- – - Free Haircut December 26, 2007
Posted by janargy in Lessons in Life.trackback
There was this good old barber in a city in the United States . One day a florist went to him for a haircut. After the cut, he wanted to pay the barber but the barber replied, “I don’t accept money from you. I’m doing community service.” The florist was happy and left the barbershop.
The next morning when the barber opened his shop, there was a “thank you” card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.
The following day, a policeman went for a haircut and he also wanted to pay the barber after the cut. But the barber replied, “I don’t accept money from you. I’m doing community service.” The cop was happy and left the barbershop.
The next morning when the barber opened his shop, there is a “thank you” card and a dozen freshly baked donuts waiting at his door.
On the third day, a Filipino software engineer went for a haircut. He also wanted to pay the barber. But the barber also replied,” I’m sorry. I don’t accept money from you. I’m doing community service.” The Filipino software engineer was happy and left.
The following morning when the barber opened his shop, he had a big surprise! Guess what he found!

hahhahahah! nptwa ako dun ha…
…hehehe…gnun bah tlga taung mga Filipino???lageng umaasa sa libre???maybe some…but not all…xmpre khit papanu my pride prin tau…lalo na kung nsa ibng lugar tau… prang npakainsenctive nman nten….
hahaha… kita mo nga nman ang pinoy,, khit san mo dalhin pilipino pa rin,, well let just say na isa yan sa mga katangian ng pilipino minsan.. maxadong nag tatakeadvantage..
hahahahahaha.nka2tawa aman.hehe.pero nka2lungkot din…nature na talaga ng pilipino mging abusado……
hehehehe….
super natawa akoh don huh…infairness tama tlg un nasa nature n ng filipino mahilig sa free…jowk…
haha.. aus un ah! mag Filipino tlga oh
hahaha..nakakatuwa talaga ang mga barbero..hehehe
LOL.
nga naman, tinatanong pa ba yun?! pilipino nga naman..
hehe, siguro inalam lang ng isang dosenang pilipino kung KWENTONG BARBERO lang yun..
huh..har har..i thought ung engineer would give sumthing in return..like connected bout s computer..mybe there were Filipinos n umaasa lagi sa libre..one factor is poverty and laziness…but I do believe n there were lots of Filipinos n mababait and very kind…proven yan last saturday..feb.02, that kuya made me realized n marmi p ding mga Pilipino ang hndang tumulong kahit di mo kilala…(“,)
i already know the answer kasi kap[ag Filipino talagfa abuso… kaya lalong humihirap ang bansa… anong koneksyon????
yaN poh ang pagiging orig ng piNoy! the essence of being a filipino..hehe..
kayA nga proud ako’t naging pilipino koh eh..
hehe..
Kala ko may ibibigay din ung engineer s barber….anyway…khit ganun ung situation sa article..di nman poh lahat ng Fiipino ganun…kac mdmi n rin ako nameet n di abuso…2lad ko…hehehehehe
wahaha.
why do a lot of you guys asking kung ganun ba tayo? you could answer it, filipino ka diba?bakit abusado ka ba? i hate it when someone is making a story para laitin ang mga filipino samantalang filipino din naman siya. is he abusado at oportunista? i know there’s reality. pero maaring baguhin ang reality and that could start by uplifting yourself instead na laitin mo ang pagiging pilipino mo.
hahahaha!! nice one.. spread the good news!!
naalala ko yung homily nung pari sa misa(na huling inatendan ko)
hahaha!!
haha! mga pilipino tlga.. kulit ha.. sir, read the january,2008 issue ng fhm, bar room jokes..but i guess nbasa nyo n un..jeje!
let’s not look at it as a negative attitude of Filipinos..haleerr..pinoy ka rin,agree ako kay katie,.ibig mu bang sabihin abusado ka rin?!well ako i can say i’m not..ndi lang maan tau ang ganyan eh..madami pa..ndi lang natin alam,or nid natin nakikita..pero ndi lang tau..
the truth is we are in a “ME” generation..aminin man natin o hindi we’re living in a world na ang motto sa buhay eh..”What is yours is mine” at “What is mine is mine”..we dont have to degrade those pipol na selfish..kc deep inside us,pare-pareho lang taung gusto eh makinabang..hays..
sana magbago ang ikot ng madayang mundo..(Emo??!!hehe..)
cno b tatangi sa libre…pero kelangan din ntn mgsumikap para sa ating srili at sa kapwa.wg lng tau umasa sa iba…
as they say old habits die hard
i got it!
who does not want free? free service?
it’s good that the filipino brought many filipinos in the shop. why
1. he did not kept the good news!
