I wonder if this will appear quickly. Check out the version of a Korean choir in the Tube. Ang bayan kong Pilipinas Lupain ng ginto't bulaklak Pag-ibig na sa kanyang palad Nag-alay ng ganda't dilag At sa kanyang yumi at ganda Dayuhan ay nahalina Bayan ko, binihag ka Nasadlak sa dusa CHORUS Ibon mang may layang lumipad Kulungin mo at umiiyak Bayan pa kayang sakdal-dilag Ang 'di magnasang makaalpas Pilipinas kong minumutya Pugad ng luha at dalita Aking adhika Makita kang sakdal laya  Engwish   Philippines, my country, my homeland Gold and flowers in her heart abound Blessings on her fate did love bestow Sweet beauty's grace and splendor's glow. How her charms so kind and tender Drove the stranger to desire her... Land of mine, in fetters kept, You suffered as we wept. Birds that freely claim the skies to fly When imprisoned mourn, protest and cry! How more deeply will a land most fair Yearn to break the chains of sad despair. Philippines, my life's sole burning fire, Cradle of my tears, my misery... All that I desire To see you rise, forever free! within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

I love the Philippines. It is the land of my birth;  It is the home of my people.  It protects me and helps me to be strong, happy and useful.  In return, I will heed the counsel of my parents;  I will obey the rules of my school;  I will perform the duties of a patriotic, law-abiding citizen;  I will serve my country unselfishly and faithfully  I will be a true Filipino in thought, in word, in deed.  and my dream house is a bahay kubo but i told you this already before i guess anyway gypsy life has its own attraction you cannot lost something if you have nothing and the only thing you have to keep intact is yourself only dead fish go with the flow ~ JolieLaide

Janey, Love the song and pics. Reminds me of Bagio. Missing Pinas already after all this years... Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

I remember when I was little, we had a "bahay kubo" at the backyard of our old villa, where we frequently had our "siesta" (afternoon nap), and boy! the fresh air was just so cool from under the bamboo floorings, anahaw or "buli" windows, and nipa roof...I miss those days...How simple life was, then...I wish we can take back the hands of time... Just call me ELZ

When I was young kid, we lived in a nipa house...we had a big lot and my mother plant all kinds of vegetables around it, we had many fruit bearing trees, mostly citrus like kalamansi, dayap, salumagi and lumboy (dunno the exact translation) and many palm trees too, so refreshing to just sit back or lay in the afternoon in that kubo....I still dream to have that one day, beside that bigger house, a kubo where you can just nap or relax )

Who are these people exactly assuming a balikbayan equals an atm? Can I wear it is a shield from bullies? I'm strong enough with weaknesses. I know useless information.  haahaha heed the counsel of a parent. Rules? What rules?  Law-abiding netiZen. Unselfish..? You be the judge. I remember. You're right there. Can't complain too much. Seldom that I will. The most interesting house to live in was a green house with mom's colleagues from school. It had a garden for the students to plant whatever they like. within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

Thanks. Looking forward to reading a story about your loving parents Dan. If it isn't loved ones I'm living with, they're complete strangers. It's a learning curve trying to get along with house mates. within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

Janey, Love the song and pics. Reminds me of Bagio. Missing Pinas already after all this years...  You should come visit once for the last time hopefully some day I can take you. I read this from DF written by Mila Heo. Hope she doesn't mind me borrowing it. Para sa mga taga-Baguio. To help our fellow “Shy(?)” native deniers conquer their “ba-in” (shame) and stump the stumper instead, I’m proposing these comebacks: Bakit maputi (matangkad/maganda) ka? (Why are you fair-skinned? (tall/pretty)?): Answer: No naman, ako nga ang pinakamaitim (pinakabansot/pinakapangit) sa buong angkan namin. (Not really, in fact I’m the darkest (shortest/ugliest) in my clan.) Di ba mga Igorot may buntot? (Don’t Igorots have tails?) Answer: Ah iyon ba? Ipinaputol ko na, sawang-sawa na akong magbutas ng mga salawal ko! (Oh, that? I had it cut, I got tired of having to cut holes out of my breeches!) (I actually wish I had one so that I can whip the ignoramus with it) “Ikaw naman, huwag mo’ng sabihin iyan.” (You’re joking, don’t say that you are an Igorot) Answer: Why not? I’m a native of Benguet(or Mt. Province, etc). I’m a genuine Igoy, the real McCoy. This answer may lead to other ignorant assumptions that you must be prepared to clarify. Igorots are short, dark, mountain people in g-strings with spears and shields. Answer: Just say, those people belong to the Aetatribes from Central Luzon, while Igorots are from the North. Itas are slim/cute, Igorots are stocky/macho. No kidding! Igorots are beggars. Answer: Although they represent only a tiny, miniscule portion of the entire Igorot lot , they are not beggars! Those you see garbed in g-strings and native attire are “Street Performers.” As legends go, this “job” even funded many of their sons’ and daughters’ tuition fees in medical and law schools. In the developed world, singers, dancers, acrobats, magicians and comedians who perform on the streets for a small “donation” are called “Buskers.” Beggarsonly beg, they do not entertain. Playing the gong and dancing requires talent. As well, donning a skimpy g-string and showing ones rear protuberance simply takes a lot of guts. Apay kaya yo dayta? Igorots, stay true to yourselves. As a brave people, we successfully fended off the Spaniards when the lowlanders couldn’t. Our political system was already highly developed even before the introduction of a formal Philippine Society. We built beautiful structures that stood the test of time. We can look anyone in the eye and we’re never servile. Our sense of humor is well-developed. We are strong, honest, smart and COOL. Be proud of your heritage and culture. within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

Because I love the Philippines, I will heed the counsel of my parents, I will obey the rules of my school, I will perform the duties of a patriotic citizen, Serving, studying, and praying faithfully. I will offer my life, dreams, successes To the Philippine nation within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

I forgot lolo is grandpa and lola is grandma. Tito is uncle. I use Tagalog to refer to the relatives in the Philippines and English for the white relatives. within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

It's where I'd naps too and cooked rice in the mini bahay kubo that my play mates made with me. Maybe revisit. within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

Salumagi don't know. Only seen it in the recipe, but it doesn't make it clear what it is. Lumboy is java plum. It's been a long time since I ate one.My plan is to have a small nipa hut, but it transformed into a taller Japanese temple. Maybe have both. within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.

On my holiday I stayed in 2 nipa huts. Sometimes I try to book a hotel or hostel, so I won't have to stay in someone else's, but then can't refuse invitations either. My bff lives in a tiny nipa hut with a sink and toilet facilities outside, but she didn't want her family to know that she lives in it. Every morning she and her partner would breathe in the cold fresh northern breeze. She and I with her cats and cockroach squeezed in at the top part with her banig and her partner joked about getting in between using us as pillows, but he eventually slept on the bottom part of it. It was strangely cosy in spite of the short sleep. within each one of us, and let it begin with me (and each one of us)..one breath at a time.
