#71 It's More Fun in the Philippines
One of the best tourism promotional slogan I've heard is this, "It's More Fun in the Philippines". Ofcourse as a natural born Filipino citizen I am very proud of my roots and culture. I have said before on my previous article that Filipinos are very hospitable for both local and tourists. This heart warming attitude brings goodvibes to the whole country.
Even though our country (Philippines) faces many challenges in life and economic crisis, it's people do still find a reason to put a smile on their faces. We cannot avoid any problems but we can bring smile to anyone's face. Being poor may give sadness to every family but it didn't took away from the Filipino people to learn how to be grateful in what they have.
To live life in a simple way and never expect too much would help in achieving a contentment and peace of mind. It doesn't mean that we stopped from dreaming higher rather it is an acceptance of what opportunity do fit to us.
As I see kids smiling in the midst of their family's problem, I said to myself that why do these kids finds happiness despite of having a problems in life. Maybe they are not yet aware of how difficult to live and survive in this world. Or maybe they still find a hope.

It is pretty amazing to us "Filipinos" that we always find a reason to be happy despite of those hardships we are facing daily. We may not be called as the happiest people on earth but maybe we are one of the Happiest country to visit too.
