Creativity, Filipino Style

The Filipino people are known for their creativity and artistry.  But beyond that, what I really love about our Filipino friends is their sense of humor.  You just gotta love the down-to-earth-ness, the easy smile, and the general happy-go-lucky nature of the Filipinos. 

Check out these {apparently actual} business names in the Philipppines...

The following probably best explains
some of the business names above:

"Filipinos have lived 400 years in a convent
and 50 years in Hollywood."

    I just adore that big smile on M's face... she looks so happy!

    Sonya, that is such a beautiful and sharp capture of that blade of grass.

    Beautiful shots, everyone!

    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
