One of the guys at work (let's call him Mike) is Filipino American. I liked talking to him about Manila and the Philippines. This week I made him a mix CD of some of my favorite and varied artists from my iTunes playlists - Sandwich, Joey Ayala, Cynthia Alexander, Noel Cabangon, Yeng Constantino, etc...
One of the maintenance guys at work (a young guy - let's call him Bonifacio) is actually from Pasig. He is very shy, and never talked to me until the day I brought the CD for Mike. Apparently he noticed it on the desk, and suddenly he made a point of saying hello and calling me by name and smiling.
I mentioned to Mike "Wow, Bonifacio is coming out of his shell" - and Mike said "That's because he found out your Filipino." He said it completely seriously. I didn't know what to say, but I went back to my desk and smiled to myself.
