    Question Sounds you associate with the Philippines?

    What are the sounds you hear, that make you know you are in the Philippines?

    One that I think of & always find myself whistling, is the jingle to the little blue Nestle ice cream trikes you see & hear everywhere...I like it, though it could drive you if you had to listen to it all day, everyday?





    There's plenty of 'em.

    The morning crowing of the cockerills. You can hear them everywhere.
    Even from our house in Marikina City I can hear that.
    I've noticed you can hear that on TV as well.

    Cockerels dawn chorus, then the Toko gecko's. We had two in the house we rented in February, about 12/18 inch's long. Noisy buggers.

    Oh yes, there is one stall in SM MegaMall that constantly has this jingle going. It drives me nuts. This along with the guys ringing bells to try and attract customers.

    Sound of Jeepneys, trikes and horns

    Also the sound of my name being repeated over and over. As if people in the family not sure what to say to me they seem to simply say my name to make me feel involved in the convo
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    "Inilog....inilog....inilog......biya....biya....biya" the kristos taking bets at sabong.Always roosters,my mates got hundreds on his farm near Mt Matutum but I slept through morning reveille like a log,oh yeah,and Tuckoooo,tuckooooo,tuckooooo as the Tokays call at night,and the myriad of marsh frogs sing in the rice paddies once the sun sets.



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
