Home and how much I want to go back!! oh and whoever said Spanish wannabe's, well the Philippines started out with the spanish. Learn a bit more about history. I really hate how everyone says we're Spanish wannabes.
oh and also these come to my mind: beaches, rice, all the food i rarely/never get to have here (puto, suman, buko pandan!!! all that stuff but dont include things like adobo, tinola,and those.)
That depends from where you're coming from. (US, Europe, etc)
A few of my American friends immediately think of Imelda's thousand shoes, when the word Philippines pops up in a conversation. It's either that or Banana leaves, Nipa Huts and carabaos.
I on the other hand, think of Boy Bawang, Butong Pakwan, Manny Pacquiao and Lechon with Mang Tomas. (Not necessarily in that order)
When I hear Philippines? Hmmm, well, on the good side, this is what comes to my head: San Miguel beer, exotic yet bland food, beautiful Filipina girls and amazing beaches
However, on the bad side, this is what comes to my head: Spanish wannabees, white washed Filipinos, crab mentality and poverty.
