***The Official Filipino thread***

Revisited............



Did anyone check out 'track 12' from the Back Eyed Peas new album, 'Monkey Business'?

I was quite shocked myself.
 
excellent!

here's the lyrics to 'Bebot'


[Will]

Ha! Ho! Ha!

[Apl]

bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ay... pilipino (4x)

Verse 1:

Hoy pare pakinggan niyo ako
Ito na ang tunay na Filipino
Galing sa Barriong "Sapang Bato"
Nagpunta ng L.A. para magtrabaho
Para makatulong sa Nanay
Dahil sa hirap ng buhay
Pero masaya pa rin ang kulay
Pag kumain nagkakamay
Iyung kanin at "Chicken Adobo"
Iyung balut binebenta sa kanto
Tagay mo na nga ang baso
Pare ko inuman na tayo

[Will]

Filipino (4x)

[Apl]

bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ay... pilipino (4x)

Verse 2:

Masdan mo ang magagandang dalaga
Nakakagigil ang beauty mo talaga
Lambing di nakakasawa
Ikaw lang ang gustong makasama
Iyung bahay o kubo
Pag-ibig mo ay totoo [Will: Ha!]
Puso ko'y laging kumikibo [Will: Ho!]
Wala kang katulad sa mundo
Pinay ka sigaw na sige [Will: Ha!]
Kung maganda ka sigaw na, sige [Will: Ho!]
Kung buhay mo ay mahalaga, sige [Will: Ha!]
Salamat sa iyong suporta [Will: Ho!]

Filipino (8x)
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ang aking
bebot bebot bebot be (3x) ikaw ay... pilipino (4x)

Pinay ka sigaw na sige [Will: Ha!]
Kung maganda ka sigaw na, sige [Will: Ho!]
Kung buhay mo ay mahalaga, sige [Will: Ha!]
Salamat sa iyong suporta [Will: Ho!]

Filipino (repeated several times...until fade)

who know's what i'm talking about??

got a cousin Jubee
 
My ex was full filipino and his mom was auntie baby to everyone , and his uncle was uncle boyet..his nickname was jingjing, and everyone in his family had nicknames that I dont remember how to say. His mom and dad were both full and they came over back in the 60's so his dad could start his medical pratice. Very good people, and after being together for over 3 years , I miss being around them now :(
 
the apl song was on elefunk...i actually have the music video on myspace...funny though, the guy from "the debut" is on it too...hes everywhere!
 
Time to revisit this thread. I just came back from Manila 2 weeks ago. Man I do not miss the humid/hot weather. Of course being the end of their summer..it was still 30C most of the time. Never dipped below 25C at night and I think it must've hit 40+ a few days. It was disgustingly humid as well. I had to take at least 3 cold showers a day to cool me off. LOL. I had a good time though. Ate a lot of lechon paksiw, dinuguaan, more lechon, jollibee's, duck misua, etc etc...

So much has changed. Everywhere you go, there's a new mall, and new restaurants. Went to Makati (Greenbelt 1-3). Checked out a few bars/clubs. Went to Greenhills, bought a few pairs of knockoff shoes at a knockoff price. I think that's all anyone can do in the city is eat, shop, sleep and shop some more.

Anybody been to Boracay Island? That place is da bomb!! It's off the hook! I loved it there.
 
Here are a few pics I took on my holiday.

Haven't read the thread yet but... when I lived in Japan one of my best friends was British, half Filipino.

And I spent a week in the Philippines on vacation. Against what the car rental company told us, a friend and I drove a Toyota Corolla from Manilla up to the Filipino Alps (forget their names) we started at Bac Ha and Sapa and went towards Banaue (maybe I'm getting those backwards). Awesome trip, ragged the s*** out of that car.

what part of japan did you live in? our family was stationed in yokosuka


Ibaraki-ken, about an hour north of Tokyo. Nice location, sort of quiet and in the country but I could hit Toyko every other weekend easily. Love me some Tokyo. Where's Yokosuka?

Taught English for a year there. Should have made it two.
Here's the car my board of education gave me to drive.
