You know, I just don’t get it why Filipinos are into breaking records. I honestly do not know the rationale behind that so-called Filipino craze. I mean, what does it do to our country, to our economy? I just really don’t get it so please if you have a kind heart, can you explain it to me?
The other night, I have seen this news on TV about people making a very big brownie. I was like, “What?! Again?!” When you first see the product, of course, you will be amazed and I bet you will crave too. But have you ever thought that maybe there is something much more productive than making a very, very big brownie just to break a record?
You know what I am thinking? They could have bought sacks of rice and donated and divided it for the poor. We have this issue of rice scarcity; we have fellow citizens who do not eat three times a day, because of what? Because they don’t have the money to buy, or in case they have the money, it’s just not adequate because of the increasing prices in the market. How much did they spend for that chocolate ingredient? Maybe they could have bought a sack of rice instead of that pricey chocolate mixture. You get what I mean?
I am not really against getting in in the Guinness Book of Records. But I wish Filipino people should prioritize more the problems here in our country before spending so much money just to get known for having the most number of records broke.

Ha ha! True. We Filipinos can be too concerned about our image. Sometimes we care about it more than we do about real issues and being relevant.

Hehe. I like your layout. I will link you asap. =)
Kaya nga eh. Masmagandang unahin nila yun problema dito. Pwede naman maki-guiness eh pero kung maskailangang iprioritize yun isang bagay, dapat yun muna.

Hahaha, tama. I think our country will be more productive if we have the care & concern for things that matter the most :] Pero on the other hand, I think the breaking the record thing is fine. Ang mga Pinoys kase pasikat eh :)) Pero kahit ganun tayo, sumisikat naman tayo in our own way….. :) Sa ngayon hayaan na lang natin muna silang gumawa ng malaking BROWNIE :)) Pag tapos na nila yun gawin (at kainin), sana maalala nila ang Pinas :)

Haha! Okay lang naman sa akin ang sumali pero di ba mas maganda kung uunahin natin ang problema natin bago sa pasikat? Hahaha!

Don’t forget na wheat is expensive too. Hindi lang yung chocolate niya.
Our society seems to be more image-conscious than ‘problem conscious’(being concerned about the problems that the society is facing). Longest kiss, longest longganisa, biggest shoe,…wtf. We’re bothered creating more ‘biggest’ ‘longgest’ [adjective]+est rather than shaping the future of this country and the people.
Sad no? Ang baba ng ‘impression happiness’ natin. It’s ridiculously low.
BTW, do you have multiply account? I would like to add you sana if you have

Xyla replied on April 27, 2008 9:52 am:
Ay oo nga. Yun mga other ingredients pa.
I think dapat ang “hinuhulma” natin is yung image natin with a strong economy not yung image natin because of creativity, etc. Yes, okay din yun latter pero sabi ko nga priority dapat yun mga problems muna.
Sobrang nakakasad for those na affected ng poverty.
Yes i have. it’s xyladev.

hi ate xy,
after reading this, napaisip din ako. oo nga naman, whats the point? diba? pero sa palagay ko naman masarap yung brownies, at isashare din naman nila yun sa walang makain, LOL.. wah, i really don’t know. pero goodluck to them. im still proud, kahit ganyan tayong mga pinoy.

The Philippines has the third biggest mall in the world… and, unfortunately, it also has a pretty high poverty rate and not enough hospitals per capita. :(

That is what I really do not get. Sabi nila, mahirap na daw ang Pilipinas pero marami pa rin ang nagpupunta ng malls.

April 26th, 2008 at 9:59 am
I totally get your point. I haven’t heard the news though of that brownie. Haha. But yeah, with people who are starving, I guess it is better if they try to find solutions to help people out of poverty rather than trying to break records. Like duh. Some country can always beat them if they want to, then all efforts would just be in vain.

I agree with what you wrote. Bakit hindi sila marunong magprioritize? :( Sayang talaga ginastos nila. Pwede sana mapakain yung mga homeless people. Sana kahit papano binigyan nila ng brownies ang mga kids sa RSCC.
You know, I also remember hearing a news on the radio tungkol sa nasayang na vaccines dahil expired na. I think it was worth a million pesos. :( Nakakainis because sa laki ng halaga na to, dami nang matutulungan pero dahil sa kapabayaan ng iba, ganun nangyari. :(
I really enjoyed your blog posts Ate Xyla. ^___^ I’m a nursing student so I learned many things from you blog. I see that you are from FEU. Some of my friends transferred from FEU. :) Thanks for visiting my blog too and commenting.
Anyway, care to link exchange? :) Please tell me if its ok with you. Take care and God bless! Keep up the great work with this beautiful blog. ^___^

I also remember yun mga bigas at de latang nasayang. Parang may issue about doon na tnatago lang nila hanggang sa nabulok na at di na napakinabangan. Sayang talaga.
Thanks Karla. Sure sure. I will link you. =)
