Japanese Women

Akala ko puro mga sexy at magaganda mga babae dito sa Japan.

Last night I went to Ueno and Aki to buy some pasalubong stuffs before I go back to Pinas this Friday. I was all alone and went out at around 06:00 PM JST. The moment I went out of my apartment building, a fat Japanese girl passed by the front window which is across the street. She was noticeably fat and seldom do I see fat Jap girls. She was the first count.

I went to dine at my favorite Thai restaurant where my friend Angel (a Thai waitress) was working. She greeted me with that welcoming "Sawasdee Kha" and felt the Thai hospitality once more. I was alone eating my all-time favorite Phad Kaprao Moo and three tables away from me was a fat Haponesa with blond hair. She was I think twice as big as me. She may be fat but she dresses up nicely. That was count number 2.

It was then that I realize that perhaps this was my "See a fat Japanese Lady Day" when I saw the bulging thighs of this Japanese high school student as I was riding the train. You might have seen in anime's or movies how a common Japanese high school uniform for girls looks like, and it looks the exact way of how I saw this girl. Long black socks and very short skirts. The only unusual was the bulge on her legs. She was fat girl number 3.

The fatest so far that I have seen was when I was in Yodobashi to buy those toy cars. She was 5 ft tall and 4 times my size. Wow! She was wearing this very thick clothes and by the sight of her, she looks like she's suffocating and going to explode. She walk passed me and I could smell a bit of her perspiration. Hehehe... excuse me. She's the 4th count.

And the incidents go on and on and on. I lost my counting but I swear that was the most unusual of my days here in Japan. Maybe that was unusual because I mostly see beautiful Japanese girls every day.

Sikat nga ba talaga ang mga Pinoy artists?

While browsing Yahoo! Answers, this post gave me a big realization:

We always claim na "sikat ang pinoy", world class, etc. etc. abot langit ang pagmamalaki sa mga artists natin. Pero parang nan-liit ako ng mabasa ko tong post na to.

Ngayon ko lang rin nalaman ung term na "K-Pop" (Korean-Pop) at "J-Pop" (Japanese-Pop), wala akong kamunduhan tungkol sa term na to until this visit to the link I gave you. It's a genre that made our Asian brothers/sisters popular. Bakit nga ba bumibenta ung mga Pop/Dance na mga kanta nila hindi lang sa bansa nila kundi kahit dito sa atin sa Pinas at sa buong mundo.

Sample ng mga Japanese artists/songs na sumikat ay ang: Pizzicato 5, Utada Hikaru, and the countless Japanese songs we all know out of Anime's.

Sample ng mga Korean artist ay sina: Rain, at tsaka sina... hmmm... wala na akong alam.. heheheh.. hindi ako korean fan eh. Pero alam natin at hindi natin maikakaila na maraming korean na kanta na sumikat din sa atin dahilan na rin sa mga tonetoneladang Koreanovela's nila.

We have a lot of good songs these days na sumikat sa ibang bansa but mostly on the genre of alternative bands, classic remakes, mga karaoke belting songs, etc. Hanggang dito nalang ba ang kakayahan ng mga pinoy artists? Yeah we have some popular artists like Eheads na sikat sa Singapore or other SEA countries, Christian Bautista na sikat sa Indonesia (which by the way I heard his song played in one of the malls in Thailand), Regine Velasquez as "Asia's Songbird" etc... Pero kung mapapansin natin ung mga genre nila umiikot lang sa balads/alternative rock. We know a lot of Filipino artists are good and talented, pero eto nlang ba kaya natin?

Pero pag mga dance tunes or from popular culture, hmmm wala ata... Kindly enlighten me. Or maybe hindi ko lang napapansin kasi I am in the mentality of "baduy yan".

Basically maybe this is the problem of every Filipino. We tag these kinds of songs as "Baduy" kaya hindi bumibenta. Hehehe... With J-Pop and K-Pop as asian genres gaining popularity all over the world, and with the "baduy" mentality of the Filipinos, would Flip-Pop be a possibility? Why can't we give this type of music a chance in our society as Filipinos? What do you think?
