when i've encountered this question in one of the surveys i answer in friendster bulletin boards, it really made me laugh, 'coz i remember how irritated i get whe somebody asks me this question: "HOW COME YOU HAVE AN INDIAN NAME?" it all started here in bahrain, when some locals ask me this question everytime they find out what my name is. the first time i as really surprised, because i know that my name is very common in the philippines, in fact when i was in school i used to have 2 or 3 other classmates with the same name as mine, although it was all spelled differently. so everytime i was asked this question, my response is..."you know, you're the 99th person to ask me this question! my name is very common in my country!" oh well, as they say it here in bahrain, what to do yani??? i can't stop people from asking this question, right?

I get this one a lot. "Holy Crap, How tall are you??". I am 5'10 which I guess is like super tall for a women. I use to be really ashamed of my height as a kid and walked kinda hunkered down so as not to look so tall. Now I do promotional modeling so height is my main asset. Without my height, my paycheck would be coming from something I hate doing. Now I walk tall and am happy for every inch of my height.

oh wow, i like your height! i am 5'8" and i also get these kind of remarks because generally filipinas are not really tall, so everybody is always telling me that i am quite tall for a flilipina. i guess for us, height is our best asset, right? :)
