What are some pictures of beautiful women?

Following

Allow me to share photos of beautiful Filipino women from our social events in Cebu:

I’m probably a little biased because I am also a Filipina, but I really believe that the Philippines has some of the most beautiful women in the world. It’s why a lot of foreign men visit the country: to meet their life partner in the Philippines.

And it’s not just their physical appearance that makes them beautiful. Filipinas are also kind, loyal, and passionate—qualities that prove their beauty is not only skin-deep.

Why do Filipinos love ‘sawsawan’ or dipping sauce?

 

 · 

Not only Filipinos I guess. I also noticed this about Indonesian and Thai. Also Japanese, SK and Chinese. The only iconic about Filipinos is we love this fish sauce, as dipping sauce, even if it smells like pussy 🫢 but… tasty. (You guys should try it).

Hahah. Joke….partly joke…uhm, no, its a joke…

Seriously speaking, dipping sauce is a massive staple in Asian cuisine, specially among coastal nations. Probably because of the main staple during the old old times, like rice (which is basically bland). A bowl of dipping sauce on the side is meant to enhance and add contrast to the main dish.

For proof, let’s explore some of Asia’s dipping sauce.

Yakiniku sauce, Japan.

This Japanese dipping sauce is a blend of sake, mirin, soy sauce, miso paste, bonito flakes and sugar for the savoury-sweetness, rice vinegar and grated apple for a sour touch, and sesame seeds to complete its aroma.

Ssamjang sauce, South Korea. It looks fiery, this is similar to barbecue sauce.

Chinese Sichuan Chilli Oil.

Nam Prik Ong, Thailand

………….and many, many, many more……..

Now, in regards to the Filipinos, I have a theory that it has something to do with rice, (and fish) which is a staple during the primitive period. The rice is boiled and the fish is broiled. Because plain rice and fresh or broiled fish have very mild and neutral flavors, indigenous Filipinos developed table sauces to enhance, balance, and personalize every bite.

Btw, Philippine dipping sauce go far beyond just fish sauce. Vinegar and calamansi (lime) are also very popular in the whole archipelago. This is mainly because vinegar can be made from sugarcane, seasonal fruits, coconut sap and rice, while lime is also abundant there. Also, soy sauce usually mix with vinegar and/or lime.

Here they are.

How to Be Happy in Life?

1. Remember, everyone has problems. You’re not alone in facing challenges.

2. Life has ups and downs. Only someone who isn’t alive doesn’t have challenges.

3. Every problem has a solution. You can find answers to the difficulties you're facing.

4. How you see yourself matters. Think of yourself as valuable and special. Don’t let low self-esteem bring you down.

5. Don’t worry about what others say. Some people say mean things to make others feel bad.

6. Make friends with kind people who uplift you. Avoid those who tease or make fun of you.

7. When you have free time, enjoy your favorite hobbies like sports, movies, or games.

8. Don’t let anyone scare you with their money or things. A poor person today can be rich tomorrow. Change happens.

9. No matter how tough things get, don’t give up. As long as you are alive, there is still hope.

10. Pray often. Prayer can help bring good things into your life more quickly.

11. Be brave and go after what you want. Life involves taking chances. If you don’t try, you won’t reach your dreams.

Stay true to yourself because nobody can be you better than you. You are wonderful just as you are!

Why is the Filipino culture very loving, huggable, patient, fun, understanding, and warm?


If you ask those non-Filipino people who spend years living in the Philippines, you’ll be surprise why their answers can be a little different. It can be easy for me to say YES, but I wan’t to be realistic as well.

In general, yes, Filipinos are warm, approachable, generous and hospitable. They care more about what others think or say, which influences the social behavior so behaving as such (friendly, warm, being fun) makes others think of us in a positive way, and in turn has positive effect on our self steem or something. This is also why Filipinos in general hate confrontations.

I don’t want to brag, but Filipino have a naturally caring and sympathetic mindset, thus they’re hospitable. I can rate that 8 out of 10. You can noticed this overseas when they reach out to each other to help a Filipino in need. Most of the time its happening.

However, let me remind you that Filipinos are fierce. Criticise them and all hell will break loose. The “very loving, huggable, patient, fun, understanding, and warm demeanour” will quickly morph into a defensive snarling creature. Its something like this, you can’t make a criticism about us Filipinos, but we can about you.

The problem with Filipinos is we’re overprotective. Not of our culture, of our identity, of our resources – but of our pride. We have so much pride, we even made a tagline out of it #PinoyPride. We’ve become overly sensitive, easily offended at the slightest of criticisms that we end up refusing not to better ourselves because we’d rather be right and win an argument, than admit to be wrong and improve.