2. he shared the blessing!
3. he had helped the man who is doing the haircut to think of its real motive.
4. being real was displayed by the filipino, not pretending
5.he made a difference!
-think about these!
whew!daming sinabe???sus!!!in short,,,kaw na mging pinoy?mhilig sa libre….hahaha
jejeje,,,ugaLi n b tLaga ng mga pinoy un,,,HHmppp,,,basta Libre tinatangkiLik tLaga,,,,san k p,,,,

syempre nman … mhilig ang mga filipino sa libre…!!! ku aqoh din nman ang andun i grab ko ang opportunity n mguptan ng libre!!!!! mbaba na ang dolyar ei!!!!!!!!wla lng!!!
harhar infairness nkakatawa xa.. cnu b ayaw ng libre
lol
hahaha ang mga filipino talaga oh??
kahit kelan ang hilig sa libre..basta libre sige lang at nagsama pa?? ahahA sa bagay libre nga naman un sayang naman diba?? bakit naman sasayangin kung kibre naman hehehe tsaka na surprise ung barbero eh .. ibig sabihin talagang gusto nya na may nagpapagupit talag sa kanya ..
favorite q to!!! hehe. . .
i agree. . . pero sana man lang binigyan nya ng candy. . . nag tawag pa rhhh. . .
-abusado?!
-umaasa sa libre?!
-nagtatake advantage?!
-insensitive?!
huh!!!!
y do most people always tend to look on the negative side?!!!
ang tawag dun pagiging “PRACTICAL!”
wen oppurtunity comes grab it!
Talagang ganyan tayong mga pinoy….hehehe…kung ako yon dadalhin ko lahat ng kamag anak ko…saan ka pa libre na nga eh mag iinarte ka pa ba…..?hehehe
eh di wala!!!! mga noypi pa KAPAL ng MUKHA!!! HAHAHAHAH
xempre pinoy yan eh!!
nagiging practical lng!
ang mga pinoy talaga… tsktsk…
..LOL..filipino eh..pero proud pa din ako bilang pinoy..
filipino’s nature??? to grab oppurtunities..
d ko nahulaan ion ah…
mga filipino talaga….
ang bibilis pag libre!!!
haha
hahaha!!!pinoy nga naman…nagustuhan q toh…
paglibre talaga,,xempre go tau jan…
kala ko, may supot ng chicharong bulaklak at isang basket ng danggit! wow!sarap!
got it..
so funny wahhahaha!!
once a pilipino it is still a filipino..
wahahah! mga pilipino nga nmn! wla man lng thank u! haha! hay, iba tlga pag libre! mas masarap tlga pg libre! proud to be pinoy!
ganun b tayong mga pinoy??!!
bsta ako hndi…
…hindi ko pgkakalat n libre gupit!!! joke!!!
syempre bbwi dn ako s barbero…
poor filipino!
it takes one to know one lol
hahaha!!!! 22o lang mali ung hula ko….
peo, totoo ung story… ang mga pilipino kasi ay may motto na: masamang tumanggi sa grasya.. (dba, ndi lang sa pagkain un inaapply???) kaya kahit ano basta’t libre go lang ng go, then, without knowing that we exceed to much on the limitation that we should be… kaya madalas maxadong naaabusado ang mga taong mababait… tama naman dba?!)
Well thats more on a practical side.mahirap na humanap ng libre ngayon,maybe thats our way of appreciating there talent that they are sharing to us..KAHIT LIBRE KUNG DI NAMAN SATISFIED WALA DING WENTA..Quality first before Quantity
hahahaha . . ganyan ang pinoy!
gusto lagi ng free!
mapa pagkain man yan!
talagang kinkareer!
hehehe
anohhhhhhhh ba yan….
ganun nb tlga pinoy ngaunnnnnnnnnn…
sabagay libre nga nmn.tsktsktsk
hehehe Filipino tlga basta libre…
Pro kng ako un..
magssma dn ako
aBa LIBRE yata yun noh…
hndi pnplmpas yun!
sabeh ko na nga ba eh!
