So it's only a couple of days since I came back from an epic trip back home to the Philippines. Anything you want to know about the old country, shoot your query my way. I'll do my best to enlighten you.

What's the new craze over there or products that you realized got big when they weren't there before?
Where did you go?

Cause I was like "what is C2"

When it comes to new crazes, (many) Filipinos are crazy about Akon and T-Pain. To think five years ago "black music" didn't have a chance with Juan Dela Cruz. As for products, the iPhone or any cell phone with lots of audio and video applications.



Lemery, Batangas, where my family originated.



Flavored iced tea drink. Think Snapple with fizz.

Did you check out Mall of Asia? If yes, how is it?

Msll of Asia is ugly :S

In RP everyone likes that Kardinal Offishal song "Dangerous" but no one knows that it's a CANADIAN song.

haha yeee.

malls back home are just big... not as aesthetically attractive, except for some ayala malls, that newly renovated robinsons mall and the powerplant mall. but then all mentioned arent big.




hows the infrastructure back home. have you noticed any improvements since your last visit?

Nope.



There's quite a building boom going on despite the perpetual crappy economic state the country's in. For example, my parents' hometown of Lemery, Batangas has seen a flurry of businesses and subdivisions surface since 2006 (the last time I went home prior to my most recent visit). A Max's and a Greenwich in my berg? Nice .

welcome back!

i've read somewhere about this massive touristic place Henry Sy is building in Batangas, did you see it?

Thanks, bud .

To answer you question, can't say that I have. Come to think of it, I don't even know about it.

LOL.

A lot of people here think Kard comes from Jamaica...lol.

Well, how smelly were the streets?

Man, I knew Kard was Canadian all along .

The streets don't smell like a thousand dirty diapers, but the air quality isn't something to fall in love with.

The air quality was worse than Bejing perhaps?

I reckon. Put it this way: has Manila ever been considered for the Olympics?

Nope,

More like Rio and New Orleans are going to get the next 2 summer games.

I always pass by megamall in mandaluyong before i go home,I normally buy snacks there.

How can a slum city like manila be qualified for olympics

Why it was the pearl of the Orient back in the day. If a slum city with a tourist area like New Orleans can make it or a city like Rio where death squads disappear unwanted street children why not Manila?

pinoy ako pinoy tayo...

How are the hot ladies over there?

They're doing alright, I suppose. I have a woman already.

how come she is not with you in USA?

Because it was a good city,the center of trade.

We're not married...yet.
