Signs of Colonial Mentality

The growth of globalization and modernization of the Philippines has transformed its rich culture and traditions into an Americanization. It re-oriented Filipino aspirations towards the American, Korean or some other foreign way of life.

I admit that I'm guilty for having this mentality, maybe because of the great influence of American culture from 1900 even until today in our own land.

Here are the symptoms:

• trying so hard to be maputi (white), with whitening lotion, soap and everything in a kit


• getting a nose lift and a bust lift


• dyeing ones hair to make it blonde


• always saying 'ang sarap parang mansanas!'


• a bowl of plastic apples, grapes and pears on the dining room buffet


• preferring to be an American citizen (based on Hodel survey 1960)


• wanting to have been born in another country (based on UP survey of schoolchildren)


• imitation of all foreign brands except Chinese brands.


• following the dictates of fashion magazines through spring, summer, fall and winter (thank God, the air gets cooler around December)


• hoping that there will be snow in December


• putting an American (or Japanese/Korean) brand name on a local product so that it will sell


• die hard K-Pop or Hollywood fan


• prefer NBA over PBA


• insisting that the maid speak to the baby in English


• speaking in Tagalog with American/British accent (for native Filipinos)


• hoping the US will intervene in ousting a homegrown dictator

These are just common traits of Filipinos with colonial mentality and I can't write it down all here because it will take me thousands of hours to finish.

One thing I noticed with the commercials aired over the national televisions and with the billboards along public sites is that they are promoting insecurities of Filipinos in own land. Examples were the commercials of whitening lotion, whitening soap, whitening pills and whitening facial wash (I'm sure you know this brand), they always portray that being moreno/brown is equivalent to ugliness while whites is beauty and attract guys. I'm hoping that this mentality will soon be faded out in the mind set of Filipinos and to me as well.

Mga Paalalang Pangkaligtasan Pagkatapos ng Baha

MGA PAALALANG PANGKALIGTASAN PAGKATAPOS NG BAHA

Kung sakaling nabaha ang inyong bahay, mag-ingat sa pagbukas ng power switch o main switch breaker, pagsaksak sa outlets at pag-on ng mga appliances.

Kung sakaling nawalan ng kuryente ang inyong tahanan, tingnan kung pati ang inyong mga kapitbahay ay apektado. Kung ang bahay lang ninyo ang walang supply ng kuryente, kaagad na ipasuri ang inyong electrical system sa isang qualified electrician.

Tandaan lamang ang mga sumusunod na paalala para sa inyong kaligtasan:

• Siguraduhing nakababa o nakapatay ang main electrical power switch o circuit breaker ng bahay ninyo.

• Mainam na bunutin sa pagkaka-plug ang lahat ng appliances o anumang gamit na de-kuryente. Patayin ang switch ng mga permanently-plugged appliances. Tanggalin din lahat ng mga bumbilya kung maaari.

• Tanggalin ang putik at dumi na nasa service equipment o main circuit breaker/fuse gamit ang personal protective equipment dahil maaring naibalik na ang kuryente sa lugar ninyo.

• Laging isipin na “live” o ”energized” ang lahat ng linya ng kuryente.

• Bago buksan, siguraduhing tuyo ang lahat ng switches, outlets, electrical wires, sockets, connectors, breakers at iba pang may kinalaman sa daloy ng kuryente. Kahit abutin ng ilang araw ang pagpapatuyo nito, mas mabuti nang maging ligtas.

• Bago isaksak at gamitin ang mga appliances, siguraduhing tuyo at malinis ang mga ito. Dapat ang mga ito’y nasuri ng electrician o service center agent.

• Maging mapanuri at alerto kapag nakataas na ang main switch ng bahay para mapansin agad kung may kakaibang nangyayari.

Tumawag sa Meralco hotline number 16211 o mag-text sa 09209716211 (SMART) o 09175516211 (GLOBE) kung sakaling nabasa o pinasok ng tubig baha ang inyong metro ng kuryente.

-This is a reminder from MERALCO

Why do we Run?

Asics Europe have recently conducted its study for the different reasons why people start to run and keep on running

Running starts with a wish to get fit and lose weight, but turns into a fun and stress-relieving pastime: ‘First the body, then the mind.’

Most of us probably relate to this goal as a reason to start exercising more frequently, but what is it that makes us continue exercising once we reach our weightloss or fitness goals?

According to the researchers of Asics, what really most people keep on running, is the idea of getting or staying fit which ranks the highest on both categories. Weight-loss is the second most important reason to run, for both categories of starting and continuing. On the other hand, stress-relief may not be a very important reason to start running, but some runners choose it as their incentive, it is ranked number three on the list of why people run nowadays. On the whole, however, stress-relief is definitely a highly motivational cause.

The flexibility, simplicity, affordability and accessibility are greatly favoured by most runners as their reasons above other sports.

You can read more about it in Asics' report here and don't forget to leave your success stories in comments below! What do you feel has helped you?

Enjoy as if we were Kids (Star City Summer Adventure)

Sunday afternoon, April 29, 2012, we decided to had our fun trip at Star City. It was indeed a small amusement park in the heart of Metro Manila but the "abot tengang tuwa" (that I can't almost close my jaw) paid it all. This was my first ever star flyer ride. I made 2 consecutive star flyer rides in that day because of total excitement and of never ending shout which almost broke my eardrums.

After our star flyer ride we decided to try this one which I don't know what they call this ride. I hope anybody could tell me what it is.

My cousin attempted to climb to the top in just 60 seconds.

I also tried to climb at this blue inflatable tower. It's almost years that I haven't climb at any tree. I'm almost at the top but the timer sent its signal for the time-out. This is one of my favorites.

The last part of the climb race was the awarding of the price and my cousin won it for he rang the bell in just a given time lapse. Next time, if ever I will be given a chance to, I will surely take this challenge again.

This was the night view at Star City, the crowd started to populate as the night begun to take deeper. Every wight are filled with smiles in their faces as you see the excitement and joy in their experience. So it's very natural for them and for us to document the moment.

Surf Dance was not our last ride but as far as to the photo documentation we had, it was the last picture shot at the rides.

We may don't have the power to take back the time of our childhood years but we still have the chance to enjoy our life as if we are still kids. May we have a great fun-filled season of our life in the next summers.

Thanks to our new friend for giving us tickets for free.
