Ang mabentang joke sa office last week:

Last week nagkaroon ng photoshoot sa office para sa aming ID. Since the company changed its logo, a change of ID went next. Before magpapicture.

Officemate 1: Wow ang galing pwedeng creative shot sa ID.

Officemate2: Oo nga.

Pumasok sa office si Officemate 3 (buntis).

Officemate1: Naku di pala pwede magpapicture ang mga buntis.

Officemate2: Bakit?

Officemate1: Baka kasi makunan.

DB: (Smile lang)

nyeek!

Parang hindi pang ID.... parang pang TV Series lang.

Ang mabentang joke sa class ko:

Kwento ito nung nag-order ako sa isang fastfood chain:

DB: One piece chicken meal.

Cashier: Ok sir, how about your drinks sir?

DB: Coke regular.

Cashier: Anything else sir?

DB: Wala na,

Cashier: Eighty-eight pesos po lahat sir.

Ibinigay ko ang bayad ko P1,000.

Cashier: Sir wala kang smaller bill?

DB: Ah miss sa pagkakaalam ko pare-pareho lang ang laki ng Philippine Peso Bill.

Cashier just smiled.

Nyeek!

 ***

Minsan naman ganito ang eksena:

Cashier: Sir One-hundred two pesos po lahat.

Binigay ko ang P500 bill.

Cashier: Sir may 2 pesos ka?

DB: Miss bakit kulang pa ba?

Cashier just smiled…

Nyahk!!!

Radio

Radio Stations

 

My day in the office is not complete if I don’t listen to music. This habit started when I bought my android phone a month after I started in my present job. It has never been my practice to listen to music while working in the office. I guess I was influenced by the people in office – almost all of my co-workers have headsets and earphones plugged in their ears.

Good thing our department allows us to listen to music while at work. My previous job used to prohibit listening to music in work areas. Eventually the management gave in to the desire of the employees. It did not cause me to celebrate though. Like I said, listening to music has never been a part of my office routine. Add the fact that the announcement was made, when I was about to leave the company.

Things are changed now. I become addicted listening to music while at work. I have a dismal number of songs in my phone that’s why I just tune in to FM radio stations for my music needs.  Again listening to radio is not actually my cup of tea. However, as my stay in the office progresses and as my workload increases, I eventually learned to listen to FM radio. I could not start my day without grabbing my earphones from my drawer and listen to songs being played by radio jocks. I am not an avid fan or follower of any radio station or radio jock. However I learned to appreciate the coolness of radio programs, choices of songs, and side topics discussed by radio DJs.

Speaking of radio DJs, I think being a radio DJ is one of the coolest job – especially to music lovers. I love music but it seems music doesn’t love me (oows). Being a DJ gives someone a chance to play his/her favorite songs, meet various artists both local and international, host various events, share some thoughts with madlang pipol and of course get instant fame. Just like any other jobs, indeed there are pros and cons being a DJ, though I don’t bother to discuss the disadvantages of being a DJ because I am not  a DJ and not in their shoes so to speak.

Being a quasi radio fanatic, I don’t blame myself not having a great dose of information about famous and uprising DJ in town. Though I know a few like Papa Jack, Joe D’ Mango, Chico and Delamar, Mo Twister, Angelicopter, Andi  and the naughty trio of the Boys Night  Out, Tony Toni, Slick Rick and Sam YG.

Going back to my listening regimen, my favorite radio program in the morning is Office Radio of 94.7 Mellow Touch. I like how DJ Angel (who by the way will be transferred to her weekend program, yun oh updated?) and DJ Ingrid manage the program. Their song selection fits well to a typical office atmosphere – songs that are not too loud but good enough to keep you awake. I also enjoyed their topics about office work which I could relate to. Combining right kind of music and topic with my brewed coffee makes sense to me (parang commercial lang). It is a perfect formula to give me the spark for my work. I feel energize both mentally and physically while tuning in to Office Radio. In fact, I am in the zone or should I say on a momentum to accomplish my tasks each time I am listening to this radio program (bolex tama na pabibo kunwari).

