1. You are freezing and it 75 degrees outside.
2. Your speech is marked with expressions like, "I'll have a fepsi" and "My dog has pleas."
3. It doesn't bother you to walk into a bar with a P.C. standing outside with a loaded gun.
4. You think a luxury hotel is one with a seat on the toilet.
5. You think a hot water faucet is a decoration.
6. You tie a gecko to your bedpost to control mosquitoes.
7. You think 50 pesos is alot of money. Hey! It was a lot of money! - Buzz
8. Stateside beer tastes funny.
9. You don't answer to "Joe" and your name is Joe.
10. You get a roll of 50 centavo pieces so the jeepney drivers can't keep the change.
11. No matter how drunk you get, San Miguel beer still taste good.
12. "Mag beer muna tayo" is your favorite commercial.
13. You think a superhighway is a two-laner.
14. You can eat balut without throwing up.
15. You think of retiring here (there) because you like the place and it's really cheap.
