Dear Koreans,

Now that you live in the Philippines, there are some things you must know about how to look normal at the beach. That is why, as a public service, I will bestow my beach-blending in talents with you so that everyone won’t think you’re crazy.

1. Don’t go to the beach fully clothed. I’m sure you think you look sharp in that button down shirt or that gauzy gown but no, you just look silly and out of place. Everyone is thinking, “hindi ba sila naiinitan/nahihirapan/nababaduyan sa sarili nila?”

2. Don’t wear high heels. Kayo lang, kayo lang ang gumagawa niyan at may rason…everyone else wants to be mobile and not sink into the ground.

3. Don’t have your photo taken doing weird yoga poses on boats, rocks and especially not  beside the choriburger vendor you just met. I know you like kawaiing or whatever the heck you do, just stick with that. That’s less scandalizing.

4. I know you like family fun under the sun activities like throwing the ball around, throwing each other in the water but you’re grown men. Have a couple of beers at night and stop giggling like Anderson Cooper.

5. Be cool. Not “cool” as in what it meant in the 90s, just don’t get excited over every little new thing. Don’t stop in front of every restaurant to have your picture taken. Don’t hand carry a box of Yellow Cab Pizza on your flight back home or wear all boracay merchandise at the same time.

Just take it easy and you’ll be fine.

Love,

The Philippines

Ganda. You’re suchabetch but ilovette. :D

PS I swear hinde ko alam kung paano sila nag hheels sa beach!
