“Lulu: You should just give up and take the energy you spent here and start your own blog….or do you just speak up when there’s another “Desperate Housewives” situation?”

wow! i have been away for so long,sorry Christian.

y do u think should i give up? hahaha! i really pity you,you are clearly one of those Filipino people that this Andrew describes in his blog,you kiss foreigners’ ass.anything they say,you bow. reminds me of the “makapilis” anyways, if you want to kiss their ass,ma at pa!

and why do you suggest i spend my energy somewhere else? anong pake mo? close ba tayo para pag sabihan mo ako kung anong gagawin ko? and what’s with the desperate housewife there? hahaha i dont watch that so i dont get what you are saying,but i think it was meant as an insult or something,well…. im not surprised, and i understand your last comment, you clearly cannot carry on with some intelligent conversation so you resort to some low level non sense comment para lang may masabi hahahaha! hijo, i understand, lahat ng taong mababa talaga ang level ng IQ,ganyan ang mga comment hindi mo kasi kayang makipag talastasan ng may sense.

Lulu, I write because it creates interest. Some Filipinos want to see a better Philippines. Some (like you) want to defend a tragic legacy, a wasted opportunity. I expect people to be pissed off with my comments, that’s why its called ‘critical thinking’. A great many people dont want to grow, and would rather delude themselves. Your empty reponse is the only negative feedback I have received on this site. Two responses on my website were deleted because they were deficient in relevance or content. You dont need to agree, you just need to formulate an argument. Otherwise you devalue my site http://www.sheldonthinks.com.

sheldon,i think you are enjoying this.You certainly have a way of twisting facts.who is dilusional?you cant even accept the fact that some people are pissed off by what you say on your blog,they leave comment,but you sheldon,because you cant accept the truth,delete comments critical of you.That’s some self esteem you got there!anyway,im wishing you success on your endeavor.Best wishes sheldon.

I cant continue with your little game here.But don’t worry you will still be given a chance to go at length to prove your point.Practice on your talent for persuasion sheldon,you are definitely going to be needing that.

Lulu, sorry but you are seriously deluded. About the only thing you have conceded is that I’m a good writer. You have no sense of reality. I only engaged in personal attacks after you did. You started with a threat ‘like I’m watching you’ and ‘get our of your country’.
You never conceded that Filipinos have issues. You took offence because you perceived that I was singling out Filipinos. Actually on my blog http://polly-rage.blogspot.com – I critique all the countries where I have lived, including my own. Considering the topic, you have said nothing of what you think is wrong with the Philippines. If its so simple, why is the Philippines still in this situation. Actually my blog has some quite original views on the issue.
You said that you objected to my ‘generalisation of Filipinos’. Generalising is not a bad thing, its part of the thought process (logic), the other part is differentiating. I do both on the site. Because of your delusion you ignore the differentiation I made. I did not imply all Filipinos are bad, though I would argue essentially everyone has flaws.
So only after a laborious critique do I say you are a twit. Mr Abe is no friend of mine. Maybe he sees the value in my content, or recognises that I dont substitute smear for argument.
I have been to many countries. No where do I get the ‘inviting smiles’ that I get in the Philippines. If I walk down the street I would say that its probably 10% of the guys (gay), 15% of the girls. I do like the eye content, though maybe the motive is bad. That reflects on more than those 10%, it is a reflection on values. The fact that these people think its acceptable that people behave like this. Then there are the hypocrites that through popcorn at you if you have a GF in a cinema. Doesnt happen anywhere else. People who think that its ok to ask for my computer when I finish my apartment lease. I have so many examples. These people are enabled. Its the servile root of this country, a culture of entitlement. Where is the evidence that anything is changing. If you think ‘appeals to national pride’ is the answer, its the problem. No one should have pride in their nation. You dont stand for everything your nation is, why would you diminish your individuality by expressing yourself as such. People do it because they want a ‘false pride’. On the negative side, they do it to escape responsibility.
What does it mean to say you love your country? You love Boracay? Its a third rate beach. You love your vegetables. I can get better in every other country. Not saying (certain) Filipinos dont have some fine qualities, some are so special, I’ve not met finer people anywhere in the world, including my GF.
You say “So please,spare me,you will never understand where i am coming from”. Thats because you have no self esteem, you dare not express an original idea. Its just attacking, no contribution.
PS: I dont attack you for your sake. You’re an idiot, I do it for the benefit of Mr Abe’s readers and myself. We both get hits because of you. His readers like my stuff as well.
I stop critiquing your stuff when you stop making empty assertions.
I deleted your entry to my blog because it lacked content and did not correspond to the blog post. My readers have standards, you have none. Make some attempt to honestly critique my posts, and your content will stay.

Christian
Please allow me to make clear that i am not in a state of denial nor am i dilusional.I am aware of the ills of my country and we Filipinos are doing something about it.i never said his writtings were false.What I was objecting to is how the Filipinos were generalize.Next time please make sure you have a complete grasp and understanding of what is going on before you lecture me about “Filipino pride”.You want me to accept that Filipinos are scandalous?Filipinos are bad?All of us?A lot of us thinks foreigners are gold mines?A lot?I pity those who genuinely smile at him,they have been judge already.

