halloween pictures

Scene 1: While walking inside Robinsons Galleria towards the dept store we passed by the Halloween display of Toys are Us with the sales person in his Halloween costume.

Me: Ate, I want a picture with Mr. Halloween Guy.
Sis: Ok ok, go. Oh no, you’re a Christian and you support Halloween.
Me: (laughing) yeah right, it’s a pagan celebration… but why did you take a picture of me inside that giant pumpkin in SM Makati yesterday?
Sis: Coz, it’s a fruit. (laughing)
Me: Yeah, and its not Halloween Guy right?... (laughing)

Scene 2: Inside Bestseller National Bookstore in Robinsons Galleria while waiting for my sister’s friend, the two of us were taking pictures of each other. I posed with the books then picked up WITCH.

Sis: Ahh, because I didn’t allow you to have a picture with the Halloween guy, you’d rather have a picture with WITCH..

(Both laughed)

borrowed words?

article = artikěl

uncle = ankěl

sparkle = sparkěl

google = googěl

single = singěl

these are just some english words that are commonly mispronounced by Tagalog speaking Pinoys...

two months ago, while hanging with a friend in Robinsons Galeria, my friend suddenly gave a comment about how the tagalog speaking pinoys pronounced these words and how he disagreed with it. it is just so wrong as what he said but he can do nothing but just follow it or he will sound funny...

actually i have noticed this a long long time ago... i believe most Visayans noticed how Tagalogs pronounced these words... we would actually laugh at it.. sorry, no offense meant here, ok?...
it just that during my PS days, i heard somebody talked in straight english but pronounced the word google as googěl... it actually rang into my ears... it gave a big question mark in my face... made me think what is so wrong with this guy?... hahahaha.. its just that its a little acceptable if he was talking in tagalog... oh come on, we're expected to pronounce it correctly coz we work in an industry where English is the only means of communication and also we are college graduates.. duh!... :D

neweiz, i noticed another thing why Visayans speak english well...

its because when Visayans utter english terms they think of it as an english word while Talagalogs, when they utter an english term (speacially those i mentioned above) they still think of it as another tagalog term.. borrowed words, i guess... lol


neweiz, here is another example to this....



i just think that it sound awkward... its I'm Sing-guhl not Im Sing-gěl.... duh!... lol

few things i hate in mIRC

I usually park in mIRC every time I feel bored with the net… when I have nothing else to check in my friendster and myspace… well, I just park in mIRC and wait if somebody will throw me a Hi!… hahaaha

Neweiz, I noticed a chatting pattern in mIRC..

Its like, first is the hi-hello thingy, then knowing the ASL.. then, asking if your still studying, knowing the course and what’s next?… “Do you have friendster?… or Got friendster?.. duh, this lines sometimes irritates me… I don’t know.. but we haven’t even talked a lot… then they already ask for friendster… we even havn’t got any topic… duh… and after getting each others friendster, nothing will come next…

And what irritates me more than this is some IRC people pm you and just ask for friendster… hello, im not collecting friends on my friendster list… I only add people I know… although I also add people I know from the net or mIRC, at least I know a few background of them.. hahaha…

Neweiz, I don’t really give my friendster account to people who are just collecting friends…

And to be honest… people who don’t know URL sometimes irritates me… there is one time that I was chatting in mIRC and this guy was asking my friendster so I gave him my URL… and he told me im a liar coz it wasn’t my friendster.. hahahah.. he copied my friendster URL and paste in the search box… hahahah… that was supposed to be ok, telling him to just click the URL isn’t hard but he was being mean… waaaaahhhhhh

Another thing that I hate in mIRC is the people who ask me if im still a virgin… HELLO!… of course I am.. im a Christian… I value virginity… and I believe that sex is gift from God for married couple… I don’t really tolerate those people… I hate it when, you already got a topic and suddenly the guy on the other end asks about sex… I don’t think it is polite… if it we were only talking face to face, I could have slapped those guys… and what irritates me more than that, are the people who pm you and ask for sex… HELLO again!… im in a community chatroom... we are not in cybersex chatroom/channel… neweiz, usually tell them that they got the wrong girl and then, ignore them…

