Book Description
The topics in this book apply to Filipinos in general terms. It is not meant to stereotype Filipinos, and should not be construed in any way as truth for all Filipinos. Everyone is unique, and certainly your Filipina (Pinay) girlfriend's response to a situation would vary depending on where she was raised (city or province/country side) and how she was raised. Hopefully, this book will ease the culture shock you might have in visiting a country that is different from your own, and help you understand your girlfriend's background, and why she acts, talks, and responds the way she does.Some topics include short anecdotes from the authors' personal experiences.50 Things Topics:The Country 1) Island Living 2) Hot or Not 3) Filipino English 4) Country of Extremes 5) Religion 6) Transportation 7) Organized Chaos 8) CurrencyThe Culture 9) Pasalubong10) Game On11) Holidays and Fiestas12) Christmas13) Hospitality14) Superstition15) Pouty Point16) Language Nuances17) Balikbayan Box18) Smile, you're on camera19) Eyebrows Up20) Teasing21) Talk of the Town22) Will you Marry Me23) Small Talk24) Hello, Eat25) Romantics at Heart26) Bro-mance27) Karaoke28) Laugh Out Loud29) Rich and Famous30) Price of Fame31) Whitening Stuff32) Birthday Treat33) Conservative34) PDA35) Bless36) Loud Voice37) Confrontation38) Filipino Time39) Filipino Food40) Gratitude to Parents41) Bayanihan42) PamamanhikanThe Girl43) Soap Opera44) He said, She said45) Single Living with Parents46) YayaSome Things to Consider47) Real Filipina48) Street Food49) Bottled Water50) Plug-in Ready

Book Description
Filipino Americans are projected to become the largest Asian American population by 2010. As the second largest immigrant group in the country, there are approximately 3 million documented and undocumented Filipino Americans in the US. Filipino Americans are unique in many ways. They are descendants of the Philippines, a country that was colonized by Spain for over three centuries and by the US for almost 50 years. They are the only ethnic group that has been categorized as Asian American, Pacific Islander, Hispanic, and even as their own separate ethnicity. Because of diverse phenotypes, they are often perceived as being Asian, Latino, multiracial, and others. And contrary to the Model Minority Myth, Filipino Americans have experienced several health, psychological, and educational disparities, including lower college graduation rates and higher levels of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, teen pregnancy, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, depression, and suicide. Despite these disparaging statistics, Filipino Americans have made significant contributions to the US, ever since their first arrivals in October 1587- from their involvement in the United Farmworkers Movement to their roles in hip-hop culture and their presence in medicine, education, and the arts. However, Filipino Americans have also been referred to as the "Forgotten Asian Americans" because of their invisibility in mainstream media, academia, and politics. Filipino American Psychology: A Collection of Personal Narratives offers an intimate look at the lives of Filipino Americans through stories involving ethnic identity, colonial mentality, cultural conflicts, and experiences with gender, sexual orientation, and multiraciality. Writers courageously address how they cope with mental health issues- including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and suicide. Theories and concepts from the book's predecessor, Filipino American Psychology: A Handbook of Theory, Research, and Clinical Practice can be applied through the voices of a diverse collection of Filipino Americans.

Book Description
From spectacular deaths in a drag musical to competing futures in a call center, Filipino Time examines how contracted service labor performed by Filipinos in the Philippines, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States generates vital affects, multiple networks, and other lifeworlds as much as it disrupts and dislocates human relations. Affective labor and time are re-articulated in a capacious archive of storytelling about the Filipino labor diaspora in fiction, musical performance, ethnography, and documentary film. Exploring these cultural practices, Filipino Time traces other ways of sensing, making sense of, and feeling time with others, by weaving narratives of place and belonging out of the hostile but habitable textures of labortime. Migrant subjects harness time and the imagination in their creative, life making capacities to make communal worlds out of one steeped in the temporalities and logics of capital.