Pilipino tlga hanggat me free pipila yan kahet hanggang middle east pa yan!
alam ko na ‘tong kwento na ‘to… pero ganyan talaga ang pinoy pag libre kahit pa sabihing may pinag-aralan siya.. gaya ng nangyari samin sa manila hotel.. hahaha…
best things in life is libre…. read bakit baliktad magbasa…. by bob ong (ugali ng pinoy, nakakainis marinig ang katulad nito dba, pero hindi dahil negative dahil yun ang totoo) Gumising tayp Pinoy!!
hahahahaha! cool..
filipinos enjoy libre stuffs..
but we should learn din naman to work for ourselves.. =)
hahahaha,, LOL!!!
iba talaga magisip pinoy ahhh,,,pero minsan kalokohan eh,, anyway, we have to accept the criticisms of others, admit it but then learn to think in a manner that those criticism is just one avenue of learning….. hah?
hahahaa… pinoy nga naman… syempre masarap ang libre eh…
HAHAHAHA!!!! ang kulet..
mga pinoy nga nmn o,,,
gs2 libre..harhar
peo kc nga db?
mas msarap pag libre
bwahahahahaha
tama nga ang mga plipino mahilig sa libre
pero it doesnt mean na abusado tayo , hehe
sayang nga naman ang pera , libre naman eh .
anu kakabasa ko lang ne2 sa isa sa mga libro ni “bob ong” yung “”bakit baliktad magbasa ng libro ang mga pinoy”. heheheh! coincident lang kaya yun?
true, thats funny.. pero rather than laugh we have to ba ashame if thats the reality.. maybe were just laughing in some of our culture defects.. we have to do something bout it.. i believe we can still change… there still hope.. piz.. : )
just what i thought so.. hah! funny! if you some serious stories bout barbers, you can approach me.
pnoy kasi hahahahahahaha, pero indi naman cguro ganun lage
hahaha…
pinoy talaga oh,basta libre ang bilis ntin.,
khit nasa ibng lugar n,dala p dn pagka Filipino.,
hehehe…
mga kwentong barbero ni sir jan.. atleast we made the work of that barber worthwhile, service from the heart
hehe,,gnun,,mga pinoy nga namn tlga ohw,,mhileg s free,,
hahahaha!!!
hula ko din yun ang sagot eh.pero cguro tama lng din naman yung ginawa ng kababayan ntin since sinabi nga nung barbero na he’s doing community service eh!
hai…nku ang mga pilipino tlga..
abusado…
tsk tsk tsk..
_haha.. pinoy talaga ang hilig sa libre!!
tired of all these stereotyping!!!
“ganun tlga!’
can’t we change this?!!!
ang galing talaga ng pinoy!!! basta libre pinapatulan…hehehehe…sabi nga nila the best things in life are free…wahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Ano b yan? ang mga pilipino talga…
imbis na magbigay ng sukli sa kabutihang loob ng tao. ai, naku! naghanap pa ng kasama. akala q naman magbibigay sya ng electric gadgets for haircutting.
minsan ko nang narinig ang storyang ito…
pero namamangha parin talaga ako sa ugaling ito ng mga pinoy… ugali nga ba o paraan makatipid?
…i’ve read this somewhere before…..
ohhhh…from bob ong………
……..well,….this is just a means of survival but sometimes survival is overlooked by honor.
hayz…Filipino talaga…
nakatatak na ata sa salitang FILIPINO ang mahilig sa libre…
kahit saan ka man basta libre in ang mga Filipino…
syempre da ako magmamalinis dahil kasama ako jan…jejeje
naku mga pinoy talaga….bukas at bukas din pipila ako jan,pero pwede bang rebond>>>???hihihihi
parang nkrelate kme ni maude ah..bwahahaha..the best things in life are LIBRE..haha..
hehehe…
kulit!!!!
sa bagay.. sabi nga ng iba masarap ang libre!!!hehehehe
Although stories of this kind somehow make us laugh, come to think of it, sometimes it degrades our race. The word Filipino according to ZTE-scandal star-witness Jun Lozada, pertains not only to one family, it refers to one country. Just the same, the word Filipino cannot be attached only to those who were abusive but also to those who worked hard each and every day in and out of the country in every imaginable jobs in order to give decent life to their families.
