wala lang... drama ulit...

hindi ko kasi alam ang buong kanta, at wala ang lyrics nito sa net unless hindi lang talaga ako marunong maghanap... pero kinapa ko ang lyrics na ito mula sa youtube... :D

pasensya na kung puro na lang hapon ang nilalagay ko... wala na kasi akong mailagay na gawa ng pinoy eh... hindi naman sa sawa na ako sa OPM... pero pag nakita mo ang translations nito (either sa Music Station mismo, or maghanap ka ng marunong mag hapon), makikita mo ang talinhaga ng kanilang lyrics (naks! talinhaga!)... hehe..

The Wit of Pinoys...

Nury Vittachi - THE FAR EASTERN ECONOMIC REVIEW


This week, we shall take a "reading tour" of one of the most spirited
communities in Asia . The Philippines is full of word play. The local
accent among many Filipinos, in which English words with "F" are
spelled and pronounced with the sound of "P" and V is pronounced as
"B" (because the Philippine alphabet has no letters F or V), is often
used very cleverly, such as, the sign in a flower shop in Diliman
called Petal Attraction.

Much of the word play in the Philippines is deliberate with retailers
and various businesses favouring a play on names of Western
establishments and celebrities (Americans, in particular-- -movie
stars and entertainment personalities, especially). For example, there
is a bread shop in Manila called Anita Bakery, a 24-hour restaurant
called Doris Day and Night, a garment shop called Elizabeth Tailoring,
and a barber shop called Felix The Cut.

Reader Robert Harland also spotted a bakery named Bread Pitt, and a
Makati fast-food place selling "maruya" (banana fritters) called
Maruya Carey. Then, there are Christopher Plumbing, and a boutique
called The Way We Wear ; a video rental shop called Leon King Video
Rental; a restaurant in the Cainta district of Rizal called Caintacky
Fried Chicken, a local burger restaurant called Mang Donald's, a
doughnut shop called MacDonuts , a shop selling "lumpia" (egg roll) in
Makati called Wrap and Roll, and two butcher shops called Meating
Place and Meatropolis .

Smart travellers can decipher what may look like baffling signs to
unaccustomed foreigners by simply sounding out the "Taglish" (the
Philippine version of English words spelled and pronounced with a
heavy Filipino accent), such as, at a restaurant menu in Cebu : "We
hab sopdrink in can an in batol" [translation: We have soft drinks in
can and in bottle]. Then, there is a sewing accessories shop called
Bids And Pises [translation: Beads and Pieces --or-- Bits and Pieces].

There are also many signs with either badly chosen or misspelled
words, but they are usually so entertaining that it would be a mistake
to "correct" them. A reader named Antonio "Tonyboy" Ramon T. Ongsiako,
(now there's a truly Filipino name), contributed the following
interesting Philippine signs and advertisements:

In a restaurant in Baguio City (the "summer capital" of the
Philippines ): "Wanted: Boy Waitress"; on a highway in Pampanga: "We
Make Modern Antique Furniture ;" on the window of a photography shop
in Cabanatuan : "We Shoot You While You Wait;" and on the glass front
of a cafe in Panay Avenue in Manila : "Wanted: Waiter, Cashier, Washier."

Some of the notices can even give a wrong impression, such as, a shoe
store in Pangasinan which has a sign saying: "We Sell Imported Robber
Shoes" (these could be the "sneakiest" sneakers); and a rental
property sign in Jaro, Iloilo reads: "House For Rent, Fully Furnaced"
(it must really be hot inside)!

Occasionally, one could come across signs that are truly unique--if
not altogether odd. Reader Gunilla Edlund submitted a sign that she
saw at the ticket booth in the ferry pier in Davao City in southern
Philippines , which said: "Adults: 1 peso; Child: 50 centavos;
Cadavers: fare subject to negotiation. "

European tourists may also be intrigued to discover two competing
shops selling hopia (a Chinese pastry) called Holland Hopia and Poland
Hopia, which are owned and operated by two local Chinese
entrepreneurs, Mr. Ho and Mr. Po respectively- -(believe it or not)!

According to Manila businessman, Tonyboy Ongsiako, there is so much
wit in the Philippines because ". . .we are a country where a good
sense of humour is needed to survive. We have a 24-hour comedy show
here called the government and a huge reserve of comedians made up
mostly of politicians and retiring actors.

