Jenn (Germany) and Jen are from the Philippines... and I grew up there. I miss the food and the Filipino brand of humor. =)

I am from the Philippines. Life is hard for most filipinos but we are I think the happiest people on the planet! There was even a Time article about it trying to find an explanation. We find laughs in almost everything! Patsy from
