Filipino Friday

Growing up Filipino

"There is no such thing as taking a picture alone."
"You could never do your chores on time."
"People will always make you eat balut."
"Buying your breakfast and realizing it's still alive."
"Education is a very important thing in Filipino culture."
"Mom you're yelling." Mom: "Hindi ko yelling. This is how I talk."

That's a pretty good list Jessica. I can relate since I also grew up in the United States; I moved to Chicago when I was 9 years old. My kids, I'm sure, would love this video -- especially the "education" part. Yes, your grades can always be better. I passed that on from my parents too. :D

I was going to invite Jessica MacCleary to join FilAm.us, but she already has quite the following on social media.
