Do you know anything about the Philippines ? The Philippines is in Southeast Asia, an archipelago of 7, 641 islands , with a population of more than 110 million, 12 th largest in the world.

In the US, the only Asians they recognize are East Asians ( Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, Taiwanese ) or people that look like them.

Do you know that Indians, Pakistanis, SriLankans, Nepalese , Bangladeshis, and Maldives are Asians, too ? They are Southern Asians. How about Kazakhstan, Aszerbaizan, Georgia, Turkemenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan ? They are Central and Western Asians. And like the Philippines , Indonesia, Thailand, Brunei, Laos, Vietnam, Singapore, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore are Southeast Asians. You may include the Pacific Islanders . The Philippines is sometimes recognized as Pacific Islanders. And that is right… Filipinos and Pacific Islanders have the same DNA. The Philippines’ race is Malay-Indo- Polynesian.

So, what the heck is this Asian hate ? Get your hate straightened out. Get a grip.

Who is SB19 ?

I’ve been checking out Philippine music scene on YouTube for quite a while now . SB19 is a young Filipino boyband that is super duper popular in the Philippines. It’s a pity that just as they were starting out, ( 2020 was fully booked ) the pandemic happened. So , now they make do with uploading music videos, hoping people get to watch them on YOUTUBE , without skipping the ads. That is where they get their income . My friend and I see to it we watch their videos , at least once a day to support them. They are very talented…. they write and compose their own songs, and do the choreography themselves.

Go, SB19 ! ! Stell Ajero is my bias. He’s the one on the left, and is their main singer. Then , next to Stell is Pablo Nase ( composer/writer,) Justin de Dios, ( creative director) , Ken Suson, Josh Santos.

So, guys, check out Filipino music. Be curious and watch something different. And most importantly, be entertained.

The Philippines is the center of calamities and disasters….. earthquakes, off the chart typhoons, volcanic eruptions. The Filipinos have long accepted it as their Fate. Hence, the “Bahala na ” attitude….. which roughly means, what will be , will be… then , they shrug it off, and move on. ( Or smile it off )

It this happened in the US, FEMA ( Federal Emergency Management Agency ) would be all over the place and evacuating the people. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, people would be enjoying candle-lit dinners. They get typhoons at least 20 x over 6 month typhoon season , which is from June to November. Filipinos be like, “Eh.”

The title of the video says it all. Bagyo ka lang, Filipino kami. ( You’re just a typhoon, but we’re Filipinos. )

I’m sorry the original uploader has taken out the video. from YouTube. Don’t know why. It has millions and millions of views, already. Please make do with the original’s video reaction from 2 eye candy, cute Japanese guys. Ah, the dimples. ~( ^__^ ~) (~^__^)~ Recommended; Watch on FULL SCREEN !

So anti-climactic .

No reactions ?? Aren’t we supposed to feel something unpleasant after the second dose ? Is that a good thing or what ?

We got Pfizer vaccine.

Anyway,

Yay ! We’re done ! We’re still going to wear a mask, though. At work, wearing mask is mandatory. We’re not totally immune yet, you know. There are now 4 variants of the virus ,lurking, ready to strike, and they are deadlier and more dangerous than the original, especially the one from Brazil.

Stay safe.
