All Chinese, Korean and Japanese guys? What about ones with large eyes who look more SEA or Filipino? So someone like Marcos is too 'oriental' for you? FYI Filipinos are also 'oriental' and just as Asian as those other 3. Don't pretend you're somehow genetically more European because of a smattering of Spanish blood.
Marcos I think has some Chinese ancestry.
It depends on the Filipino. Eyes are very important to me as well as built.
yeah, you'll notice from the music video of Thalia how many 'ng' there hehe
She actually heard this song on the radio when she came in the Philippines and then asked about the lyrics
of the song because she likes it. I guess she likes the melody, some foreigner like the melody & felt the emotions to it and it doesn't have spanish loanwords it is all plain tagalog. some Filipino ethnic songs too.
I guess it is easy for foreigners to learn tagalog. In tagalog, the words are all pronounced so it is easy to learn it. I think the hard part are those ones that are repeated like " nakiki".

It is easy to learn it than oriental language if the person is somewhere in middle eastern or elsewhere. like here a foreigner singing in Bisaya, Filipino ethnic languages is actually easy for them to learn. These 2 singers love Filipino Songs.
English Translation by Sophia Lorene:
I.
Forgetting you is not easy.
Until now I'm still waiting
For our yesterday to come back
Even if you've already forgotten me.
Chorus:
Even if you have someone else now
You're still the one I love
Even if I'll only get hurt
As long as you're happy, I'll accept everything
II.
I see your situation now
It's really different when you were with me
In his side you're so happy
And here I am hoping for you to come back
Bridge:
Until now I'm still hoping
That time will come that you'll come back
Yeah I have always liked Europe because of castles and palaces ( I am still like a kid who likes kings, queens and princesses). I don't like so much modern architecture so I don't have so much interest to see countries with skyscraper buildings. Colonial ? Well I don't have so much interest to see the USA.
Latin America ? I would like to see the pyramid in Mexico, Machu Picchu in Peru and Argentina to see if it is really another Paris.
Each of us have our own preference for people we are attracted to, I am sure there are many Filipinos who aren't attracted to Chinese, Korean or Japanese guys too. I was referring to orientals, not referring to my fellow Filipinos or to Pakistanis.

I've heard some Filipino songs like Sarah Geronimo's songs and Ronnie Liang's songs and they remind me with Indonesian songs a lot. But it sounds different from Indonesian when being spoken.

it sounds like you don't use any other vowels but the A, talk non stop without a real pause and occasionally an English words pops in with an American like accent
example:
pakalataka manata taatalata nata three hundred beautiful walana kataata ratapa anabak

Quite true
I loathe using or hearing English words in the middle. I always try to say everything in Filipino.
Compared to Cebuano, it seems like Tagalog has more syllables with "g" sounds and their words/sentences seem lengthier (more syllables).
example:
English: "Good morning."
Tagalog: "Magandang umaga."
Cebuano: "Maayong buntag."
