TATAK PINOY!!!! filipinism

I just came across this article while surfing the world wide web!

ONLI PINOYS HAVE IT!!!!!


These are the words that are so unique and loaded in meaning that they will never find a direct translation in the English language.

Forget traditional dictionaries. Keep this.

1. Achuchu (A-chu-chu).
This refers to the pointless insincerities being said
during long, involved conversations about nothing at all.

2. Ano (A-noh)
The all-around, all-purpose word for everything.

(1) Pronoun in interrogation: Ano? (What)
(2) Noun: Where is your ano? (Where is
your father/mother/dead-uncle's-second-cousin)
(3) Verb: Anuhin this.
(Paint/kill/maim/castrate this.)
(4) Adjective: This is so ano. (This is so
pretty/big/astounding.)
(5) Interjection: Ano! (What the hell!)
(6) Substitute for genitalia: Did you ano
your ano?

The use of ano is quite dangerous for the untrained ear,
and must be put into the proper setting.
"Honey, the ano is too long, we have to cut it," must be
accompanied by the proper understanding of the context, as results may be critical to a couple's future.

3. Booba (boo-bah).
A female blessed with larger than usual mammary glands,
which can be used as weapons of mass destruction.

4. Checheboreche (Che-che-boh-re-che)
Same as achuchu. It is interesting to ponder on the reason
why there are so many words in the Filipino language
that beautifully describe meaningless chatter.

5. Epal (Eh-pal).
An individual who believes he is God.

6. Gigil (gee-gil).
An uncontrollable desire to bite something.

7. Hipon (Hee-pon).
Literally "shrimp," whose body is eaten while its head is
thrown away, this refers to a female whose body is to die for
and whose face looks like it belongs to the dead.

8. Kikay (kee-kay).
Refers to individuals who carry a brush, hand wash,
moisturizer, lip-gloss and various other facial enhancements in a case
(aptly called a kikay kit) inside her bag.
Recent inspections of various backpacks have led to the conclusion it is not a purely female trait.
This breed cannot resist checking themselves out on mirrors,
glass windows, bread knives, sidewalk puddles and
plastic-covered notebooks.

9. Kaekekan (Ka-ek-e-kahn)
Same as achuchu and chechebureche.

10. Kilig (keel-leg).
A rush of excitement due to the actions, presence
or even mention of he whom you see as the future father of
your children.

11. Laglag-panti (lag-lag-pan-tee).
A man so incredibly hot, so heart-stoppingly gorgeous
and oozing with masculinity that female underwear
(whether worn by males or females) falls to the ground
without effort whatsoever.

12. Laglag-brip (lag-lag-brip).
The female counterpart of laglag-panti


13. Indyanero (In-jan-neh-ro).
An individual who fails to appear at anappointment
without prior warning. Not to be confused with individuals
who appear according to Filipino time
(approximately 10 minutes before the meeting is to end)

14. Japorms (Jah-porms).
Describes an individual dressed differently
from the usual (typically involves clothes
that have been laundered and pant legs of roughly the same
length).

15. Lagot (Lah-got)
A prophesy of evil things to come.

16. Para (Pah-rah).
A term that informs the driver of a jeep to stop
and pause (usually in the middle of the road)
as the individual speaking intends to leave the vehicle.
Dangerous for individuals as drivers seem to believe
having one foot in the air is all that is necessary for
descent.

17. Takusa (Ta-kuh-sa).
Derived from takot sa asawa (afraid of wife),
this is a term used to describe the silent (very silent)
minority of males married to feminine reincarnations of
Hitler.

18. Torpe (tore-peh).

A gentleman who is desperately attracted to a female yet by some strange compulsion is reduced to a frozen mound of stuttering male whenever that female is near.



Armed with this list and a smile, you will be sure to make the proper impression not just on your new relations, but on your loved one as well. Now let's practice:

"Honey, when I first saw you,
I made laglag brip, and was almost torpe.
When I finally got the nerve to date you,
I almost became indyanero,
because I didn't think I had the right japorms.
When you're around, I'm kilig, when you're not, I get gigil.
You may think all this is achuchu, kaekekan, just checheboreche,
but in truth, my love, I'm so ano with you."

naisip ko lang... KAYO ANO SA PALAGAY NIYO?

"it's kind of a spiritual snobbery to say you are happy when you don't have money. 'Coz poor people can't just help it and don't realize the happiness money could give."

