JUKE BOX SELECT

Who says Filipino's are poor, and life here is difficult?  I beg to disagree on this notion, why? because I had here in the neighborhood who loves to party almost every weekend. I can always witness their partying, viewing them inside my window. To think that their means of living cannot be categorized as well and off, they would always  celebrate the birthdays of their siblings , again almost every week. I am not exaggerating things, It is my experienced here from the first year of my stay  up to my third year in this apartment now. My neighbor loves to sing, I guess owner of those videoke machines  in our area is making  riches out of that business because the neighbors are a grand patronizer, music lovers. forgive the rhythm , the voice quality and the volume of their music box. Instead of complaining for the volume and the types of music played, I am just holding on to the good side. Like,  I am able to save my electricity because my television is off . Anyway it  would be useless for me to open the television because the other compounds music box is serenading the whole street. You would thought it is a  thanksgiving party of the Barangay official here who won the electoral race.  What can I do, with these trips of my my wonderful neighborhood, Anyone here can give me inputs / advices on how to address the Sunday concert I am always privilege to hear, whether I like it or not.

It all depends on perspective actually. You are only as poor as you think you are. :-)

maybe they have an issue regarding PRIORITIES.. they always go for which will make them feel good first regardless of the 'rainy days' that are surely coming..

haha, and,i thought i was the only one observing that...we live in a barangay where most people can hardly eke by (pardon my words too).
but you see, even my kids have noticed that for every bday celebration,there has to be a videoke, even when foods are just too skimpy...
well, i guess, we pinoys just loves to sing our hearts out even in the midst of hardship.
