Since Koreanovelas have started to pop out and dominate our television screens, the Korean culture has also made its way one step closer to our hearts.

No wonder, their food too, has become a subject of curiosity for some Pinoys. Some like it while others are still learning to love its distinct, unique taste.

10 Incredible Facts The Jeepney Has Revealed About Filipinos

Aside from dogs that are considered to be man's best friend, here in Manila, you might as well count a jeepney to be one of your closest 'friend'. Why? You ride on them daily when you go to school or work. You wait for them everytime you go home. Funny because you learned what traffic really means because of them. You know that everytime you pull the string inside it'll momentarily stop for you. You might also have seen 'Hudas' not pay and got oriented that a 'driver is a sweet lover' too. If you are particular with all these things, then you are indeed a jeepney buddy and a certified, true Pinoy.

Okay. Let's say you now already know everything about the jeepneys. But did you know that these colorful, noisy kings of the road have an unexpected origin?

A Curious Case Study on Skin Whitening and Filipinos: A Fad or a Sign of a Confused, Insecure Identity?

Jinky Oda (Actress) - A successful endorser of one of the Philippines' largest 
skin whitening manufacturers

My mom's innovative attempts to make my skin look whiter has been an epic failure. Still, I couldn't hide my true brown color. I only get whiter than usual during the rainy season since that's the time that I don't have a choice but to stay home.

When I was at the age of ten, my mom always reminds me not to play under the afternoon sun. She often put some fresh squeezed calamansi juice into a pail of water which I was using everytime I take a shower in the morning.
