This is unacceptable for us, for us who exercise equal human rights in our place. Until this day, this culture still exists in other countries, the practice or exploiting of women and children, sexually, by forced labor, hard and underpaid labor which require the physical strength of a man, and all forms of gender discrimination. The word ‘gentleman’ does not exist here, in fact, only the ‘man’ is recognized; this man has lived by the principle that a stick of cigarette is worthy that a woman; or can a smoking cigar carry a hay for him? I would not even start imagining how he is as a husband.

The thoughts of man
Oh, no. Well, well, gentlemanly manners seem to be the thing of the past society. As old as the treatment is on the other part of the world, this side of new age is forming a new treatment. Sleep with your bike and let the woman sleep outside exposed to the elements. Sometimes other people just think of themselves, protecting their material possessions and hurting the one who should be more important to them. The time when the fork of his bicycle breaks, there will be no one outside the tent already.
Sumo wrestling
Just sharing one of the activities they did at home during one of their group outings. Sumo wrestling is a fun activity, especially if you have no idea left on what to play during the games 😀 Players should be in the center of a circle and whoever will be pushed out of the circle is the loser. In this picture the twins are wrestling each other. I did not even know they are twins.
How to lose weight?
There are lot of people trying to figure out how to lose weight that is very effective and is best for them. There are many ways in reducing weight. The biggest aspects that are very important to have are self-discipline and determination in good diet, exercise and effective pills if the natural ways are not working. Having extra pound is not good for your health.
Roasted pig
Roasted pig, or lechon, is a staple food in the Philippines especially during celebrations, gatherings and big events. There are so many “lechonhouses” in the malls and almost in every streets that is it readily available if you don’t roast your own. To be most crunchy, crispy and yummy, it has to be slowly cooked over a fire for several hours to a day. The pig is completely cleaned and its internal organs are removed for another menus or whatever way one wants to cook them. Inside the pork for roasting are several spices and seasoning for greater taste, especially lemon grass that removes any pungent meat smell and makes it fragrant. The roasted pork/meat is very tender and the skin is very crispy the food is very delicious. It is best served with ketchup or any sauce.
I missed lechon so much, so it will just wait till I go home!
Two wheel drive
I remember an email circulating around about “only in Vietnam”, featuring the scenes and stuff that happen only in the land, or in the streets of the Viets. Motorists using the motorbikes and loading them like they would a big truck. The more load, the better is the driver, I guess, because he has to have more control and balancing. This also reminds me that in Netherlands, thousands of bicycles are rolling down the streets as much as the four-wheel drives. This is the beauty of going to a lot of places for we will learn new things and about the other people and their culture. And I love it.
Horn blowing
Do you let people know that you are in town? And if you do, how do you do it? Today a man in New York was arrested for misdeanor and ticketed for blowing his horn excessively. Of course he is DWI for which he is charged with. He just wanted to let people know that he is in town. Whatever, intoxication really makes one to do unimaginable and unreasonable things. Speaking of horn blowing. The very first thing I noticed while traveling in India right outside the airport was the excessive horn blowing! Horns honking here and there always, and by always it was almost every second. I was surprised at first, but of course, I was entering into a different place with a culture of its own. But when those horns stop blowing, one would definitely kind of miss it, for the roads are not complete without vehicles and rickshaws that don’t blow horns, loudly.
