  4. You deliberately flaunt your pager and cellphone [No way. Don’t wanna flaunt my phone uii. Ma.snatch pa lang. tsk2x.]
  5. You find dried-up morsels or rice stuck to your shirt
  6. You check labels on clothes to see where it’s made
  7. You hang your clothes out to dry

Your car chirps like a bird or plays a tune in reverse
You have a rosary on your car rear view mirror
Your car horn can make three or more different sounds

You own a Mercedes Benz and call it a ‘Chedeng’
Your car has curb feelers on it
You have a fake banana display attached to your car window
You own a huge van conversion
You do not try to avoid pedestrians
A traffic cop says “your license expired eight years ago”
A road sign that says “Dangerous curve, Death toll 19” causes you to make another accident
For you a yellow light means ” go paster
A traffic cop is known to you as a “crocodile
You refer to a female driver as a “lesbian
You insist on fitting 8 people into a taxi, much to the distress of the driver, and say, ‘we’re making ‘kandong’
