I always say this, I love Top Ten! Why? Coz these are very specific, very constructive-in a good way and concise.
Now, since I’m Proud to be Pinoy, I will give you the Top Ten Best Things of Being a Pinoy.
#10. OPM – I love OPM. Nothing beats the golden days of Filipino Music. There are countless revivals and we still love ‘em. Who will forget, “Bakit ba Ganyan?”, “Sanay’s Wala Nang Wakas”, “Paalam Na” and many more. They are the true songs of the Pinoys’ Heart
#9 Street Foods – Samalamig, Isaw, Adidas, Helmet, Dugo, One-Day Old and famous Balot. Although some countries, like China for example has a different delicacies which are enormously semi-edible, I think. But, I bow my head with the Pinoy-style street food. Cheap. Appetizing. Yummy.
#8 Karaoke/Videoke – Filipinos are born to be singers. If not, we’ll still try so hard to be one. Who in their homes don’t have a Magic Sing, or a simple CD player with Lyrics on it. Our creativity is manifested on how we sing lyrically whenever we are. The frustration has been outgrown since childhood, joining every Glee Club, Choir Group or Singing Contest. I remember those days.
#7 San Miguel Beer – to add with this is the Gin Bilog. I missed these drinks. Gin-Pomelo, Gin-Pineapple or other flavours will do.
#6 Dirty Ice-Cream – They are not really dirty. They are just available on the street and they are a lot creamier, sweeter and affordable. This is like the Ben and Jerry, an economical way.
#5 Extended Family – We, I believe, has the longest generation, staying on one roof. Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Titos, Titas, Grandparents, Grandchildren, Godparents and Godchildren are staying in one house. The more the merrier.
#4 People Power – in any catastrophes and misfortunes, these are the times when all Filipinos come together and become one nation. Through people power, we ousted a so-called leader, we surpassed all the calamities, and we challenged all nations that nothing will conquer us no matter what. Everytime I see documentaries about this, I always cry.
#3 Laughter – We love to laugh at ourselves. We love to laugh in times of difficulties. We sometimes are the big laugh. Nonetheless, at least we can still afford to laugh.
#2 Bayanihan – Whenever you are, whoever you’ll be with if you’re a Filipino, and you see a fellow Pinoy, you’ll be friends since then. You count on him or her no matter what. This is tried and tested. Not always but most of the time.
#1 Christmas – This is the most special occasion we have. I cannot afford to celebrate Christmas elsewhere. I have to go back to Pinas. I don’t want to miss, the Carolings, Parol, Big Christmas Tree, Ninong and Ninang, and of course, my Family.
