Yung sarat na ilong talaga yung naging basehan eh noh? Hahaha! Maraming ganyan, lalo na kapag naging citizen na. Kung makadeny na Pinoy sila wagas.
@Admin naging PR nung 2007 yung kilala ko. Di ko din alam anong pinagyayabang. Buti nga lately, medyo nabawasan na. haha! Natatakot na din umasta-asta mga Pinoy dito sa SG kasi nga anytime, pwede tayong awayin ng local, isumbong and baka mapatalsik dito, mawalan pa ng trabaho.

@LittleFinger uso rin sa mga pana ang hilahan pababa lalo na sa trabaho. Actually mas napapansin ko to sa kanila. Or baka swerte lang ako dahil wala pa akong nakikilalang mayabang na pinoy dito sa SG.

Nung unang salta ko dito, pakiramdam ko super matulungin at welcoming mga Filipino communities. Kung saan saang religious activities at parties ako iniintroduce. Pagkatagalan na-realize ko na madami sa kanila nagpa plastikan lang sa isa't isa, nag-aawayan, nagki-criticize, nag-iinggitan, naghihilahan pababa, nagti-tsismisan etc etc. lalo na mga babaeng Pinay andaming drama sa buhay. Sa dami ng naka-mingle ko dito na mga kalahi natin, masasabi ko na common occurence talaga yung mga nabanggit ko.
Ngayon mas tahimik na buhay ko at masaya dahil kasama ko na din yung asawa ko from Pinas. Hindi ko naman iniignore mga Pinoy totally, nakikipag-usap pa din naman ako, naghi-hello, pero piling pili lang talaga yung kinu-close ko and I don't attend random social Pinoy gatherings. I only go to events with my Pinoy friends or mga kakilala din lang nila.
I still believe na madami pa din matitinong Pinoy. It just happens na majority ng nami-meet ko madaming issues. For some reason, mas nagiging ka vibes ko yung mga nagsimula as international students dito, o kaya yung mga nag-migrate as skilled.
