Just a sweet Smile can help!

I can tell that we Filipinos luv to smile, you'll see us smilling to everyone even we have bad days or whatever. The other thing is friendly. I was in Department store together with my sister. I saw this li'l guy like he is only 5 years old together with his Mom choosing sneaker for this boy, i was sitting and looking around suddenly this boy standing infront of me that make me shock! and then he smiled at me says "Hi" and i replied "Hello". After that he seated at me and then stand up and run to get at her Mom who keep looking those sneakers. I grab my cam and asked him if i can took a picture he smile and say YES!. see even kids here are friendly enough to say hi for those strangers. Thanks li'l guy.

Just be with Kids

Kids in my coutry are funny enough to talk to strangers specially if they think that your holding a camera. They love camera so much, that you dont need to say something to let them understand what you gonna do. Here's a li'l boy in the party. Like other kids he is playing with them, saw me taking pictures with them he run and asked me what is it? i said a camera, he replied can u take me a picture?hahaha i was SURE! why not. Here he pose and with a hand on?haha really silly boy. Anyway you expect kids here to say Hi to foreigners even not a foreigner. So just smile them back they will love it.
