Hmmm...I know I'm elaborating a taboo topic just now, but since I get to wonder how anyone would describe Filipinos from their own point of views, I do wish to know...What do you think of Filipinos  ? I mean, most says we're excessively westernized (In which In my opinion is true...but of course, I am not one of them because I hate everything about them) and practically we're very much pretentious...and then some chinese says we're improvident...*sigh* well, I don't know...So what do you guys think?

Do you REALLY want to know? Some things are just plain stereotypic... I don't know much about Filipinos or their country. But many times when I watch HK movies (the older ones, I mean), Filipinas are always portrayed as housemaids. So basically that's what I think about when people mention "Filipinos" to me = servants, housemaids, etc...
As for their attitude, I really can't say. I only have one Filipino friend. But actually he's only lived in the Philipines for one year and his family has been moving around because of their business. So he's lived in Brunei and Malaysia and has attended international schools. I guess I'd say he's pretty westernized because of that. But he's not pretentious or anything. He's cool.

Urghh..thanks vunsid...well...as you can see, Filipinos portrays those roles mainly because they need the job (and yah...they're so much into entertainment...they'd do anything to get themselves in television...  ) ...and yah, they're very diligent when it comes to house works...hehe...we're not exactly that poor yah know... :) ...anyway, let me tell you something about us...we're friendly...regardless of what, who, where, and whatever w's you came from...most of us restrain ourselves from offending someone in case we get offended...And also, we're a bunch of happy o'duffers...so you'll never get bored when with us...and then, what else? Yah...we love friends and meeting other people...
Anyway, thanks Polaris...yah...Filipinos are VERY religious...I'm in a Catholic school needless to say...and then we have religious daily routines...we pray at an average of 12 times a day (at school, every morning, and such...so many ) And yes, like I've told Vunsin, we're friendly...but not exactly nice ...urgh...just joking...

Evenstar, I'm glad you're not offended.  Like I've said, I really don't know much about Filipinos. Oh! I almost forgot about this! My family had a fashion business when I was younger, and we hired all Filipinas to work there because they accepted lower wages to do the same work. Now that I think about it I feel bad, especially because when I was young, I was really terrible to them.

Filipinos = maids. That stereotype is ineveitable. It used to bother me so much but now, I have actually learned to become proud of it. Our fellowmen who have domestic helpers do help our country in many ways. Besides they earn the money in a "clean" way and get to help the core of almost every country, which is the family.
I still have so much to say about this but let's just leave it at that.
I love my countrymen, if only more of us would love our country more and try to help it survive the third world territory.
And oh, let's not start with Philippine Politics..makes my head ache!

Hehe...I'm not, Vunsid, don't worry...besides, Filipinos do know how to endure pain...and they do know how te get back at their masters (hehe...I'm only joking) well, in that case, you should know that Filipinos are not that bad...and even if they are, you can't really blame them...

Let's put it this way, taking job as a maid sure did earn quite a lot of income for the Filipinos to support there poor family. I think it's quite an important job to most of the women there.
Oh ya,..and..do you eat this egg called 'Belot'?
I think...it's pretty...horrible..  Sorry about that. No offence..

Hehe...thanks...yah, but the egg is not called "belot"...it's balot...anyway, they say that food's great and I think so too, but I never get to eat the whole because it has the fetus of a duckling (eeewww...hehe... )
