TRUE LOCALS...FILIPINOS RAISED IN STATES...
ok,, these guys and gals were raised by parents who were Military or college educated parents.. many times both at the same time.. The locals enjoyed the good life , beautiful homes , inport cars , fancy clothes , always have food on the table.. In others words ,, Entitled.. expected , spoiled brats.. ? I mean what they wanted they got most of the time.. lap tops, radios, cell phones,, videos games.. Their own rooms.. while the FOBS,, had to share rooms , get to the dinner table on time or you didn't eat that night, or you didn't eat that much.. Most locals , didn't have to walk to school,, or atleast not have a long walk ,, unlike the Baguio Girls and boys that had to walk long miles to get to school , often times in the freaking rain.. But not the locals.. they either had parents drive them. older friends ,, or better yet drove themselves. Locals feel superior , Why? They speak perfect english , debatable , considering the slang terms and disrespectful comments and attitudes. If theres one thing that is or was annoying is that self- serving , arrogant , know it attitude alot of Locals have about themselves and their disdain and often hurtful perceptions of philippine born citizens.. I mean , i must admit , when I was a teenager back in the day , I used to mercifully make fun of their accents , their attitudes and of course their life styles, wearing slippers , eating with their hands,, eating balut.. yuk,, right,, Especially the accents, I used to mock them like crazy , causing me to get into fights , arguments.. shame on me.. right ? I mean , We locals are stronger , faster , smarter , better looking , more Americanized than those damn fobs.. I mean , the old saying when in Rome , be like the Romans,, but I know what we hated and probably still do.. is when fobs try to talk the lingo ., try to act hip or cool, and we all know its not real.. So as a bad ass smart ass local.. I would make fun of them.. Man, isn;t that crazy ? you hate the people who are trying to be like you,,, what a shame.. ? I mean , we Filipinos are all the same.. we get up in the morning , we shower , eat , and go to work or school or what? But we locals,.are so judgmental.. we think we are so badd.. well we are.. We grew up with the silver spoon, and we can joke with the white , the blacks , the latinos' with out any doubts about our existence in society.. Its a mind set , we locals have,, and at times we cant help the way we act or talk.. I mean , we feel as white or americanized as white america ,, but get this .. locals.. we are still fobs or islanders , third world to alot of america.. I know , when we start talking , we can relate , but just by looks or stereotypes,, we look the part.. i know alot of the locals don't want to learn tagalog or have any knowledge of the lingo, because in thier minds , that would mean , they are submitting to the fobs.. we locals feel like we have our own lingo our own style.. Though we love Manny Pacquiao's fighting prowess , deep deep inside , we dont like the way he talks , and the way he acts too wimpy.. too silent , doesnt have that fighters attiiude.. But We root and claim that Pinoy power.. But we locals forget to acknowledge the Pinoy roots , instead we brag , we show off and we carry ourselves as self centered , selfish , arrogant people that think because we grew up in the states , side by side with whites , black , and mexicans , we feel like we are every bit american as they are.. So we continue to be boastful , we dont make eye contact with Fobs.. and we hate the accents or even the language spoken in our presence.. So , we alienate our selves by not associating with them , or simply acting Americanized,, like wow,, man... whats thats ? tagalog.. eeh.. that sounds so,... third world.. so.,.. unnatural..I know there are locals who are cool with the Real Pinoys.. but alot of us.. have neglected them and ignored them.. But thats whats makes us Locals.. We dont like fish , or the smell, we dont eat with our hands,,, we dont wear slippers to malls or such.. we dislike FILIPINO TV CORNY SHOWS,,,, we dislike the real ethnic foods.. especially if it smells bad..We also hate when pinoys speak tagalolg and we have to exlpain we dont truly understand the lingo.. and suffer the stares , or snickers .. it pisses us off.. But we go on,,. I mean wwe cant all like one another right? But atleast don't demean the Pinoys , because they are making strides in Boxing , Media , dance , Music... but Locals we can boast the the best damn dance crew ever is.. Locals.. from San Diego , Van Nuys, Frisco ,,, yup.. THE JABBAWOCKEEZ .. are bar far better than any group around and they are Locals ,, that have adopted the Pinoy style.. Humble , beyond belief.. So my fellow Locals , lets follow their leads and be humble , no matter how good or great you become.. because witnessing greatness , and watching humility is so refreshing in today's day and age ,, of self promotion, self proclamation.. me...me .. look at me society.. Locals.,. Lets ,, be proud who we are and also lets show respect for those island born Pinoys that have paved the way for us to become what we are,,. LOUD AND PROUD LOCALS,.,.until the next perspective.. take care THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2011
