I’m happy that I belong to a Filipino family. :]

• We don’t FART in public.
• We don’t pick our noses in public.
• It is not okay for our parents if we get pregnant at fourteen.
• It is not okay for our parents if we have boyfriends at fifteen.
• But if ever we had one, they’ll probably watch out for our safety, and make sure it’s going to be a good one. 
• And they’ll make sure we don’t get pregnant.
• We don’t go out of the house without bras.
• Or even without undies.
• We follow our parents’ advices.
• We follow them our parents.
• Our parents work hard to raise us up in a nice way.
• They try to discipline us.
• And children do follow.
• We don’t leave home when we turn eighteen. But we still study in colleges.
• After graduating, we don’t leave home yet. We try to find job to support our family.
• If we have a stable job, that’s the time to marry (only if we are ready to take responsibilities.)
• We can be responsible at times.
• We’re generous.
• We’re hospitable.
• We try to be reunited with our relatives through occasions.
• We’re afraid of scandals.
• We’re not racists.
• We are born learning who Jesus and God are.
• And we love Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit.
• We’re raised to be a follower of God.
• We try to keep in touch with each other (family).
• We don’t judge foreign performers immediately. We try to idolize them instead.
• We ride JEEPNEYs.
• We hang pictures on our walls because we’re proud of our family pictures.
• We eat together, specially during dinners.
• We share food.
• We can speak English fluently.
• We try to sacrifice things for our family.
• Filipinas are beautiful.
• We’re proud about our complexion.
• We don’t talk about sex that much.
• We’re born into a conservative nation.
• We don’t have Sex Education in our country (yet).
• We’re responsible for our mistakes.
• We just marry one person (at a time: when such things happen).
• We are hard workers.
• Pornography is so illegal.
• Infidelity is so illegal.
• Illegal drugs are not tolerated.
• We always want a clean home.
• We love music so much.
• We admire our fellow Filipinos.
• We try to make wrong things right.
• We’re always reminded by the people around us to “Stop being stupid”.
• We respect older people.
• We respect other people.
• We respect respectable people.
• We respect ourselves.
• We take care of our own parents if they’re already too old to take care of themselves.
• We don’t throw our ageing parents to the home for the aged.
• We don’t let them die ALONE.
• We take a bath EVERYDAY.

And WE’RE NOT MONKEYS. TAKE NOTE OF THAT. We’re BEAUTIFUL CREATURES made by the hands of GOD. :)

And I am proud to be a Filipino. I’m not ashamed of it. :]
