Book Description
The topics in this book apply to Filipinos in general terms. It is not meant to stereotype Filipinos, and should not be construed in any way as truth for all Filipinos. Everyone is unique, and certainly your Filipina (Pinay) girlfriend's response to a situation would vary depending on where she was raised (city or province/country side) and how she was raised. Hopefully, this book will ease the culture shock you might have in visiting a country that is different from your own, and help you understand your girlfriend's background, and why she acts, talks, and responds the way she does.Some topics include short anecdotes from the authors' personal experiences.50 Things Topics:The Country 1) Island Living 2) Hot or Not 3) Filipino English 4) Country of Extremes 5) Religion 6) Transportation 7) Organized Chaos 8) CurrencyThe Culture 9) Pasalubong10) Game On11) Holidays and Fiestas12) Christmas13) Hospitality14) Superstition15) Pouty Point16) Language Nuances17) Balikbayan Box18) Smile, you're on camera19) Eyebrows Up20) Teasing21) Talk of the Town22) Will you Marry Me23) Small Talk24) Hello, Eat25) Romantics at Heart26) Bro-mance27) Karaoke28) Laugh Out Loud29) Rich and Famous30) Price of Fame31) Whitening Stuff32) Birthday Treat33) Conservative34) PDA35) Bless36) Loud Voice37) Confrontation38) Filipino Time39) Filipino Food40) Gratitude to Parents41) Bayanihan42) PamamanhikanThe Girl43) Soap Opera44) He said, She said45) Single Living with Parents46) YayaSome Things to Consider47) Real Filipina48) Street Food49) Bottled Water50) Plug-in Ready
