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 Island Living Hot or Not Filipino English Country of Extremes Religion Transportation Organized Chaos Currency The Culture Pasalubong Game On Holidays and Fiestas Christmas Hospitality Superstition Pouty Point Language Nuances Balikbayan Box Smile, you’re on camera Eyebrows Up Teasing Talk of the Town Will you Marry Me Small Talk Hello, Eat Romantics at Heart Bro-mance Karaoke Laugh Out Loud Rich and Famous Price of Fame Whitening Stuff Birthday Treat Conservative PDA Bless Loud Voice Confrontation Filipino Time Filipino Food Gratitude to Parents Bayanihan PamamanhikanThe Girl Soap Opera He said, She said Single Living with Parents Yaya Some Things to Consider Real Filipina Street Food Bottled Water Plug-in Ready