this story is such a reality story and no one can say that this really not happens in Filipinos where in fact abusado talaga ang Filipino, nakakalingkot mang isipin natural na abusado ang mga Pilipino
..its just that Filipino thinks differently..hahaha.. oha oha! Praktikal lang..pero hindi naman sana abusado..hehehe
We Filipinos are known to be really generous… at least… we share our blessings…
..hahaha sbi n nga ba.. nbasa kuh n tu ehh.. quite funny kya lng as a Filipino.. di ko mgawang tumawa ng super knowing n negative un conotation s Filipino.. bUT lets admit n totoo un dB..??? kay sna mtanggaL n s culture nten ung mga ganung behavior.. am panget eh.. Sna nxt tym.. we can read sumthing like… after mgpahaircut the next day.. 12 Filipino pipol are waiting to help d barber do the same service ng walang bayad…??!! aparisyon lng b tong naiisip ko?? pero i know kya nten bguhin un.. mggaling tau eh tska helpful..!
hahahaha..this article is funny… but the implication or the message is not…we filipinos must really change some of our attitude…but still im proud to be a filipino
hehe..pwede din..ganun tlga mabilis ang balita kapag libre..hehe ^__^
hahahaha!!!! kakatawa nman…. Noyping Noypi ah!!!!!
hahahah… hahahahahah. wla akong msabi.. pilipino nga nmn tlga.. basta libre d pahuhuli. hahaha ^_^
I thought the story would be in the lines of themes like “do your best and God will take care of the rest” or something abt “…the good samaritan and the golden bebe from the ‘pinoy software engineer”…but at the end it was all abt “A Filipino”…laughs…laughs…so who would probably say that Filipinos encountered problem like identity crisis?well in fact we are so distinct.And that we have our own identity and it would definitely mark the faces of the world.And someone would just end up saying,the Filipinos are coming…
share your blessings nga eh.. hahahaha.. tsaka the best things in life are free.. abusado nga lng tayo minsan… hehehe..
hahahahahahahahahahahaha…..
PILIPINO TALAGA..BASTA LIBRE SUGOD NA AGAD!!!
Gnun nmann tkga ang pinoy eh………..sbi nga ni mahatma ghandi eh,,,,one of the seven sins in our world . “PLEASURE WITHOUT CONSCIENCE.”
hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
bang! bang!
woooohhhhhhh!!
sabog…
tsk tsk tsk… share the good news.. lets look at the story on the brighter side…
haha
that the filipino. Maximizing the profit
ganyan katipid ang mga pinoy
tipid tlga nten…hehe!!
nk2tuwa naman..
very funny.. though nakakahiya, but we filipinos are not maramot.. free nya nkuha yung blessing that’s why he wanted every filipino to enjoy the same blessing he got.. how sweet no?? hahahahaha
joke joke joke…
yun pala ang punchline ng istorya…
oo nga naman, pilpino nga talaga…
siguro, simple nga lang joke ang istorya, pero para sa akin, maraming katangiang pilipino ang pinalitaw ng istorya…
na totoong natutuwa ang marami lalo na pag binibigay na libre ang isang bagay, ika nga ng iba, charity, kaya walang hinihinging kapalit na salapi… at para sa isang pilipino na sabik sa mga ganitong pagkakataon, sasamantalahin talaga nila ang pagkakataon na makinabang…
mabilis kumalat ang tsismis pagsdating sa pinoy… siyempre, dadami nga ba naman ang makaaalam na pinoy sa istorya, kung hindi ipinagkalat ng unang pinoy na nagpagupit… tsk tsk tsk…
at isa siguro sa mga pinakanegatibong paglalarawan ng istorya, hindi marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob ang ilang pilipino…
hahahaY…
we always have those kind of jokes…
and jokes are half lies half truth..
and even half meant..ahm!!!
we(filipinos) are even half
and half of the many halves…
maybe that is why we are half-baked?ngek!
ehehe…ganun ba talga ang mga pinoy…abusado?
hindi naman cguro…
filipinos love free things.. sinong bang may ayaw sa libre?wlang masama sa libre mas maganda nang pumunta sa mga may libreng bagay kesa gumawa ng masama or magnakaw..
anyweiz i love my hair cut.. tsaruz..
bakit po sila andun????????????????????????????? ang labo parang balabbo.
sabi ko na nga ba eh!
