100% PINOY: Strong Family Ties, Bad or Good?

dzeiel091383 @dzeiel091383 (49) • Philippines 23 Jul 09

100% HUMAN: Listen to What I am Not Saying

dzeiel091383 @dzeiel091383 (49) • Philippines 23 Jul 09

"Don't be fooled by me. Don't be fooled by the face I wear, for I wear a mask. I wear a thousand masks. Masks that I'm afraid to take off. And none of them are me." This is just a part of a very beautiful essay I have read a...

100% HUMAN: Upon loosing it...

dzeiel091383 @dzeiel091383 (49) • Philippines 18 Jul 09

Most of the time, I tend to keep my emotions inside. I seldom get angry or mad because I am "avoiding" that emotion. Why? It's because it scares me when I get mad. It's like all of those negative ideas (even crazy ones) keep on...

100% PINOY: Divisoria o Ukay-Ukay?

dzeiel091383 @dzeiel091383 (49) • Philippines 15 Jul 09

It's natural for a Filipino to be thrifty especially nowadays that the economy is going down and the price of everything is going up, up,up! Therefore, it's also not hard to think why places like Divisoria and Ukay-Ukay stalls...

100% PINOY: Patis o toyo?

dzeiel091383 @dzeiel091383 (49) • Philippines 15 Jul 09

I personally like to use patis (fish sauce) with kalamansi as "sawsawan" most of the time. But when it comes to eating tuyo (yum!) I think toyo (soysauce) with kamatis (tomato) is the best. How about you?

100% PINOY: Tabo o tissue?

dzeiel091383 @dzeiel091383 (49) • Philippines 15 Jul 09

If you are a Filipino (Pinoy), you would know exactly what I am talking about. Over the years, Filipinos use "tabo" when they go to the bathroom to clean "you-know-what" after doing number one and/or number two. Yet over the...
