i was just discussing this with my co-worker today. she travelled all over asia and said the thing that still sticks to her mind was how happy people were even in the midst of poverty. i told her that my happiest memories was growing up in the philippines, living a hard yet simple and uncomplicated life.

Hehe, lahat pwedeng pagtawanan dito...

"People are generally happy here because they are very satisfied with very little".

"This is not a consumer-driven society. Life here is about community and family and goodwill to other people. It's a place where you don't worry too much".

two excerpts about vanuatu, the happiest country on earth.

i could say the same things about the philippines to some extent, lalo na sa probinsiya.

e kasi naman ang mga taga-ibang bansa konting problema lang nakatunganga na. i think pinoys are used to a hard life and we have learned to appreciate the simple things, far in between they may be.

pero teka bakit parang noong 2005 ay nasa top 10 tayo. ibig sabihin dumami konti ang nakasimangot ngayong 2006...

People in rich countries take life too seriously... we don't. we don't know when to be serious.

and they work so hard so just to pay the bills... we don't work... i mean we don't work as hard... bills? what bills?

they are too stressed... tayo not too much... heck, we have Magic Sing.

and they are lonely... tayo... we barely have any privacy hehe... dami nakikialam sa buhay natin (anjan ang magulang, kapatid, kamag anak, kaibigan, gf, asawa, officemate etc)

Dami suicides sa Japan, HK, Europe, US... dito bihira lang. dami lang nababaliw..

Here's a recent article reporting Americans are now even lonelier...