When afternoon kicks in, I enjoyed the cool and smooth (swabe pare) acoustic and live sounds being played in The Afternoon Cruise. It reminds me of radio stations of Baguio like K-Lite  and the defunct Smooth Jazz. I feel nostalgic once again of the my dorm days. I remember one time my dormmates called to K-Lite and when they heard their names mentioned by the DJ there was a euphoria and outburst of cheers in their room… big time! I am an acoustic fan which I inherited during college days in Baguio.  I love to hang-out in acoustic bars and coffee shop. Definitely I miss those days (Panagbenga na, Tara na sa Baguio… anyone?). For me there is something in acoustic music especially those pop songs with acoustic renditions. Though I gave up learning playing guitars, still I enjoyed the simplicity of acoustic sounds with plain accompaniment of guitar, percussion and cajon. My craving for acoustic and live sounds is satisfied by the Afternoon Cruise. DJ Ingrid is a perfect cruise directress. Her voice and her life reflections keep me in my senses during my yawning and sleepy moments in the afternoon (especially after lunch busog kasi lols).

And when I extend my stay in the office, I shift frequency and listen to Boys Night Out of Magic 89.9. The naughty trio of Tony Toni, Slick Rick and Sam YG is a complete package. Lately Ramos Bautista (isa pang makulet) is joining the group  in the air. They really  just want to have fun. Behind their wackiest, funniest and “wholesome” image I see how they add value to “man-side” in every relationship story or topic. Most of their topics is still considered as taboo by some. These topics are either pang boytalk lang or even intentionally ignored in gatherings, drinking sessions and hang-outs. But these guys have the guts to discuss on air and let other men and women of this new generation participate. Kudos to these guys!

Radio stories strive each in every one of us. I know all of us have our own share of radio stories to share, especially during our younger days. But as we grow old, we tend to become satisfied in listening to music and forgetting the thrill to make a ring  to radio DJs and request for songs or greet friends and special love ones. In my whole existence, I never tried making a call or request for songs on and off the air though there is still the  urge  lurking deep inside me. Funny thing is, I really though I am done with that.  But with the sudden change of desire to listen to radio again, who knows maybe one day I’ll make a call.

I might even make a call to Papa Jack and ask for his sagad to the bones advice! Hahaha!

So what’s your radio story?

 

 

Working with earphones,

Ang mabentang joke for the week sa office:

Dorm Boy: Alam mo ba kung magkanu ang laman ng ATM Machine?

Officemate: Hindi.

Dorm Boy: Eighty million pre! Ang laki noh?

Officemate: Wheh di nga?

Dorm Boy: Oo pre kaya nga gwardyado kapag kinakargahan ng cash ang ATM Machine.

Officemate: Paano mo nalaman?

Dorm Boy: Kasi di ba pag 30 Million- 30M?

Officemate: Oo

Dorm Boy: Kapag 60 Million naman 60M?

Officemate: Oo (Sabay tango)

Dorm Boy: Eh ang 80 Million?

Officemate: 80M.

Dorm Boy: ATM, 80M di ba?

Officemate: (Laughtrip)

 

Maraming salamat kay Boss Mike sa Epic ATM Joke!

Ideya

Posted by: Dorm Boy

Bakit kaya ganun?

Kung kelan ang dami mong naiisip na magagandang ideya eh sakto namang wala kang mapagsulatan. Ang tanging maaasahan mo lang eh ang memorya mo. Kung kelan namang maluwag ang iyong oras at nakaharap ka sa blankong papel na hindi mo naman mahawakan eh wala kang maisip. Halos pigain mo na ang utak mo pero wala talaga. Naranasan mo na rin ba to?

Ganito ako nitong mga nakaraang buwan. Dati parang walang ka-effort-effort magsulat sa aking blog pero ngayon ewan ko ba. Tinamaan ata ako ng kakaibang pwersa at sadyang tigang ang utak ko sa pag-isip ng magandang paksang isusulat. Blanko ako.

Minsan habang nakasakay ako sa bus pabalik ng Manila naisipan kong magmuni-muni. Inihanda ko ang aking mahiwagang notebook at ballpen. Pinili ko ang upuang malapit sa bintana. Habang nakaupo sa komportableng upuan at pinapakiramdaman ang  malamig na hanging nanggagaling sa aircon ng bus napadungaw ako sa bintana. Pilit kong mangpanggap na isang taong sobrang malalim kung mag-isip habang nilalakbay ng aking mga mata ang bukirin, ang bundok at ang araw na papalubog.  Hinihintay ang sandaling may kakatok sa aking isipan.

