Pressure

pressure in everything that i do.. peer pressure in the school and pressure at home

one thing in the peer pressure is when you say no to something else you don't want to do

at home pressure simply the things that they expect from you.. even though you hate it so much..

this is what i do.. to forget all this.

- Laugh - at no reason at all
- laughter will directly enhance the quality of life and perhaps the will to live
- laughter is nature's stresbuster
- Lie - you know what I'm talking about
- sit back and watch funny movies!!! the best

Flip Crab Mentality

If there is one good thing that Filipinos are known for, its their high regard for strong family ties, even to the point of being clannish. Anywhere the world over, when a Filipino finds a fellow countryman, the connection will certainly not stop at finding another Pinoy in a foreign land but roots (that intertwine) will be traced back to one’s native birth place or to some grandparent of a fourth degree (and twice removed) relation.
Such strength is the Pinoys sense of family that even colleagues at work are treated like one: though at times poses a disadvantage when one is not able to delineate the professional relationship from the personal one.
If such is the Pinoy’s reverence to the concept of family: we should be helping each other out, the strong should be empowering the weak, and those at the top should lift up the down and the lowly; towards the achievement of a common goal.

Filipinos, crab mentality describes a way of thinking best described by the phrase….“if i can’t have it, neither can you”. It’s a metaphor referring to crabs in a bucket in which, one of them struggles to get to the top but instead is being pulled down by other crabs that are also trying to get to the top.
Now, some may think crab mentality is normal as it implies healthy competition between people. Which is in fact, completely normal. But in more ways than one, it is more destructive than normal, especially if you unintentionally outdo another at the other’s expense. A sad reality it is, as it shows lack of unity among us Pinoys.

I have seen several comments from Pinoys over at YouTube flaming each other because of some lame topic that they don’t agree upon. And it doesn’t stop there. When you check out MySpace, you can see some Pinoys in Filipino discussion groups hating on each other back and forth over small and senseless crap. It makes me sad to know that we Pinoys can’t unite..
