(though some don't want to acknowledge that they are Pinoys for some reason...well, I'll save that topic for another post...) but for now...
Here are some things Pinoy that captures this Pinay Heart of mine--
- I go to the hospital for medical appointments, there goes Pinoy doctors and nurses...
- Mom's cooking--we go to the market, there's plenty of Pinoy groceries to choose from...
- Craving Tuyosilog, Dangsilog, Bangsilog--there's plenty of neighborhood Pinoy Turo-Turos...
- I go to the salon, there goes Pinoy stylists...
- I go to church--there goes Pinoy Priests, Deacons, Ushers, Parishioners (talking in our native tongue) and Choirs that sing Tagalog worship songs...
And the list doesn't stop there...
When on the road, the Pinoy owned cars with Pinoy themed License Plates also captures my attention...
Here's a couple of them that I was able to take a photo of:
- Not to gross you out again, but remember my post regarding UTOT, the first one is a re-post of that photo:
For the non-Pinoys who might stumble on this post, "UTOT" is "FART" in English...hehe!
- This second one is of JEJEMON's ride...as in JejeCar! hehe!
For some who may not know what JeJemon is, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
Jejemon (Tagalog pronunciation: [ˈdʒɛdʒɛmon]) is a pop culture phenomenon in the Philippines. According to the Urban Dictionary a Jejemon is a person "who has managed to subvert the English language to the point of incomprehensibility."[1] The Philippine Daily Inquirer describes Jejemons as a "new breed of hipster who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own sub-culture and fashion.
Well, that's it for now folks, for I'm a bit JeJeTired already. In closing, I will just say in my Pinoy way of goodbye: "Sige na po, hanggang dito na lang at paalam na...baybayou!" .ƪ(•˘⌣˘)┐LOL!

nice to know that despite being out of your own country, you still get to see our kababakyans there. oh jejemon! lol
haha! ang cool nungg Jejemon, Ate Becca! Maswerte ang mga Pinoy dyan sa area ninyo, hindi kayo gaano maho-homesick. May favorite aunt lives in Union City. Lapit lang siguro yan dyan. Kung malapit lang, good for her, para di siya malulungkot at di niya masyadong mami-miss ang Pinas.
Kumusta, Ate? Sorry ngayon lang ako nakadaan dito. Medyo nag-ikot ako sa probinsya ko eh and tried to take some pictures of some potential tourist attractions. The one I've just posted at my blog, I'm sure super magugustuhan mo :)
It's so great to know how a person like you who grow up in States still retain the values and good things about Pinoy.
Amazing post!
yup, I see both all over--
kababayans and JeJemon kababayans...hehe!

Uy, nag-punta ka probinsya...sarap naman, how I wish magawa ko din minsan ganyan to be away from the noisiness of city life. Sige, I'll check out your photos. :)