(Some) Filipinos are kinds that are opportunists! hehehe
Kita mo talaga ang Pilipino na once may bagong malaman, kakalat agad. Mahilig sa mura or libre… Hindi na nakakapagtaka un, makikita naman siya in reality, pero as i said and theory, there is this truth, behind the existing reality. hehehe
.., d lng nmn pinoy an ganyan!
as if nmn..
@ kng mr0n man, un iba Lang…
, d xa nka2tuwa.
-®ai

well, i see it funny and weird na we make fun of ourselves..
quite insulting,,lets just strive harder…CHANGE daw..haha..malay nio..^_^
IBA TALAGA ANG PINOY!!! Hehe mahilig sa libre…kapag na laman na may free tiyak pipilahan…syempre bawas nga naman ito sa gastusin…lalo na’t kapag nagtatrabaho sa ibang bansa…imbes na thank you card at magbigay ng flowers at donuts gastos pa un noh, dozen Filipinos na gusto mag avail ng free haircuts ang handog share ung blessings ika nga…kawawang barbero…wag po kaung mag- alala tiyak na higit pa sa isang dosenang pasasalamat ang makukuha mo…hehe iba talaga ang pinoy para makatipid resourceful talaga…

txt msg… 
lessons realized:
first,, we Filipinos really know how to grab good opportuinities… (heheh! wais!)
second,, we Filipinos are really ‘maaalalahanin sa kapwa’… (share your blessings…)
*just look at the positives nah lng kc…
*
Ok… Pero hindi discrimination to para sa mga filipino abroad?
But we all know na minsan ganyan ang mga pinoy, di panggugulang tawag dun kundi abilidad at kapatiran naman sa parte ng mga pilipino…
ahhh… okay… baka sobrang ganda lang nung haircut… maraming natuwang pinoy… haha…
prang nka-emphasize na mahilig sa libre ang mga pinoy..
naman…
hahahaha! aus 2 sir,.,, old Filipino humor… but still worth the laugh…
~BinmaR™
this is not a negative trait of the pinoys for me, we just wanted to share goodwill to our countrymen… hekhek…
however, i stand firm, not all pinoys are abusive… di kaya,, minsan lng..
I copy paste this article without the answer. After reading it, I thought the Filipino will bring all the kababayans or his relatives, ahehhe.. If ever I’m right yehey! But if not, ahh ok.. ahehe..
After reading the answer, wahaahha! tama nga ako! wahahah! oh well, it is one of the bad practices of Filipino. Ewan ko b kung bkit ganun cla..
dis is rili great… u know wat.. i hope someday makapagsulat ako ng gntokgandang article… u inspired me
hahaha i’ve read the same passage on one of bob ong’s books. can’t quite remember which one.
siguro, mxado lang kuripot mga pinoy. kung san makakatipid, dun kakapit
the story portrays one of the character traits of some (i am not inluding all) filipinos…. whenever there is a free taste, free trial, or anything free in the mall or in the park, one can see that there is a long line of Filipinos in there…. maybe it has been the culture and tradition of some of us….
ang cute nun ah,
kaya lang parang nanghihinayang ako sa ending, pero kung joke iyon,!
masasabi ko na maswerte tayong mga pilipino sa mga ganung bagay, pero sana naman huwag taong maging abuso.
pero nakakatuwa yung software engineer na nagpagupit dahil halos ipinaalam na niya may mga tao pa palang may ganung kalooban.
,sa hirap ng buhay natin ngaun eh kjelngan nating maging praktikal hahah!!!
am….sino ba na bang ayaw ng libre….but i only shows that filipinos must learn to appreciate things that is been given at wag abusuhin…….maraming ganyan sa mall…..ung mga free taste
…si sir talaga joker..,gandan n nang banat mo kaso sa dulo panira…hehehe…alpha kapal muks…
…ayos ‘tong article n ‘to…
…sana my barber shop na tulad nun d2…
…mahilig lang talaga sa LIBRE ang nga noypi…
ganon b tlaga tau?? hayy asa s libre..but i know naman if taung mga plpino 2mulong, it’s from d bottom of our heart. but just d same, let’s just be our selves.
ganun ba naman kaoportunista ang mga pilipino??
ayan, gnyn tlaga tau minsan…
nsa ugali n ata ntng mga pilipino yn eh.
tma sir. sna mrmi mkbasa n2 pra matauhn nmn tau
