13 - UBE (Ultimate Bonding Experience)


"U.B.E." is a term used by the youth today. U.B.E., which means, the "Ultimate Bonding Experience," refers to family or friends hanging out, going someplace to go to the mall or party or whatever they want to do.
Filipinos were so conservative back then, but now, Filipinos are becoming more and more liberated by the minute. Back in the old days, whenever the sun would go down, it would be quiet. Literally. People are going to bed, people are tired and all. But now, people sleep in the morning and go party in the evening. They go to bars and clubs to dance and have a "good time." This is the new "UBE." They would go drink beers and get wasted. This is the new past time. However, for families, the mall is the place to be. Not many people go to outdoors. Gone are the days when families go to parks, go biking, etc. Now, families go to the mall and watch movies, stroll, buy things, eat and splurge on things. The "bondness" is gone because there is no interaction when families watch a movie at the mall, no one talks, it's just them and the person on the screen. It's very frustrating. Maybe because this is a result of man's materialistic wants. Is this the new UBE?

About the picture that ive just seen, its really true about the "U.B.E" thing because back then it was really conservative and all that stuff. Well today lots of things modernize so we must not be in shock if also the Filipino culture have changed because all things now had changed what more to people right? And lets be REAL!! And although the bonding experience nowadays have gone because of so much entertainment goin on these days, we can still have that bonding moments if we really want to. Nothing is impossible!!
