get to see what my credit cards look like.
- You can see a different face when you wake up in the morning, every day of the week!
- Going to a strip club doesn't have to be a covert mission.
- Bachelors don't have Mother-in-laws.
- I wouldn't have to watch sub-titled French films.
- I could home drunk to sleep, instead of under a bridge.
- I could use my own name at hotels.
- I wouldn't have a driving instructor grading me every time I go somewhere.
- When asked his opinion, a single guy can say "Hell yes, you're fat!"

HUMAN BODY

Human Body
1. Don't stick out your tongue if you want to hide your identity. Similar to fingerprints, everyone also has a unique tongue print!
.
2. Your pet isn't the only one in the house with a shedding problem. Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour. That works out to about 1.5 pounds each year, so the average person will lose around 105 pounds of skin by age 70. 3. An adult has fewer bones than a baby. We start off life with 350 bones, but because bones fuse together during growth, we end up with only 206 as adults.
4. Did you know that you get a new stomach lining every three to four days? If you didn't, the strong acids your stomach uses to digest food would also digest your stomach.
5. Your nose is not as sensitive as a dog's, but it can remember 50,000 different scents.
6. The small intestine is about four times as long as the average adult is tall. If it weren't looped back and forth upon itself, its length of 18 to 23 feet wouldn't fit into the abdominal cavity, making things rather messy.
7. This will really make your skin crawl: Every square inch of skin on the human body has about 32 million bacteria on it, but fortunately, the vast majority of them are harmless.
8. The source of smelly feet, like smelly armpits, is sweat. And people sweat buckets from their feet. A pair of feet have 500,000 sweat glands and can produce more than a pint of sweat a day.
9. The air from a human sneeze can travel at speeds of 100 miles per hour or more -- another good reason to cover your nose and mouth when you sneeze -- or duck when you hear one coming your way.
10. Blood has a long road to travel: Laid end to end, there are about 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. And the hard-working heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood through those vessels every day.
11. You may not want to swim in your spit, but if you saved it all up, you could. In a lifetime, the average person produces about 25,000 quarts of saliva -- enough to fill two swimming pools!
12. By 60 years of age, 60-percent of men and 40-percent of women will snore. But the sound of a snore can seem deafening. While snores average around 60 decibels, the noise level of normal speech, they can reach more than 80 decibels. Eighty decibels is as loud as the sound of a pneumatic drill breaking up concrete. Noise levels over 85 decibels are considered hazardous to the human ear.
13. Blondes may or may not have more fun, but they definitely have more hair. Hair color helps determine how dense the hair on your head is, and blondes (only natural ones, of course), top the list. The average human head has 100,000 hair follicles, each of which is capable of producing 20 individual hairs during a person's lifetime. Blondes average 146,000 follicles. People with black hair tend to have about 110,000 follicles, while those with brown hair are right on target with 100,000 follicles. Redheads have the least dense hair, averaging about 86,000 follicles.
14. If you're clipping your fingernails more often than your toenails, that's only natural. The nails that get the most exposure and are used most frequently grow the fastest. Fingernails grow fastest on the hand that you write with and on the longest fingers. On average, nails grow about one-tenth of an inch each month.
15. No wonder babies have such a hard time holding up their heads: The human head is one-quarter of our total length at birth but only one-eighth of our total length by the time we reach adulthood.
16. If you say that you're dying to get a good night's sleep, you could mean that literally. You can go without eating for weeks without succumbing, but eleven days is tops for going without sleep. After eleven days, you'll be asleep -- forever!

The word is out Choclate in moderation can be good for your heart and Spirit. Yes surprisingly a little choclate each day can help your heart and put you in a better mood.
Dark pure varieties are the best. If you are on a sugar resticked diet there are still ways to get this healthful fix as there are some pure choclate products designed for you.
Again the advantage is not in the sugar content thats packaged with most choclate but if your not on a serious diet you can splurge on most any choclate product.
Note : Milk choclates are not as concentrated with the good benifits and has lots of the suguars you really don't need.
Many people don't know this but one of The Hershey Candy Company's main missions is to support many orphan and endangered children. Hershey C.C. has supported and provided for many thousands of children that for some reason did not have proper home lifes or parents that could care for them . I know this is factual as my sister and brother in law both work with Hershey to help these disadvantaged kids and give them a better chance at a decent life . They both love this work.
Hershey has facilities to room, board, support, care and train these young children to become more independant. The Hershey family has left this legacy to the disadvantaged children.
Give someone a Hershey Bar or a Kiss 
Have a sweet Friday and enjoy

