you might be filipina if you cook the most delicious foods on earth, but put everything including packaging, clipped off fat, yesterdays rice, and old newspapers in the sink turn on the water and hope for the best. and insist on washing dishes in a large bowl instead of the sink.

And to ALL the PINOY NURSES here, this one's for YOU (and ME):

YOU are DEFINITELY PINOY if you give TENDER, LOVING CARE to all your patients, no matter what...yes.gif

In Saudi, at least 90% of the tertiary hospitals (private/government) there assign PINOY nurses ONLY to their VIP units... I guess that explains a lot.

Mabuhay ang lahing PINOY!!!

I totally agree with you sistah :thumbs:

Longganisa being a sausage is more in line with spaghetti now when you put hotdogs in it, that's a Filipino twist. Hotdogs are not common to the dish. IMO.....

You might be Filipino if......you have a cartful of corned beef, when its on sale.

Hmm that means everybody here in Hawaii is Filipino :blink: That is why spam and corn beef is not sold during black Friday at Wal-Mart na.
