In celebration of the independence day, I would like to express my love for my country – isa pang banat why I live in the Philippines…
It is still the only place in the world...
...where drinking and smoking at sidewalks is considered a profession
...where chicken feet, chicken blood, intestines and rotten eggs are considered a delicacy
...where everyone thinks working abroad is the only way to escape poverty
...where rain during weddings is also called “blessing”
...where even the poorest of poor has a textmate
...where homos have a book of their own language
...where Friday is treated a “scheduled sick leave day”
...where everybody knows a certain “tita baby” or “kuya jun-jun”
...where a boxer is considered a national hero
...where nobody is wrong nor defeated – just misunderstood or cheated
...where there are pink urinals all over the metro
...where every town/city has its own festival of some sort
...where only a superhero qualifies as a president
...where body has been on tv at least once in their lifetime
...where orange traffic light means “speed it up before the light turns to red”
...where “NO loading & unloading zone” is synonymous to “loading and unloading zone”
...where there are two sets of garbage cans – one for biodegradable and the other for non-biodegradable; both contains the same stuff, mixed rubbish.
...where every event is celebrated with a videoke machine
...where road construction is a never ending task; build it then pound it... repeat...
yep, my country is unique and it totally rocks! rock on Pilipinas, rock on!
