Ginagawa natin yun dahil sa strong need natin to belong. Hahanap at hahanap tayo ng kakilala kahit saan tayo pumunta, para hindi tayo completely nawala sa comfort zone natin.
Which I think is wrong. Pumunta ka sa Australia to embrace the Australian culture. Makipag kaibigan ka sa mga Aussies at pag aralan ang pamumuhay nila. Diversify. Wag sumama loob mo sa mga Pinoy na hindi ka pinapansin, sigurado ayaw nya lang ma-associate at mapagchismisan.
Yung bestfriend ko nagwowork sa Sydney, galit na galit sa mga Pinoy dun. Nakikita niya sila tuwing nagsisimba nalang pero pinagchichismisan pa sya. Mahilig kasi sa Louis Vuitton Prada and Chanel ang bestfriend ko and medyo exotic ang itsura, so alam niyo na kung ano ang chismis. Pero sa totoo, tatlo ang trabaho nya at maswerte nang makatulog sya ng apat na oras sa isang araw.
Kaya parang awa nyo na, padala nyo na sa balikbayan box pauwi ng Pinas ang mga chakang ugali.

I’ve worked overseas, and yung company naming meron ding branch sa Pinas, and everytime na may bisita kaming Pinoy na galing sa Phil Branch, alam na… Ang ingay, kapag may ka-telecon akala mo yung buong office floor yung meeting room nya… umalingawngaw ang boses… makikita mo yung mga locals, napapatayo sa desk nila, hinahanap kung saan nanggagaling yung malakas na boses.
Tapos kapag nasa pantry ganun din, sobrang ingay ng kwentuhan at tawanan, yung ibang locals makikita mo nakayuko na lang at nakakunot ang noo… hindi nila naiisip na yung ibang tao doon baka gustong mag-rest or mag-unwind sandali away from work, tapos ganun yung daratnan mong ingay… Minsan, niyaya ko yung isang friend ko na local na mag-coffee, sabi sakin later na lang daw kasi noisy daw sa pantry…
Again, hindi naman sinabing magpaka-kimi tayong mga Pilipino or maging boring at hindi masaya, sana lang konting konsiderasyon at “class” kasi nasa pampubliko tayong lugar or corporate environment.. Wala tayo sa palengke.. Bow.

@JCsantos naisip ko din naman yan.. of course alam naman natin lahat yung kultura nating mga Pilipino, masayahin, magiliwin.. naisip ko din na baka nalulungkot, at talaga namang nmmiss lang yung lagi kang may kausap at kasamang kalahi mo.. sa bahay or gatherings, walang problema yan, magparty tayo… pero kapag workplace, or public places especially public transport, konting tone down lang sana, hindi naman kasi lahat ng lugar meeting de avance or comedy bar.

Ang sana maging maingat lang tayong mga Pinoy yung sa public setting like sa workplace or malls or public transport... andami kong napapanood sa youtube na racism encounters sa public transport... although i condemn those racist behaviour, mas mabuting umiwas na lang and not to draw attention to ourselves..

1. Filipino time -- sana matuto na tayo maging maaga or atleast sumunod sa pinag kasunduang oras.
2. Learn to say 'NO' -- pansin ko karamihan sa mga Pinoy, mahirap mag decline lalo na sa work or sa overtime. Kapag ayaw or hindi natin kayang gawin, imbes na isagot natin is 'NO' ang kadalasan reply natin is 'i will try' , 'let's see' , 'i will do my best'
3. Kids party are for kids (this may not be unpleasant but good to mention na rin) --
guilty ako dito. Pag invited ang kiddos sa mga birthday parties, usually parents will drop off and pick up their kids at agreed time. Some stays but rarely . And dont bring +1 unless you have informed the host. Actually dont even ask if you can bring +1.

share ko lang andito ako SG sumakay ako nang bus naalala ko magbabagong taon din yun last year
nagremit ako nang pera noon sa orchard at may dalawang pinay na DH ako nakasabay from orchard down to Toa payoh, naiintindihan ko na holiday mood at right nang lahat nang tao maging masaya at in festive mood.
one thing lang naging concerned ako sa bus, magkatabi na sila pasigaw pa magusap kulang nalang ipaalam nila sa lahat na naguusap kami HELLO.
may isang local sa kabilang side nila nakiusap na paki tone down yung boses please take note nakiusap at may please.
sabi nang isang babae inaaway yung lokal "singlish" sino ka para pagsabihan kami na hinaan boses namen? sabi nang lokal maging considerate naman kayo hindi lang kayo tao dito.
pinay 2: kung naiingayan ka pwede wag ka magpublic bus bumili ka kotse mo o magtaxi ka.
lokal: pinapakiusapan ko kayo bakit ganyan ugali ninyo? dayo lang kayo dito magsilayas kayo sa bansa namin dun kayo sa @#$!inang bansa nyo *cursing in chinese
pinay 1: d kami pinapaalis nang Prime Minister nyo noh 27 years na ako dito (which i dont believe) pag pinalayas na kami saka kami aalis.
gusto ko na sana batukan parehas considering na kaya ko sila daragin pero tumahimik ako at yumuko, one thing i know is nahihiya ako at the same time nagreregret ako kasi wala akong ginawa para ipacify yung situation
another thing:
nakakabadtrip yung ibang Pinoy na pagkatapos mo tulungan pag nakatikim na nang kaunting langit lumalake na ULO sumusobra yabang na feeling mo ikaw na may utang na loob sa kanila.
may kasama kami sa bahay napakabait nung nagsstart palang kasama mister nya, after a few years kala mo sila na may ari nang bahay kinokonsidera lang oras at schedule nila laban sa ibang tao na nakatira sa bahay to think na ultimo pamasahe at renta libre sila nung unang mga buwan nila sa bahay namin hindi na namin siningil.
laba
luto gamit kusina
gamitan nang gamit sa kusina
ultimo simpleng bagay pinupuna kagaya nang sapatos na nakapatong sa stool inuutos pang ibaba ang kapal nang mukha.
sana d ako makaengkwentro nang ganitong mga Pinoy na kaunting langit nakatikim sobrang k*pal sa yabang na.
plot twist magrerenew na kami direkta na sinabi nang isang tao samen lumipat na sila. siya pa galit LOL

i think mga ganitong kaso sobrang complicated pero dapat paps tingnan din natin yung dalawang side or may ultimate na reason sila.
mas iba pa din yung natulungan mo na although hindi namin sinisingil o tinitignan na utang na loob yun pero kahiyaan nalang between both parties na sana respetuhan nalang hindi yung after mo makuha gusto mo mayabang kana maangas kana mataas kana.
in reality pare parehas lang kaming langaw na nakatuntong sa kalabaw atleast dito sa SG