And oh, I hate it when they ask me for topic… I don’t know.. why don’t they just let it flow… talk about anything… why I really hate it?.. its because usually when they ask you for topic, they meant the topic to be sex… I don’t really think it’s polite to ask about that… ask if you have tried it and if your still a virgin… (close ta? waaaahhh) we don’t even know each other… and you are asking me those things… I’ could have slapped you if we were talking face to face… I need respect.. ok?… again, Im a virgin.. Im a Christian and I value virginity… Sex is a God given gift for married couple only..

Actually im in mIRC right now… and yes, there goes the pattern again.. waaaaahhhh

note: this is from my friendster blog posted Feb 10, 2007

Why Visayan Speaks English Well

i was hanging in Glorieta with my co-trainee when he asked me if we Visayan/Bisaya are really trained or are really use to speak english...

and that question reminds me when my sister's officemate asked her the same question... her officemate also noticed that a lot of Bisaya speaks english well...

i dont really know why but i guess maybe because most bisaya feel awkward when speaking tagalog... maybe because of their accent... they sound funny when they speak tagalog... plus their friends usually would banter at them when they start talking in tagalog...
most bisaya would rather speak english than tagalog...

lucky for me coz i get compliments when i speak tagalog... they said i don't sound bisaya... my co-trainee was even a little astonished when i told her Im bisaya...

P.S.
the way tagalog speakers try to copy the way Visayan speaks tagalog isnt really how Visayan sound when they speak tagalog... gets?.. lol

what time is it?

Somebody asked me once:

Miss, may cellphone ka?... anong oras nah?...

wow..

before: people asked for the time if you own a watch

now: people will also asked you for the time if you own a cellphone

Not too Late for Sudoku Craze

My first ever sudoku is from a Star Mag of Jan 2007.

It was actually my big brother who got me into this... He was browsing the mag and then asked me if I know how to solve a sudoku… I haven’t really tried it before… im not one of those who got into the sudoku craze back in 2007… but I told him, maybe I should try it now, and check if my IQ result is for real… lol..

So there I was solving the sudoku while attending the sari-sari store my big bro owned… I don’t know, I think I started solving it at the time of Pinoy Big Brother (what time does PBB starts?) and finally solved it at almost eleven.. whew... what a noob… lol

(don’t mind the more difficult.. started solving it the next day..with so many interruptions I didn’t finished it, instead I tried solving the crossword puzzle.. lol)

Anyway, I noticed there is something wrong… I think the categories of the sudoku should use same adjective… so if they want to use the adjective “easy”, then the categories will be easy and easier or if they want to use “difficult” then it should be just difficult and more difficult… but think it will be safe to use easy and difficult… Why make it complicated, right?.. duh!... lol..

Well, there must be some reason the ed used those terms… J

NO summer in the Philippines

summer!... summer!... summer!...

Just noticed that a lot of Filipinos consider this time of the year as summer… yeah, summer is the warmest time of the year but hey, technically there is no summer in the Philippines…

In a tropical country like Philippines, there are only two seasons, the wet/rainy and dry/hot seasons...

Using temperature and rainfall as bases, the climate of the country can be divided into two major seasons: (1) the rainy season, from June to November; and (2) the dry season, from December to May. The dry season may be subdivided further into (a) the cool dry season, from December to February; and (b) the hot dry season, from March to May. (PAGASA)

While America (and other country) has four seasons, summer, winter, fall/autumn and spring… and oh, you should know that summer in America is from June to August (Northern Hemisphere) and December to February (Southern Hemisphere).

Conclusion: vacation time in the Philippines is not summer but hot dry season… ;)

And yeah, that’s the reason why I avoid the term summer… lol
