Pinoys in the USA
Big TV, originally uploaded by alvinctanicala.
There are many anecdotes about pinoys that are amusing or at times painfully true but hold special realizations. In my first week here in Bakersfield, California I have heard how pinoys are faring. Here are two :
- Did you know that most Filipinos here have poor eye sight? Because all their TVs are wide screens!
- Did you know that the fog blanketing Daly City, California is said to be attributed to Filipinos? Because they use their rice cookers all at the same time, the steam from the cookers cover much of the city!
But generally, Filipinos here in Bakersfield are cool- makes one proud to be a pinoy!
Actually the fog/daly city joke was attributed to Asians but since most Asians in Daly are Pinoys kaya ayun...sinarili na naten :-)
ReplyDeleteAccording to a fellow pinoy the Asian population in Daly City is 1:4 - a pinoy for every four asian. Atin na nga. hehehe.