Medyo totoo. Medyo mali. Depende naman siguro sa paningin ng tao kung san siya sasaya. Merong sobrang materialistic, meron namang sakto lang... pero materialistic pa rin. Pero parang totoo naman di ba? Yung iba ineenjoy na lang kasi alam nilang hindi naman sila yayaman, pero umaasa -- positibo lang talaga sila. Kaya nga siguro naglipana ang mga one-day millionaire kasi bibihira lang makatikim ng ginhawa sa buhay -- "aray!" hahahahahaha!

Ewan ko... kayo??? ano sa palagay niyo?

be proud you are a teacher, the future depends on you!

Mag-aalas dos na ng madaling araw at kakatapos ko lang gumawa ng limang sets ng exam para sa friday, Tinapos ko na ngayung wednesday pa lang (pero technically thursday na kasi madaling araw na e) para maabisuhan ko na kung sino man ang substitute teacher sa mga klaseng maiiwan ko sa viernes habang naglalakwatsa ako sa Maynila.

Ansakit sa ulong isipin na pinagpupuyatan ko ang bagay na paghihirapan din ng iba. Naisip ko na nga rin minsang dayain na lang ang exam at hulaan na lang ang grade na pwedeng ibigay sa kanila.Pero hindi. Ayoko namang lokohin ang sarili ko kapalit ng baryang ibinabayad saken ng eskwelahan. Ngayun ko naisip na ang hirap pala ng buhay nila Ma'm Bore ng Biology nung High school, sir balois ng soc sci., Ma'am Rucan ng PE, Ma'am Daduya at Figueroa ng English at Ma'am Sidon ng Filipino. Isama mo na rin ang buhay ni Ma'am Escudero at Michelle Mendoza. Pota, ang hirap maging isang guro! At ang kapalit ng pagbibigay ng exam ay isang malinis na papel na hindi man lang napatakan ng tinta ng bolpen maliban sa pangalang isinulat na minsa'y missing in action pa. Di ko lubos maisip na yung papel na pinagsulatan ng exam ay dudumihan lang at sasagutan ng mali-mali o kung mas malas at wala talagang mapiga, ibabalik na ang papel after 10 seconds na ma-scan ng estudyante at magkamot ng ulo.

Bakit pa kasi word processed ang exam na ginawa ko e di naman kame required sa school na mag-encode pa. Tamang hand-written questionnaire lang tabla tabla na raw. E ayoko ng ganun, nagpapalakad nga ako ng papel e. At ang ink ng printer ko mistulang naghihingalo na dahil nagbubuga na ito ng red at black ink sa papel. Parang Pugita lang. Bakit ko nga ba kelangan pang pahirapan sarili ko e hindi ko naman pakikinabangan kung may natutunan man sila sa akin o wala. Mas matutuwa pa nga siguro ako kung wala silang natutunan. Sa gayun, mas magiging madali para sa mga Pinoy ang makipagsabayan. Pota, mukhang mahirap pa rin. Kasi kung wala naman sila, kawawa rin ang iba, malamang ang iba sa amin tumatanggap na ng labada sa mga oras na ito.

Be proud you are a teacher, the FUTURE of KOREA depends on you! -- asteg!!!! Tulog na ako. Baka Di ko pa mapacheck sa bisor ko bukas ang mga exam papers ko pag na-late ako!

I'm working behind closed doors.Don

I've got a strong personality and cocky aura, but please don't misjudge me. I ain't working in there to compete with everyone. If there's someone I'm competing with and someone I want to win over, that's me, not anyone else. If you think I'm a kiss-ass, you're wrong, I have some devilish ways to break some rules. I just know when to meet my tasks and do my dues. No one is above anyone. You're words and prejudices might just thrown into waste coz I only got one way to vent it out, THIS! I wont fight you back coz I'm working behind closed doors, just like everybody else. Don't waste too much of your time talking about me, you're just adding a feather on my hat. You're just pushing me so hard to do better, and the next thing you'll know is that your heads are on my plate. To those people who wanted verbal-war, I won't buy it. That's too cheap to consider. If students like the way I teach, don't tell them I ain't good. Coz you're jsut confusing yourself the standard of what is good and what is not. Mind your own business. My style is something you can't change. The way I dress is something I dont bear to prove that I had gained so much confidence from the places I've been to or from the places I worked in. I never missed to become a kind-hearted neophyte in this craft. I have reached out to those who raised their eyebrows at me. I have shared my smile to a lot. I can only do so much, what about you? what can you do?

I'm working behind closed doors.
