Filipino Time 

Share definition Flag
Filipino Time, which means things get done whenever they get done. Official Timing of The Phillipines.
I set up a party for 6:00. This is interpretted as 7:00 filipino time.

In some cases, filipino hosts deliberately set the time an hour or so earlier, knowing that the guests will arrive an hour or so late. In this case, the poor americans are surprised to see that they're the first ones to arrive and the only ones there for the first hour or so.

Filipino Time 

Share definition Flag
An excuse for arriving anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours late to any party, meeting, or hanging out. Only exclusive to Filipinos, this is the standard time any Filipino will arrive to. Many people of other races hate it, because most of them will arrive on the marked time.
Jack: Dude, where's Nick?
Paul: Oh, he's on Filipino time. Expect him in a few minutes to a few hours.

- a few hours later -

Nick: Sup guys!
Jack: Dude, WTF? Why are you so late?
Nick: Filipino time.

When Filipinos arrive to a party two to four hours late because they hate to be the first ones there. If you have Caucasian friends, they will most likely disregard "Filipino Time" and arrive at the set time.
The party started a while ago, but with Filipino Time, I don't expect guests to come for another two hours.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
