Feels Good to Be Home

Whew! 22 hours of flight schedule including 7 hours of stopover and the 9 hours direct flight, i could still feel the pain of sitting on an economy class flight, but who care what's important is i'm home again after almost 2 years of leaving alone in an unfamiliar place, away from the comfort of what i called mother land, Philippines.

Though many have change, i now felt / missed the hot and humidity (maalinsangan) feeling in manila. The noise that irritate, the street vendor and street foods that most regular pinoy grew-up with. Snack "merienda" is just around every corner, though now it has double the price, still it's on top of my to do list on my first week here.

Hay! After all this complain it stil feels good to be home, again!

Peaceful OFW LIfe

After another high profile crime committed by foreign worker or expat worker, Pinoy expat working and living in this part of the middle east can't help but be compare to other nationality.

But how are we OFWs differ? One thing is sure, the feeling of ease of being a Filipino is felt once more by many of our Kabayan. Life as an OFW is peaceful once more.

Personally i've only experience it again just recently after almost two years of my stay. The first was when i arrived at the airport (first timer eh) the immigration attendant ask if my nationality is a chinese (chinito kasi) i said Filipino, he stamped entrance to my passport right away, unlike the other nationality queued behind. The recent is from ordinary locals that i came long with to the elevators or taxi, telling Filipino kuwais or very good with their hand signing very good (thumbs up).

This only means that Filipinos amidst difficulties and discrimination can still battle their own demon and think straight not with retaliation but with a peaceful perspective. This is true for general Pinoy populace though we can't deny some isolated cases of Pinoy eaten by anger. Who can blame them, no one is perfect! Plus be aware of the Pinoy term for tolerance "pacensya" is also the same term for regretful.

Test Your Mind - Optical Illusion

Experience make a person perceive life differently. This is why every individual is unique from the rest. Your outlook in life is not the same as mine or even to your own partner.

Now with this picture what do you see?

If you see an intimate couple this mean you're a mature person who either experience or aware of this intimacy.

Show this picture to a child they will tell you about the 9 dolphins on the image. If you find it hard to see those dolphin you have a very corrupted mind. :D

Exhausting TV Series

Every night after daily news Filipino family are treated with loads of tagalog TV series that entertain Pinoy viewers. An all in one package of tv shows from drama, comedy, suspense, adventure and action from the hottest celebrities and biggest network. This started way back as i can remember and from then on it seem the theme has not changed. Though the production is more lucrative with more technology involved plus the advertisement.

Yesterday, because it is a weekend in the middle east, i had a chance to see the shows along other Pinoy enthusiast (exclude me, just can't change the channels) from both of the main networks available. Don't get me wrong but we were not entertained by the show but with many Kabayans commenting and making jokes of the shows lousiness. Who would not notice the same story line of love triangle between the "bida" and "contra bida". The main characters are both naive of what the antagonist is doing and thinking. The supporting characters support the protagonist stupid decisions. The antagonist being so clever and wise. (this is why my son always wanted to play the bad guys when playing with his friends) How the characters are all placed in a straight line facing the camera. How the characters deliver a script "walang kabuhay-buhay" not realistic. How the action hero is bitten so many times yet survived and make a come back in the end. The super hero is sluggish as a turtle in it's action scenes. Or the same actors/actress but with different character name and title show "di naman bagay iyng role, pinilit lang kasi popular. These are the reasons why i don't watch back home this tv series.

It was really a good and bonding experience when Filipinos meet sharing views and thoughts about a specific topic especially for Filipino entertainments, politics and issues. It ease the pressure of homesick. It show how Pinoy think even in bad situation. Cool di ba!
