Wise Pinay Wears Plastic Bag in HK Vacation instead of Buying 40HKD Poncho
While on a vacation with friends in Hong Kong, Angelie Janelle Orleans needed to buy a poncho to protect her clothes from getting while in a water ride at Ocean Park Hong Kong. Instead of buying the expensive poncho, however, she chose to wear a plastic bag – and her unique outfit quickly went viral.
Angelie’s friend Jerwyn Buenaventura shared the photo on his Facebook account, with a clever caption that referred to fashion magazines’ way of asking stars who they were wearing, with ‘who’ meaning the designer who created their outfits.

The post was captioned:
Who are you wearing today?
Angelie Janelle Orleans: Henry Sy
People in the Philippines know that Henry Sy is not a designer but actually the owner of the SM malls empire. He’s also the richest man in the country and has been listed among the richest people in the world on Forbes Magazine.
Angelie’s outfit was rather hilarious, with the green SM plastic bag cut at the bottom so it would create a makeshift shirt. But the neon green color rather clashed with her red track pants and the ‘SM hypermarket’ mark in the middle gave away the fact that the ‘shirt’ was actually just a plastic bag from the mall’s grocery store.

According to Jerwyn, they were queuing for The Rapids ride in Ocean Park Hong Kong but were afraid of getting their outfits wet. They had the option to buy the poncho but Angelie found a plastic bag she thought would make a good shirt. She initially thought of wrapping her shoes inside the plastic bag before changing her mind to create the unique OOTD.
Jerwyn later shared that the plastic bag did it job and actually lasted throughout the ride. While she didn’t have the coolest outfit for the ride, considering that she saved 40HKD (US$5.10 or PHP270.85) for the poncho, many called her clever.
Would you choose to buy the poncho or can you pull this one off?

Husband Fails to Get Flowers for Wedding Anniversary, Buys Land for Wife
A husband failed to get flowers for their wedding anniversary but still went viral after choosing to buy land for his wife to grow flowers, instead.
Land versus flowers? We’ll also take the land, please. LOL
Husband Buys Land for Wife on Wedding Anniversary
It is every wife’s secret wish to receive a gift from her husband on their wedding anniversary or during other important moments of their lives together.
Not everyone gets to receive those gifts, of course.
While many husbands are unable to buy gifts out of poverty or because they have other, much more important priorities, there are also who do have the money but just don’t like giving gifts.
Some women might say that they wish their husbands would just get them flowers for their wedding anniversary.
Recently, a guy named Kael John Canoy made waves on social media after publicly admitting that he wasn’t able to give his wife flowers on their first anniversary! Uh-oh…
Is he going to be in big trouble?
Well, not really.
It turned out that he wasn’t being thoughtless or had forgotten the date. Instead, he had other plans for his family.
Canoy would soon go viral after explaining in his post that while he failed to get her flowers on their first wedding anniversary, he was making it up with an entire land where she can grow all the flowers she wants to have. Awwww.

Would you rather receive the land than flowers?
Well, considering that the land is going to last forever, and you can plant all the flowers you do want to have, then we’re all voting for land, too.
Buying Land and Other Real Estate in the Philippines
Buying real estate can be tricky in the Philippines, especially because many are still under a so-called “mother title” or a title still under the name of the seller’s ancestors.
To avoid issues, try to only buy land that already has a “clean title” (under the seller’s name or just one signatory).
Getting lots from a reputable real estate broker or under a property developer might also be a good idea.

But one lucky mom recently went viral for the extravagant gift she received from her husband in the form of a money bouquet worth Php1 million!
The lucky mom, Roviedelia Soriano – Villena, shared that her husband actually pranked her before giving the money bouquet.


In fact, he acted like something was wrong and didn’t even sleep next to her the previous night. Instead, he purposefully put their baby in the middle, declaring some sort of silent war that she felt worried about.
Throughout the following morning, he never greeted her at all or offered her even a small bouquet of flowers.


She was close to crying in the afternoon when he called up at around 1PM to tell her that they were having dinner somewhere.
So, she felt appeased. She thought that even if she didn’t receive any gift, at least she can still feel somewhat special on Mother’s Day.

When initially felt angry when she saw the “flowers” that she thought resembled a “corona” (funeral flower arrangement), but that anger turned to happiness upon seeing that it was actually a money bouquet! Wow.
It was truly an impressive surprise gift.

Prayer before Meals? Photo of Kneeling Customers of Roadside Carinderia Goes Viral
A photo of kneeling customers at a roadside carinderia goes viral, with many netizens joking that these “religious” buyers are already praying before their meal. LOL
Photo of Roadside Carinderia’s Kneeling Customers Goes Viral
In the Philippines, carinderias are a popular place for finding affordable, budget-friendly meals.
They’re usually small stalls with simple dining sets where people can dine for much less than what you’d normally get billed at a restaurant.
Carinderias themselves can still be considered a restaurant, but they’re a toned down version with much cheaper rates. You can even order “takeout” meals that they’ll usually put inside plastic roll bags instead of a Styrofoam or cardboard box you might expect from a regular restaurant.
And while carinderias aren’t usually the subject of a viral post, one recently gained social media fame after some customers have been photographed kneeling while taking their order.
Now, we forgot to mention that many carinderias have a loyal customer base of people who often go there on a regular basis. Many of them might be workers or students in the area. Other carinderias also have nearby residents as regular customers.

So, it isn’t surprising that when a carinderia was affected by a new road made several feet above the old one, the loyal customers kept coming back to the their favorite food source.
The only difference is that now they have to adjust and kneel down so they can check the food items being offered by the carinderia.
A photo of the said carinderia, credited to Facebook user Casper Correche, was shared on Facebook page “Calbayognon.” In the post, the page identified the carideria to be somewhere in Calbayog, Samar.
The page joked that the three guys seen in the photo were ordering one more serving of adobong manok before ending it with an “Amen.” It’s like they’re already done praying before they get to eat their meal.
How Road Widening Affects People in the Philippines
There are lots of great benefits to road widening:
- Better roads
- Wider roads that can accommodate more cars
- Less traffic
However, road widening can also some negative effects:
- Roadside houses and establishments might be included in the expansion
- Some of these buildings can also become lower than the road level, leading to various issues (and the owners don’t usually get compensation to change their houses so they can be at road level again)
