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!

THOUGHT PROVOKING

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big notice on the door on which it was written:
“Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth
in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral
in the room that has been prepared in the gym”.
In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know, who was that man who hindered their growth of his colleagues and the company itself.
The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room.
The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.
Everyone thought: “Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!”
One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.
There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:
“There is only one person, who is capable to set limits to your growth:
IT IS YOU.
You are the ONLY person who can revolutionize your life.
You are the only person, who can influence your happiness,
your realization and your success.
You are the ONLY person who can help YOURSELF.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limited beliefs, when you realize that you are the ONLY one responsible for your life.
THE MOST IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIP YOU CAN HAVE IS THE ONE YOU HAVE WITH YOURSELF! ”.
Examine yourself. Watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: Be a WINNER, Build Yourself and Your Reality.
The world is like a Mirror. It gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed.
The world and your reality are like mirrors lying in a coffin, which show to any individual the death of his divine capability to imagine and create his happiness and his success.
It’s the way you face Life that makes the difference.

ACTUAL AUSTRALIAN COURT DOCKET 12659---CASE OF THE PREGNANT LADY
A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man
opposite her was smiling at her.
She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again.
The man seemed more amused.
When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to
the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court.
The judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself.
The man replied, "Well your Honor, it was like this:
When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition.
She sat down under a sign that said, 'The Double Mint Twins are Comin'
and I grinned."
"Then she moved and sat under a sign that said, 'Logan's Liniment will
reduce the swelling', and I had to smile.
"Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said, "William's
Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself."
"BUT, your Honor, when She moved the fourth time and sat under a sign
that said,
'Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident'... I just lost it."
"CASE DISMISSED!!"

LOVE QUOTES
"We are told that people stay in lovebecauseof chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with eachother,because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of ithas gotto be forgiveness and gratefulness."EllenGoodman
If youlovesomeone, you give everything you can and don't expect toreceiveanything in return.
Lovecantouch you just one time but it can last for a life time. .
Nooneis too young for love, because love doesn't come from yourmind,which knows your age, but from your heart, which knowsnoage.
They sayittakes a minute to find a special person An hour to appreciatethem Aday to love them But then an entire life to forgetthem
It's hard to find someone whomyoutruly love, much less to find someone who loves you as much. When the chance comes, don't ever let go.
Love isnotabout finding the right person, but creating a rightrelationship.It's not about how much love you have in the beginningbut how muchlove you build till the end.
Themostamazing feeling in the world is to look at someone you reallycareabout� and know they feel the same way about you
"Arelationship is like a rose, How long itlasts, no one knows; Lovecan erase an awful past, Love can beyours, you'll see at last; Tofeel that love, it makes you sigh, Tohave it leave, you'd ratherdie; You hope you've found that specialrose, 'Cause you love andcare for the one you chose." RobCella
"He whohasnever experienced hurt, cannot experience true love". TristanJ.Loo
"Amemoryof true love is like a favorite song; No matter how manytimes itplays again, You never get tired of it."
"Ifyoujudge people, you have no time to love them." MotherTeresa
"A partofyou has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and metogetherforever; and never apart, maybe in distance, but neverinheart."

MY HARLEY DAVIDSON

[/BThis guy has always dreamed of owning a Harley Davidson. One day he has
finally saved up enough money so he goes down to the dealer. After he picks
out the perfect bike, the dealer tells him about an old biker trick that
will keep the chrome on his new bike free from rust. The dealer tells him
that all he has to do is to keep a jar of Vaseline handy and put it on the
chrome before it rains, and everything will be fine. He happily pays for
the bike and leaves. A few months later, the young man meets a woman and
falls in love. She asks him to come home and meet her parents over dinner.
He readily accepts and the date is set. At the appointed time, he picks her
up on his Harley and they ride to her parents house. Before they go in, she
tells him that they have a family tradition that whoever speaks first after
dinner must do the dishes. After a delicious dinner everyone sits in
silence waiting for the first person to break the silence and get stuck
doing the dishes. After a long fifteen minutes, the young man decides to
speed things up, so he reaches over and kisses his woman in front of her
family. No one says a word. Emboldened, he slips his hand under her blouse
and fondles her breasts. Still no one says a word. Finally, he throws her
on the table and has sex with her in front of everyone. No one says a word.
Now he is getting desperate, so he grabs her mother and throws HER on the
table. They have even wilder sex. Still no one speaks. By now he is
thinking what to do next when he hears thunder in the distance. His first
thought is to protect the chrome on his Harley, so he gets his jacket,
reaches in his pocket and pulls out the jar of Vaseline. The father say,
"Okay, f*** this. I'll do the bloody dishes".

There are several men sitting around in the locker room of a golf club. After a round, showering and getting changed for the 19th hole.
Suddenly a mobile phone on one of the benches rings. One of the men picks it up, and the following conversation ensues:
(H - Husband, W - Wife)
H - "Hello ?"
W - "Honey, it's me. Are you at the club? "
H - "Yes."
W -"Great! I am at the mall two blocks from where you are. I just saw a beautiful leather coat. It's absolutely gorgeous!! Can I buy it?"
H -"What's the price?"
W - "Only $1,000."
H - "Well, OK, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much..."
W -"Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2005 models. I saw one I really liked. It's a SLK model. I spoke with the salesman and he gave me a really good price. And since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year...
H - "What price did he quote you?"
W - "Only $65,000..."
H - "OK, but for that price I want it with all the options."
W - "Great! But before we hang up, something else...
H -"What?"
W - "It might look like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and I stopped by the real estate agent this morning and saw the house we had looked at last year. It's for sale!! Remember? The one with a pool, English garden, acre of park area, beach front property."
H - "How much are they asking?"
W - "Only $450,000 -- a magnificent price.. .and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover..."
H - "Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid up to $420,000. OK?"
W - "OK, sweetie...Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!"
H - " Bye...I love you too..."
The man hangs up & closes the phone's flap. The other men are looking at him in astonishment and derision. The husband raises his hand while holding the phone and asks " Does anyone know who this Cell phone belong to???"
