Filipinology

So. I think i want to go to school in the Philippines. Why? Because it would be really cool.
And I think my grandmother (as organized** as she is, I think she might actually hold truth to this.) said that she would pay for my college if I went to a college in the Phils. So anyways. If i was to go to a school in the Phils. what school would I go to?! well dear friends, and non pinoys. Iwould go to

Polytechnic University of the Philippines

What would I study? Well I really want to study psychology because it is just the most fascinating thing ever. (I set it as one of my interests on stumble upon and I get all kinds of cool things to read about and test myself on.) and I would minor in Filipinology.

Isn't that just the coolest thing to study, EVER?! 

It's all about everything that is Filipino. Like culture, and government, and idk everything.

And it even ties in with my major because it delves*** into the psyche of the Filipino.

And Filipino psychology is cool.

They have this core value thing called kapwa 

and ah, I don't know how to explain it so copy and paste I go.

Kapwa, meaning 'togetherness', is the core construct of Filipino Psychology. Kapwa has two categories, Ibang Tao (other people) and Hindi Ibang Tao (not other people).

• Ibang Tao ("outsider") There are five domains in this construct:
  • Pakikitungo: civility
  • Pakikisalamuha: act of mixing
  • Pakikilahok: act of joining
  • Pakikibagay: conformity
  • Pakikisama: being united with the group.
• Hindi Ibang Tao ("one-of-us") There are three domains in this construct:
• Pakikipagpalagayang-loob: act of mutual trust
• Pakikisangkot: act of joining others
• Pakikipagkaisa: being one with others

And this is the best thing i have found, I think.

Well I think it's cool

Bahala Na: This attitude, loosely translated into English as 'fatalistic passiveness', actually describes the Filipino way of life, in which, he is determined to do his best, hence the term bahala na, which actually came from the phrasebathalan na, meaning 'I will do all my best, let God take care of the rest'.

I think that I would fall under the category of a fatalistic passive person.

**She's extremely forgetful. Her explanation of being so forgetful: "I am so forgetful because I am so organized." It actually makes a lot of sense. Like we are so organized, like organizing so many things at one time that we just forget that we are organizing some things so we forget :)
