Minsan ko na tinanong ang man op may layp kong si Kups, bakit sa tinagal-tagal nya dun sa Landon (UK), halos dalawang dekada na yata, eh mas choose pa rin ng lolo nyo ang Pinay para maging pakner.

Siempre, kumbaga sa pagkain, aminado sa akin si Kups na nakatikim na rin sya ng ibang putahe sa ibang bansa. Kaso may kasabihan nga tayo na iba pa rin talaga ang pagkain na lutong-bahay o sariling-atin, kaya mas hinahanap-hanap pa rin ng panlasa nya… ng dila nya (pun intended) ang – Pinay.  :p

Hmmn…siguro nga may something about Pinay kahit sa halimuyak pa lang – siguro nga mas yummylicious! Lol! Dagdag pa ni Kups, iba pa rin talaga ang Pinay!

Bilang Pinay, siempre mula hair split-ends hanggang ingrown ng toenails ko – proud aketch!

Heto, dagdagan pa natin galing sa mga kabaro ko ang churva kung bakit labs nila ang pagiging nay-pi nila. Nakulimbat ko ‘to sa Cosmopolitan (May 2002) magazine.

oOo

Sabi ko na nga ba! Nabasa ko yan kanina sa Yahoo Philippines. Aktwali matagal ko ng alam na mas matatalino talaga kami mga gerls kesa mga boys. Hehe!

C’mon, pagbigyan nyo na ako – it’s women’s month!

Tsaka ang komontra – mamamatay!

Hindi nga lang ako masyadong natuwa dahil according to statistic…

• “Filipino women have a projected life expectancy of 71.6 years, higher than Filipino men’s 66.1 years…” 

- Ibig sabihin ba mas mahaba ang tsansa namin na mag durusa habang nabubuhay? Oh noes!

• “Although males had higher labor force participation rate at 78.9 percent against females’ 48.6 percent, the average annual income of household headed by a man was only at P167,013 against those headed by a woman at P197, 629.“

– Hala! pwede ko na rin bang sabihin na mas magaling talaga ang kababaihan na mamuno sa buhay? No wonder, mas madalas kaming tawagin na “kumander” at ang lalaki naman ay “manedyer” lang. Ops! mas mataas ba ranggo ng kumander sa manager? O mas nakakasindak lang ang mga kumander? Lol.

• “The elective positions in the Philippines remain men’s territory as they occupy 76.8 percent of these posts, against 23.2 percent occupied by women…”

– kaya naman pala mas rampant ang graft and corruption sa bansa natin. Tsk! Haler! Oo nga, babae nga siguro ang kasalukuyang presidente, pero mas madalas o karamihan naman na involve sa pagiging kurap ay ang mga men. Sampol ko dito si FG.   Kung anong sipag ng misis nya mag trabaho…sipag din nya mangurakot.

Hmmmn… kung bumaliktad  kaya ang figures, may tsans kaya na mas maging maayos ang gobyerno ng Pinas?

• “…33.2 percent of Filipino males would approve of a woman having an abortion against four percent of females.” 

– Hmp! Mga walang puso at konsensya! Pagkatapos makipaghubaran, makipaglaplapan, makipagbaliktaran at magpakasarap, mas hayagan pa silang aprub daw sa abortion. Hmp ulit!

• “…more Filipino women would support a bill to legalize divorce in the Philippines with 40.2 percent against 8.4 percent of men.”

– kaya pala mas marami sa amin ang mas pabor na sumuporta sa bill na ‘to. Hehe! Palaban na talaga ang mga pinay. Go Pinay!

Oist! Bato-bato sa langit ang tamaan ay pangit! Peace tayo mga bro! Mwah!

Quote of the Day:

“I am my own woman.”

Evita Perón

Paki-dagdag na lang dito ang iba pang kaseksihan na nakikita nyo sa isang Pinay. Suportahan ang Pangkalahatang Unyon ng mga Kababaihang Iniidolo! Haha!

Aktwali, di lang ‘to kontes-kontesan… campaign for a cause na rin to. Layunin ng project na ‘to ang mawala o mabawasan man lang ang exploitation sa mga kabaro nating pinay hindi lang dito sa Pilipinas natin kundi sa buong mundo na rin. Paki-note nga pala na pwedeng sumali ang mga lalaki dito.

O’ di ba, kahit papano mga ineng, makapag contribute man lang tayo sa pagpapakilala sa buong mundo kung ano talaga ang tunay na PINAY. Try mo search ang word na “filipina” sa google. Mapapansin mo na ang resulta ay para bang ang filipina ay pang penpal service lang, pang mail-order-bride, o kaya pang online dating lang. Josko! Hindi naman sa minamasama ko ang mga ganun pero hindi hamak na kaya pa natin i-angat ang salitang filipina. Agree o disagree? (disagree? Leche ka! bwahaha)

So, paunlakan nyo imbistasyon ko mga ka-blag ko. Koling! koling!:

Jo-join ako. Sasali ako hindi dahil sa may dolyares na pa-premyo kundi sa pamamagitan man lang ng pagbo-blog ay may mai-share ako kahit konti kung ano ang iba pang katangian ng tunay na filipina. Oo na, aminado akong magaganda ang PINAY, pero tse! sino may sabing pang-kusina lang ang filipina o pang kama?

Thanks to Kengkay for sharing/inviting me to join in this project. Mahal na kita, keng!
