The following are my personal compilation of the top 10 pinoy's pastime. The purpose of this blog is not to humiliate the Filipino people, but rather, to show the real characteristic of many pinoy habits and for us to reflect on these pastime and how they affected our lives everyday..
We all know that gossiping is our national pastime. People always wanted to comment on many things they know nothing about. They tend to share and spread information weather it is true or fiction and they would always get information from other gossipers who know nothing.
Most Filipinos are more interested in gossip rather than knowing the truth. That’s why the Philippines is like one big movie industry. Most Filipino’s tendency to gossip is to minimized by their being too busy looking for food.
Gossiping is the best pastime for us, it is always favorite pastime in the neighborhood to get latest news that will awaken their curiosity and imagination, and it is one effective way to ward off boredom and hunger. It is the best weapon to combat envy and hatred.
We Filipinos know fully well that gossiping is our national pastime, thus from showbiz to politics, gossiping is quite exciting. Just switch to all prime time local TV programs and you’ll have more than ample reason to believe that we relish this favorite pastime.
For me, gossip is negative activity that better left undone, because it hurts other people oftentimes without any solid basis. It makes the gossiper feel good at the expense of the gossip victim. Gossip tends to full people down instead of uplifting them.
Sleeping is frequently pastime of most Filipino people, we love to sleep especially when the weather is cold and rainy. it feels relax when you sleep because you are able to forget many problems even for a while that you have. aside from that you are able to have piece of mind.
Sleeping is one way to help you get relieve from stress.However it is the best time to relax your body and your mind and also to have your fantasy on your dreams.
It’s nice to tune-in before you sleep because it’s easy for you to get sleep. Music can help you feel better and relax.
All babies pastime is to sleep because they are babies. We’ve always wanted to get them sleep because it helps them easy to grow past.
For the adults or adolescence, it helps them to take rest when they are tired. It’s nice to sleep when you are so much tired. Upon wake-up, it is a sign that God’s grace is in with you because He is able to give you another life, and another day to live and experience the life.
One characteristics of Pinoy is always being lazy. We’ve always wanted to make our life easy, sometimes we don’t exerting more efforts on many things and we just wanted to relax and just to tambay.
The word tambay comes from the word “istambay” which derived from the English word “standby” or “stand by”, meaning to say a person which readily available or be present without action.
If we will be noticed most of us Filipino people do not really make use our time in sensible ways or sensible things, we don’t use our time at all and sometimes we just wasting our time on many nonsense things.
Tambay can also mean hang out. The most commonly and traditionally referred to as tambays or standby are those groups of adolescence and adults men who hang around by the street or outside sari-sari store, often times taking shot of alcohol drink prejudged as was freak.
Government warning “SMOKING IS DANGEROUS TO YOU HELP”, but how come that this many people are still lighting up with this kind of pastime.
If we will look around, people could buy cigarettes anywhere and can smoke pretty much anytime even in the hospitals. Aside from that we can always look the ads of cigarettes all over the place.
According to statistics, 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they’re reached the age of 18 years. Most adults who started smoking is their teens age and they never expected to become more addicted, that’s why many people say it’s just so much easier to not start smoke at all.
Smoking is a hard habit to break because it contains tobacco nicotine, which is highly addictive like drugs. Many pinoys pastime is to smoke all over the time and if you would ask them, they have a variety of different reasons why taking this, some would say its cool and the others might say astig..
I know that today we are more aware about how smoking brings bad effect to our health. Almost everyone knows that excessive smoking can cause disease like cancer and heart disease that it can shorten the life of a person by ten years or more. As they said, once you start doing it, it’s hard to stop it, maybe because they are so much addicted and they found enjoyment whenever taking and doing it.know that today we are more aware about how smoking brings bad effect to our health.
When the cell phone was invented, almost all people become obsess to have this gadget. These gadgets help a lot for everyone because like internet it can also help us to connect and get in touch with other people.
Cell phone is just s small gadget but for everyone who has this means a lot. It is significant for everyone because it serves as our communication to other people. When you miss someone or you are worried to someone you can call or text him. It is usable for every person that in a relationship or long distance relationship because it will serves as their connection to each other.
Texting is also pastime of many people to join on the games, contest or promo on television and radio by texting the right answer to the given question on the show.
I heard a lot of issues with regards to this texting. Aside from its advantages that brought it also brings negative impact for many people especially for the youth and students. Like, they would prefer to hold their cell phone rather than to hold their books and notes to study their lesson. Sometimes, they were able to cut their classes just to meet their text mate which brings them sometimes in danger. They could also learn to watch those scandal videos which are not advisable for the youth and children.
It is usual for many Filipino to drink liquor or drink alcohol. Whatever occasion or party we celebrate, it is never missing. People drink alcohol for many reasons but whatever it is they are all nonsense because alcohol does not help with anything and is certainly not good for anyone. When someone has a problem or depressed a bottle of liquor is still always in his side thinking that he was able to forget his problem when he is drunk.
People say that when they drink alcohol it makes them easier to find new friends and socialize easily with others as they feel they are better company. Aside from that makes them feels good and relaxed though I think it’s not.
Some people do drink to get away from their problems that they have carried in their lives. Though drinking alcohol it helps them to forget things they wanted to forget but we can never deny the fact that problems do not go away with drinking as a matter of fact they increase and get worse the more when you drunk.
Some people would say they drink because everyone does, but for me it is a bad reason for doing it, however it is the main reason why people do drink. Drinking alcohol is usually considered “grown up” and attractive but it is nonsense. It is just a time wasting and money wasting. Instead of buying these kinds of drinking you could spend your money on other more important things or save your money for the future.
Alcohol can make people want to fight and can cause of trouble and many crimes are drink related. The fact that a person may have been drunk when committing any such crime but whatever reason he has it never excuse in the eyes of the law.
Drinking alcohol is the pastime for many people, they have formed a habit of drinking alcohol which is very dangerous because it can also be addictive and it can get hold of you making it difficult to stop so my advice is drink moderately.