Knock-knock!

Who’s there?

Ideyang malufet.

Ideyang malufet who?

Sir san po kayo?

 

Ayala

 

Panira ng moment si Kuyang Konduktor. Tik-tik-tik-tik! Tik-tik-tik! Sabay punit ni Kuyang Konduktor ang orihinal na kopya ng tiket. Agad namang inabot ng aking kanang kamay ang aking butas-butas na tiket.   Nawala ang ideyang malufet. Muli akong dumungaw sa malayo. Pilit kong binalikan ang imahe ng mga kalabaw; mga batang naghahabulan sa gilid ng highway at mga mga taong tambay sa waiting shed. Muli ko na namang  naisip kung gaano kasimple ang buhay sa probinsya na lagi kong iniiwan at binabalik-balikan. Maya-maya pa’y may kumatok ulit na ideya.

Knock- knock!

Who’s there?

Ideyang malufet ulit.

Ideyang malufet ulit who?

 

Sir bayad po.

 

Strike two na si Kuyang Konduktor. Kinapa ko sa aking puwetan (nice ass) at inilabas ang aking wallet. Bumungad sa aking larawan sa Philhealth ID . Ibinigay ko ang limang daan kasama ang isang bente. Sinuklian ako ng dalawang daan. Ngayon mga bata ang tanong magkano ang aking pasahe?

Naging  panatag na aking pag-iisip. Bayad na kasi ako. Wala na akong pagkakautang. Iba talaga ang pakiramdam kapag bayad ka na- may peace of mind. Ugali ko na ang pag-ayus sa aking pag-upo pagkabayad. Sabay pikit ng aking mata para makaidlip ng kaunti. Wala na akong pakialam kung sa aking paligid. Wala na akong pakialam kung sino pa ang aking makatabi pwera na lang kung magandang babae. Dyahe naman kasi kung maabutang tumutulo ang aking laway.  Sa kabutihang palad, walang tumabi sa akin.

Habang nakapikit ang aking mga mata, ang aking isip naman ay parang batang hindi mapakali sa kinauupuan. Mas malikot ang aking pag-iisip kapag ako ay nakapikit. Muli akong naghintay ng ideyang makabuluhan. Hindi ako nabigo unti-unti kong nakita ang aking nakaraan, at ang aking mga pangarap sa buhay. Muling bumalik ang kagustuhang sana hind imaging drawing ang aking pangarap. Sana maging totoo silang lahat.

Knock knock

Who’s there?

Pangarap .

Pangarap who?

 

O  tupeeeeg tuuuuupeeeg tuuuupeeeeg kayo diyan!!!!

Bagong luto tupeeeeeg kayo pasalubong!

 

Tuuuupeeeeg kayo sir?

Younger Looking Skin

There are many simple joys in life. There are some trivial episodes in our life that draw a smile on our face. We smile to small things because we are helpless to ignore them and they tickle our heart. Sometimes the most unforgettable are those unexpected moments.

Lately several occasions brought a smile on my day. For a guy like who is fast approaching the age of thirty (hmmm parang ang aga mo naming magsulat para jan), I am one of those guys who likes to do the “Hulaan Mo Syndrome”. If someone will ask me how old I am, I don’t directly answer their question. Instead,  I will start a guessing game and boyishly smile and say, “Sige Hulaan Mo ilang taon na ako?”

Syempre my heart will jump for joy if I will hear the numbers like… 23 or 24. One time I received an answer like this,

“Hmmm siguro kabatch lang kita, 2008 ako grumaduate sa college eh.”

In all of these events, I will just smile and say… 28 na ako. And as expected I already know all their reactions.

“Wow talaga? Hindi halata, you look so young at your age.”

“That’s a compliment ha ang bata mo sa edad mo.”

“Wow totoy na totoy ka pa ring tignan” (oops wala po gawa-gawa ko lang to).

As I continue my part-time job  teaching in the university, I realized mingling with young students, rub a little youthfulness in me. There was a time when I entered the campus wearing my usual t-shirt and jeans. I checked the room and it was still locked. I asked Manong Guard to open the room. I was shocked when he said,

“Wala naman yung prof mo, bakit mo pinapabukas?”

Napapangiti akong sumagot.

“Hihihi ako po yung prof.”

