Top 20 Signs of a Pinoy Flick

NB – I read this article in the web written by Ricky Lo.

So how would you know that you are watching a Pinoy movie?

Here are the “Top 20 Signs” according to a reader who didn’t identify him/herself (thanks to you!):

1. Sasayaw ang loveteam sa likod ng puno ng buko kapag nasa beach ang eksena. Alternate na lalabas ang ulo nila from behind the puno.

2. Ang kontrabidang babae yayakap sa bidang lalaki, sabay taas ng kilay at ngingisi.

3. Ang pansit, nagdadala ng malas. Uuwi ang bida na may dalang pansit para sa kanyang nanay na si Anita Linda. Tatawagin ng bida ang mga bata para kumain at kukumustahin niya ang pag-aaral ng mga bata habang kumakain sila. Biglang may titigil na sasakyan sa harap ng bahay at pauulanan ng bala ang pamilya. Mamamatay si Anita Linda at sisigaw ang bida ng “Inaaayyyy!!!” at mangangakong ipaghihigante ito. Moral of the eksena: Ang pansit ay nakakamatay.

4. Kapag may magkaribal na babae, ‘yung mabait derecho ang buhok at may bangs. ‘Yung salbahe, laging kulot.

5. Sa Pinoy action movies, ang bida hindi nauubusan ng bala.

A Fly’s Prayer by Jayquin G. Rodriguez

O my god I believe
you are present in my
life.

I know that you
made me but can you
give me a long
life?

Make me big.
Give me good food
because I always eat
rotten food.

I wish they will
give me freedom.
And Lord I wish
they will appreciate
me even if I’m
Just a fly.

Amen.

This poem is unedited as posted in facebook account of my Tatay Joel, Jayquin’s father. Jayquin is only 12 years old and very talented. So I am not surprise at all if he actually made a poem so nice, striking, and meaningful. Keep up the good work Jayquin! He is with his parents, brother Waki, and sister Crisel at Phnom Penh, Cambodia for almost a year now.
