I live so far away from most of my Filipino friends so I don’t really have anyone to share my Filipino quirkiness with. Lately though, my daughters have been getting more interested in their heritage and are slowly delving into all things Pinoy.

Jade, for instance, has been into watching YouTube videos from other FilAms like Happy Slip and her comrades. I think Jade is finally picking up on some of the typically quirky Pinoy sense of humor. She is the one who shared this video with me on how to make Filipino Spaghetti. It’s not as much as the recipe that’s funny, (it’s actually pretty good – try it) it’s the delivery.

p.s. you gotta wonder…. it’s gotta be only in the Philippines that you can find a humongous bottle of banana sauce like that!

Fake! No movie yet, but it’s a good premise as this video found on Connect with your Teens blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if the real movie version will come out soon. I hope it’s as funny as this fake trailer.

This is from a forwarded email, just thought I’d share it with you:

Ten Thoughts to Ponder for 2008

Number 10
Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 9
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 8
Men have two emotions:
Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich .

Number 7
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day,
teach a person to use the internet
and they won’t bother you for weeks.

Number 6
Some people are like a Slinky ….
Not really good for anything, but you still can’t help but smile
when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday,
lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

Number 4
All of us could take a lesson from the weather.
It pays no attention to Criticism.

Number 3
Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00
and a substantial tax cut saves you $30.00?

Number 2
In the 60′s, people took acid to make the world weird.
Now the world is Weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

And The Number 1 Thought For 2008 :
We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located among millions and
millions of cows in America but we haven’t got a clue as to where millions of
illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the
Department of Agriculture in charge of Immigration?

This was a forwarded email, but it was so funny I thought I would share it here.
