The Changing Tides

When I'm bored to death, nothing to do because it's Sunday! Actually Sunday is a not so busy day. The breadwinner is at home and when he's at home  RL reads his favourite book and when he's finished re-reading his old books he buys a new one. I was surprised when he bought a book entitled PREDATOR. Why I asked myself. He watched that movie "Predator" so many times. I watched that old movie of Arnold Schwarzenneger so many times and I lost count of how many times my daughter watched that movie. Whatever! He was actually there at the bookstore to purchase the new Wilbur Smith's book entitled PHARAOH. No stock of that book so he bought that Predator novel (book penned by Wilbur Smith?) instead. While me had to google on what's the best blog in the internet. Who is the best blog in the internet. I looked around and search for a Filipino blog. I can't find a blog that suits my taste for the blog that I'm looking for. Then there's that blog that indicates a blogger from Philippines. I looked at it and read her blog and to my dismay she's a Korean girl doing her travelogue and promoting countries from different parts of the world. She's Korean not Pinay. There's that woman who I google or visit once in a while whose lifestyle is similar to a Filipina's way of life married to an American but she is a Korean. Weird eh? Also a Japanese woman married to a Japanese man who live in Hawaii whose lifestyle and or way of life is similar to conservative traditional Filipino families but they are Japanese. Any traditional Filipino bloggers out there?

The old traditional, conservative customary way of life similar to old traditional Filipino way of life are either Koreans and Japanese! Aba! Kung sino pa yung mga Koreans and Japanese sila pa yung mga mahihinhin at conservative. Kataka-taka. Pero siguro hindi naman lahat. Dito sa Canada kung sino pa yung mga "Puti" sila pa ang mahinhin kumilos. Yung mga "Non-Whites" ang mga ubod maarte. Kaya siguro gusto nung "iba" dyan magkaroon ng mga Syrians dito sa Canada. . When you have them around you'll end up "covered" with lots of clothing around your body. Ha ha! You'll be covered with clothes if there is SNOW! Their point is you really can't wear too much clothing in Philippines because it's HOT! The climate in Philippines is hot, hot, hot!!!!!!! If 15 degrees celsius is already warm what a 40 to 50 degrees celsius temperature would be at your own opinion? Volcanic?





Canada cannot be turned into desertland. Wizardry is used so many times from ancient myth and used and tried by Hollywood but truth is snowyland is better than desertland.



The new generation Filipinos are swayed differently away from the norm of the customary traditional Filipino way of life. Too many outside influence. It has something to do na rin sa mga napapanood nila or whom they admire or idolize on TV and movies. If those kids and teens idolized bomba stars then they end up just like them. However, if they idolized action stars or dramatic actress you'll know how dramatic they are also in dealing with their peers. Look at those "Mean Girls." Who you idolize from those girls? Regina George? Katy the Mathematician?

Let say you idolize Princess Kate and I know millions of girls admire her for her demure and sophisticated life and glamourized sense of fashion that so many of them would rather be in her shoes, in her fashionable clothes. Her clothing and accessories are costly that her admirers will buy anything that resembles what she wears even if they are expensive or less pricey but almost the same type of clothing. Other teens admire the Kardashians and they exercise almost everyday to get to the "size" of being sexy sometimes not eating for days, unfortunately some of them end up bulimic or have  problems with drugs that can make them thin or slim fast. Unhealthy! Not good! Just be yourself! Idolize yourself. There is nothing like you. Look at the mirror and admire yourself and be kind to yourself.
