Pinoy pop legends

Just a few hours ago I met some new friends , one of them was Ha, Chris Ha who turns out to be the son of the founder of kowloon. The Guy who invented the Jumbo Pao! Now that was something cool. My friend mike brought along 2 other friends coz i was teaching photoshop , what were the odds of meeting Chris. OK its not as if I met the inventor itself pero what are the odds. So ano ngayon eh di pag nameet ko ang mayari ng northpark at hapchan eh blablog ko din? Well ang difference is Kowloon for me ay angat na to pop culture legend status. Since 70s pa yun at dinadayo talaga siopao nila. Naimbento nila ang jumbo pao! Actually , im hoping my titas and dad got this story right, ang yaya ko non (nax sossy may yaya) ay kapatid naman ng nagimbento ng ube cake. Every birthday ko dadalhan ako ng ube cake from lola luring , ang labandera / yaya ng mga lola ko, which turns out eh inimbento ng kapatid ni lola luring. As the story goes binenta ng kapatid nya ang recipe sa merced bakeshop. trivia yan.

So ano pa ba ang mga sinasabi kong original pop culture legends natin? Andyan ang: (correct me if im wrong)

1. Spadril
2. Tapsilog
3. Pares
4. Sisig
5. Jeepney
6. Ocho ocho at spaghetti (eto madali lang pero 20 yrs from now parang kakaiba pag nakilala mo bigla si lito camo)
7. ang term na bahala na si batman
8. Chibug burger ng dudes steakhouse (shameless plug)
9. Boneless bangus
10. ... ano pa nga ba?

of course marami like pearl shake , shawarma, etc pero tong mga to naman eh imported na kinopya lang so popculture icons yan kaso ginaya lang. Para maging original pop culture icon ang product mo for me, dapat it has to be deeply rooted na sa mga pinoy na akala natin hunders of years ng meron and part of our history na pero hindi pala plus of course invention nga. it would be cool kung malist ang mga yon tapos ma track down ang mga inventors...

Eto yung mga bagay na