Dahil Wala pa rin ang Bond 007...

Nais kong humingi ng paumanhin sa mga na-galit sa akin dahil ako ang naglagay ng unang kanta sa bond ng naka-hapon... sinundan man ito ni kuya Sonny, nilagyan naman niya ng translations after... ako kasi hanggang ngayon hindi pa...

may dahilan kasi ako doon... minsan kasi binabasa niya ang bond... at marami na rin ang nakakakilala sa akin doon... shy pa naman ako kaya gusto ko parang hidden message ang laman ng post ko na yun... buti na lang si kuya Sonny lang ang may pinaka-malapit na alam sa nilagay ko... hehe...

tama na yan...

maglalagay ulit ako ng lyrics na naka-hapon...

Ang mga palpak na Engineer... (Bow)

Oo... alam ko may mga engineer na nagbabasa ng blog ko o di kaya ay tulad ko na future engineer... kung hindi man ay Mapuan ka kaya parang engineer ka na rin...

anyway... bakit yan ang title ko?? simple lang... ikukwento ko muna ang nangyari... :D





April 30, 2007... pumunta ako at ng mom ko ng NAIA Centinnial Airport para sunduin ang kapatid ko na galing Japan... dumaan kami sa may C5 para maka-iwas sa EDSA...

Sarap na sarap ako sa biyahe ko dahil hindi masama ang traffic... gumagalaw naman kahit sa mga lugar na usually mabagal... 12:30 na noon at hindi pa ako nakakapag-tanghalian kaya dumaan kami sa jollibee para mag drive-thru... pag-akyat ng tulay, nakita na namin ang Pasig City area... tuloy-tuloy lang kami... dumating na kami sa may Pasig Bridge... sa umpisa okay lang ang daloy ng traffic kaya sabi ng mom ko akyat na lang kami... nung pababa na, hindi ko napansin na masyado akong nakatingin sa dulo at hindi sa harapan ko... nung sinabi ng mom ko na mabilis, nilakasan ko ang preno dahil muntik na namin mabangga ang nasa harap na Altis... muntik lang dahil malaki pa naman ang agwat namin para ako ay makapag-diskarte kung sakaling tumigil siya ng hindi oras... tuloy-tuloy na kami at malapit na sa kalayaan ave., nang tumigil ako, biglang lumabas ang isang MMDA at tinawag ako... ang sabi niya sa akin, "tumingin ka sa likod mo... diba ikaw lang ang gumalaw? tingin ka sa taas, may stop light doon, naka-pula tapos ikaw lang ang gumalaw..." PU!@#$%^&*!!!! HINDI LANG AKO BEATING THE RED LIGHT!!! TALAGANG GUMALAW AKO SA RED LIGHT!!! HINDI KO AGAD NA KITA ANG STOPLIGHT DAHIL HINAHARANGAN SIYA NG ISANG OVERPASS!!! naki-usap kami sa MMDA kasi nagmamadali kami at may narating naman kami na "USAPAN"... nang paalis na kami, nagtanong nanay ko kung saan pwede ireklamo ang stop light na nagtatago... ang sabi ng MMDA, "ireklamo niyo ho iyan sa Engineering namin... sila ang naglagay niyan diyan eh"...

Ayan, Engineer daw ang dahilan kung bakit hindi makita ang stop light... matanong ko lang, tama ba na gawan ng stop light ang isang U-turn slot?? kasi stop light ng isang U-turn slot ang nagtatago sa likod ng overpass eh... at isa pa, kaya raw may MMDA doon kasi marami raw ang hindi nakakakita ng stop light... baka raw ma-aksidente ang mga tao... ma-aksidente o makukurakot?? either way, nandoon si manong upang maningil, kunin ang lisensya, at sabihing mag-seminar ka doon sa kanila...

Bahalanar... (Future) Chemical Engineer ako kaya hindi ko kasalanan ang maglagay ng stop light sa likod ng overpass... on the other hand, mabait naman si manong MMDA kasi binalaan pa niya kami doon sa mga iba pang nagtatagong stop light, at hindi niya siningil ang nanay ko dahil wala siyang seatbelt... hehehe