Having a sense of dignity and national pride doesn’t mean we Filipinos are condoning the corrupt practices in our country,it doesn’t mean we are blind,it simply means we Filipinos love our country.Di ba maski gaano kapangit o gaano kasama ang mga anak natin o mga magulang ,hindi tayo papayag na lokohin sila o alipustahin dahil mahal natin sila pero gagawin natin ang lahat para mag bago sila?So please,spare me,you will never understand where i am coming from.There are more important things in your life you should attend to than ridicule me for my stand.

and please sheldon,stop attacking me here.This is not my blog.I am just a visitor here.Mr. Abe have been kind enough to let my comments pass through.I am embarrassed already that I am causing a stir at his own blog.So if you cant be a graceful visitor of our country,at least have some respect for Mr. Abe’s site.Stop attacking me here.Your endless attacks and harsh name calling will never make me budge.Why do you delete our comment at your own blog and then post your unending tirades against me here?

I appreciate the honesty Christian, but you know it was only ever ‘false pride’ since no legitimate pride is collective. Yeh you can contribute to a group, but pride comes from your contribution, your efficacy within the group, not from merely belonging.
I would also suggest that the value in honesty recognising comes from not just acknowledging truth but differentiating the fiction from fact. If there is any fiction in what I say, why not raise in. That is where the growth lies. If you reflected on the everyday conversations of Filpinos you would find a contrast, if you reflected on the way Westerners & Asians communicate, you would find a contrast. Look at the implications. The ideas you convey in speech says something about your thought process. It might be worthwhile considering the depth of the content. I recognise that there is bad thinking in the West and ultimately it depends on the individual. The economic success of any country conveys some information, so do the quality of relationships, etc

Lulu, there is some truth to what Brian and Andrew are saying. That’s why it hurts us. If they said that we ride elephants and swing from trees, we wouldn’t care because there’s no truth to it. Sometimes we get caught up in so-called “Filipino pride” that we get blind.

Lulu, i said all that, I also made it clear that I was referring to particular Filipinos, not all Filipinos. How dishonest of you to imply otherwise.
In the USA you probably have a 10x higher probably of being mugged by a black person. That does not mean that all blacks are intent on mugging you. Though how could I blame them.
The intent of the blog post is to identify the reasons why Filipinos have a higher propensity for delusion, crime, dishonest, in fact the values you are not conveying. That you for proving my point. See http://polly-rage.blogspot.com. You dont realise this but actually logic is based on generalisation and differentiation.
Lulu – you are an idiot.

Hehehe!Sheldon,why dont you ask Mrs Aurora yourself or better yet ask yourself,you have a shameful life,you can easily figure out the answer to your own question.

THE GREAT ANDREW SHELDON SAID:

“A lot of them smile like I’m someone’s desert, like I’m someone’s ticket out of the country. I’m told they have a special respect for foreigners, but no. I think its more like relish. So I get the sense that they feel they have been dealt a bad hand by being born ‘Filipino’ and they relish the opportunity I present. If not as a boyfriend, then as a sponsor for a visa, a free 2nd hand computer, advise on immigration, a little generosity. Some are more tactful than others. Some are very patient.”

“So why do I suggest Filipinos are so bad? Well Filipinos are very affable people, very easy going, so very easy for some people to take into their confidence. It is afterall how they live their lives, ‘in each others pockets’. That’s how they live their lives.”

“5. Are Filipinos among the most scandalous people in the world. Actually I think so”

SOME WORDS OF WISDOM YOU GOT THERE MR. SHELDON.

I see your way of thinking is just enclosed on “Brian haters=definitely DJ and Co.”

Your views in life are narrow indeed.

Suit yourself Mr. Sheldon.

Pasensya na po Yuga,dito pa ako nag kakalat.Gusto ko kasi mga views mo kaya napadaan ako and left a comment.Kaso mo may isang austaliano dito na nagagalit sa akin,pasensya na po.

Hey Mr. “All Filipinos are opportunistic i hate them but Im still staying in the Philippines because I make money here” look at this,Brian’s desperate attempt to cover up his comments on that slip about “Boracay people loving” comment,Brian obviously forgot to log of from his account.I told you!Di ba?I wasn’t making up a story to discredit him.And you have to face the reality that there are other people who are already disgusted with your friend Brian Gorrell.

I see ‘Lola’ is spreading the same nonsense she was spreading on other sites.
She is trying to imply that Brian is distorting information, but actually its Lola and her partners who are the ‘distortionists’. Appealing to Filipino ‘national pride’ (a contradiction in terma actually) with statements like “Mr. Gorrell has cross the line already,and a group of concerned Filipinos are not taking this lightly”.What these people are failing to address is the problems in the Philippines that Brian raises. They dont realise that this is bigger than Brian.
Lola saids “we are actually conducting background check on gorrell”. Well, it sounds like she is alligned with DJ’s lawyer.