Syempre natawa rin si Manong Guard. Simula nun naging familiar na ako sa kanya.

There was also another time when I was going to the IT Department to have a snapshot for my Faculty ID. Pasensya na pero weekend kasi ulit nangyari un, so naka t-shirt and jeans lang ulit ako. As I enter the room, I asked the attendant that I was scheduled for pictorial for my ID.

Sumagot si Ate ng half-dedma, “Ok isulat mo pangalan mo, course at year!”

I just replied, Sa Accounting Department ako, member ako ng faculty (syempre tinatago ulit ang ngiti ko hihihi!)

“Ay sorry Sir! Akala ko po kasi studyante kayo. Hindi nyo naman po kasi sinabi agad. Sir dapat po kasi me collar kayo pag-magpapa-ID po kayo. Saka pakisulat po SSS at Tin nyo Sir for the ID.”

Hindi na ako nakapagpa-ID, hindi dahil sa hindi ako nakacollar kundi… nakalimutan ko that day ang SSS number ko.

 

And last week, while teaching sa classroom ko, bigla na lang me kumatok. Another Prof entered and said, “Sorry but I think I already saved this room from Monday to Wednesday.”

“Sir sige po, let’s check kay Sir B (Academic Coordinator) regarding the classroom reservation.”

I went to the faculty room and looked for Sir B, kaso wala sya. Another prof was there in the faculty and about to go. I asked him if he knew where Sir B was. Sabi nya lang baka nasa class. He asked me why I was looking for him, I just said regarding the classroom reservation. Kinuwento ko na me isang prof na nakapagpareserve sa classroom na gamit namin.

Nabigla ulit ako sa sagot nya, “I guess you better ask your Prof regarding the classroom schedule.”

“Ako po ang prof.”

Napangiti na lang ang prof na kausap ko. Saktong sabay pasok ng isa pang prof na naunang nagpareserve ng classroom sabay banggit, “Yes, he’s the prof!”

I admit nakakataba ng puso. I guess namana ko yung genes sa father side ko, wherein aging is a little bit “mabagal”. So as long as I could slow down my aging, allow me to enjoy this period of my life because reality check, lahat naman tayo eh tatanda.

So time will come my youthful looks will fade with time. And to be honest, I am ready for it.

 

Coffeeness

This week is my third week in the new company. New company means new people surrounding me and a brand new environment. Every new in our life is twined with the word adjustment. As of date, I could say I am still on adjusting period- and I am enjoying each day.

Physically speaking, the new office is beyond comparable to my previous one. My previous company just started more than a year ago so all things including the most trivial facility (gaya ng table? lolz) are brand new. Name the thing you see in a typical office and it is new. I admit medyo namimiss ko rin ang kagarbo at mga bagong gamit sa dati kong company. I miss the pantry (yun talaga ang namiss eh noh)! I also miss the two-monitor desktop and softness of the keyboard. I also miss the “ergonometric “ (pardon for the spelling if mali) chair and the large view of the production area. Isama mo na rin ang mga  vendo machines, the free ice tea, lemonade and syempre ang free coffee.

However beyond physical which my naked eyes could see, I treasure naman the intangibles(hmm intangibles talaga) my new office offers. For me it’s still priceless to work in a place where I could be me; around the people who just let me do my task. I also miss the saktong timpla ng camaraderie- not too close to one another but at the same time not too snobbish with one another. Maybe mali ako on this people-related aspect kasi nga like I said earlier I am still on adjusting period. Every day, ginagamay ko pa ang ugali ng bawat isa. Until know I still have some names which I don’t memorize yet. But their faces are now vivid. I can recognize now who’s who when I walked along the lobby or while riding the elevator.

While I miss the pantry of my previous office and the liberty from productivity measurement (yeah!), I couldn’t help myself to crave for the free coffee during the afternoon. Nasanay kasi ako every time I feel sleepy, I walk straight to the pantry and press the button for a hot cup of coffee. Before I sip my coffee, it becomes a habit of mine to smell the aroma of my coffee (hmmm parang adik lang).

Back to present, sira kasi ang coffee machine (hindi sya vendo) sa floor namin, kaya back to timpla mode lahat ng gusting magkape (so primitive hahaha joke lang nadala lang ng commercial ng suka  lol).