office party
The morning after the annual office party blow out, John woke up with a pounding headache, cotton mouth, and utterly unable to recall the events of the preceeding evening. After an urgent trip to the bathroom, he was able make his way downstairs, where his lovely wife put some coffee in front of him with two aspirins.
"Louise," he moaned, "tell me what went on last night. Was it as bad as I think?"
"Even worse," she replied, voice dripping with scorn. "You made a complete ass of yourself, succeeded in antagonizing the entire senior management, and insulted the regional manager to his face."
"He`s an asshole. I should have pissed on him."
"You did," Louise informed him. "And he fired you!"
"Well, screw him!" yelled John.
"I did...you`re back to work on Monday with a raise." She purred.

Needs
A professor of mathematics sent a fax to his wife. It read:
"Dear wife, You must realize that you are 54 years old and I have certain needs which you are no longer able to satisfy. I am otherwise happy with you as a wife, and I sincerely hope you will not be hurt or offended to learn that by the time you receive this letter, I will be at the Grand Hotel with my 18-year-old teaching assistant. I'll be home before midnight. - Your Husband"
When he arrived at the hotel, there was a faxed letter waiting for him that read as follows:
"Dear Husband. You too are 54 years old, and by the time you receive this, I will be at the Breakwater Hotel with the 18-year-old pool boy. Being the brilliant mathematician that you are, you can easily appreciate the fact that 18 goes into 54 a lot more times than 54 goes into 18. Don't wait up."

REGULAR HEALTH MISTAKES
|
Feb 26, 2008 6:20 am
Mood: calm,
625 Views
|
All of us make little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run - simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong.
Here are some of the most common mistakes made by many of us.
Crossing our legs
Do you cross your legs at your knees when sitting?
Although we may believe that this is the lady-like elegant way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs.
If you don"t want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs and compromise your health, uncross your legs every time you realize you have one knee on top of the other.
The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the floor, balancing your weight equally. If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side.
As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles.
This is a classically elegant way to sit, and is far better for your legs and your health than sitting with your legs crossed at your knees.
Not changing our toothbrush
How often do you change your toothbrush?
Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public.
However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often. Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right.
Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.
Eating out often
There are oils that are high in cholesterol, and oils that cause little harm and are better for your heart.
However, no matter how light the oil is, it is never a good idea to eat too much of it.
Avoid fried foods.
Remember that in all probability your favorite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal.
Rita, who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish. No wonder the customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt so stuffed and heavy afterwards.
Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you"re getting served light and healthy food.
Skipping breakfast
Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly.
If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner.
High heels
High heels sure look great, but they're murder for your back.
This however doesn't mean you should steer clear of stilettos. Wear them, but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear them when going out for lunch or dinner - when the only walking you will be doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats. Is there something about them you dislike?
Invest in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will then enjoy your flats as much as you do your heels.
Sleeping on a soft bed
You don't have to sleep on the floor be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don't need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank.
Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.
Pillows
No matter how comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist. Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick. If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow
if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on your back, to give your neck adequate support.
Not exercising
So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal.
Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change.
Make the change now.
You don't need to train for the marathon to be in top shape. Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health.
You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.
Today's Message of the Day is:
Life is short. Break the rules. Forgive quickly. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.
I wish you enough of everything

A Girl is giving directions to her new boyfriend to get to her apartment.
She says: "You come to the front door of the apartment complex where I live and look for apartment 14A, and with your elbow push button 14A. Come inside and you'll find the elevator on the right. With your elbow hit 14. When you get out of the elevator you'll find my apartment on the left. With your elbow, hit my doorbell and I'll open the door for you"
The boyfriend says: "Dear, that sounds very easy to find, but why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow?"
"Oh my God!! You're not coming empty-handed, are you?"

A man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home. He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:
"Dear Lord, I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through, so please allow her body to switch with mine for a day. 'Amen'. God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man's wish. The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman. He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, fed them breakfast, packed their lunches, Drove them to school, came home and picked up the dry cleaning, took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit, went grocery shopping, Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the checkbook. He cleaned the cat's litter box and bathed the dog.
Then it was already 1 P.M. and he hurried to make the beds, do the laundry, vacuum, dust, and sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home. Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework, then set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing. At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, he cleaned the kitchen, ran the dishwasher, folded laundry, bathed the kids, and put them to bed. At 9 P.M. he was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren't finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.
The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said, Lord, I don't know what I was thinking.. I was so wrong to envy my wife's being able to stay home all day. Please, oh please, let us trade back." The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied, "My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You'll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night."