Unfortunately, I am one of those coffee drinkers na hindi makuha ang tamang timpla ng kape. Hindi ko makuha ang timplang gusto ko. Hmmm paanu nga ba yung timpla ko, hmmm ganito karaming kape; hmmm ganito karaming teaspoon of creamer and sugar; and a little budbod of cinnamon powder (sorry nadala lang ulit ng commercial).

Hindi ko masabi sa sarili kong, “Kuha mo ha!”sabay ngiti.

Eh sakto one day, bigla sumakit tyan ko. I badly needed to go to CR just to ease the pain and para sumigaw ng  SUCCESSFUL! I don’t want to make “pupu” sa CR sa floor namin. Ayaw ko kasing me makakita sa akin o di kaya maksalubong sa CR at malalamang pupupu ako (Paumanhin pu sa mga kumakain pu). So what I did is I went down to the other floor. To cut the story short I washed my hands (wink wink).

Then as I walked out of the CR, I took a slight glance over the pantry and I couldn’t believe sa nakita ko- ISANG COFEEE MACHINE and wait here it comes……GUMAGANA!!!

Lumaki ang singkit kong mga mata! Finally hindi na ako magtitiis sa three-in-one, sa green tea na sinasawsaw lang sa mainit na tubig (uy pahealthy effect) at sa milk tea. Kaya as I go back to my area, I was no longer thinking about the flowchart I was reading. I was already thinking on how to go down tomorrow to the other floor just to get my precious cup of coffee. Hussle naman if iaakyat ko pa ang red mug from the other floor (sabihin pa nila nangunguha ako ng mug ng ibang floor).

Alam ko na… ittransfer ko na lang sa covered mug ko.

Kaya kanina… I went down to get my first cup of coffee. Then I transferred it to my mug. When I went back to my area, I finally sipped my very first precious coffee na hindi three-in-one.

 

 

“Iba talaga ang timpla ng dinugas na kape!!!!”

 

Burp!!!

After the Food is Gone.

 

I am not fan of eat-all-you-can promos. In fact I don’t even look forward eating in a buffet. However, recently I did have a chance to well “pig-out” in one of the restaurants back in my hometown during Father’s Day. Together with my family, we enjoyed our eating session with a… burp!

I took some pictures during that day, aside from eating like there’s no tomorrow. As I browsed some of the shots, I stopped on the picture of my plate. I remember how empty it was in the beginning, which later turned out to be like a plate of a “monster”.

I guess life is like a big feast, that each and every one of us is invited and has its own plate. And while we hold our plate, we all have different thoughts in our mind: “Ilang beses kaya ako makakabalik?” “Where’s the strategic place?” “Tataba ulit ako netoh!”, “Blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar level, allergies, who cares?”

 Still all our questions can be summarized to:  “how am I going to be satisfied?”

So with this question running inside our head, we then marched and proclaim a war to the all the food our eyes could see. We grab the finest, crunchy looking “balat ng lechon”. We pick-up some friendly fried chicken and “pampa” pata. We balance our takes with some leafy veges and salads (pa-healthy effect). We take turn trying all the “ulam” that ends to letter O- embutido, adobo, menudo, pochero –pahingi ng sayo! Oh by the way this is just the beginning (lol!).

Amidst all the food choices available, we try to fill our plates that we really think would meet our satisfaction. Just like in real life (me pirated life din b?) we also run to things that we think will satisfy us. We want a better of all things- a better education, a better house, gadgets, cars, a better you know… life! Some want to be rich and famous, others get addicted to power and fame and still some of us want more- to the point where in our plates in life become a little platito because of the many wants that we have.

It’s great to aspire for a better life. It’s great to have dreams and ambitions and the drive to become something extraordinary. It is normal to have the cravings for earthly stuffs and to salivate to the comforts the world can offer (Brad tao lang din ako). But we should know when to stop.

 We should know our limit of all these things. Too much of something is not good (of course even too little).  We should observe the thin line separating the feeling of “I have enough” and the feeling of “I want some more”. We should be wary of our limits and not to be driven by our greed.

So if you think your lady spoon misses her porky fork. Pagtabihin mo na sila and say… “I’m done.”

“Busog na ako.”

I feel satisified already.

Pilay Si FC

Pagkagising ko kanina dumiretso agad ako sa kusina. Naghanap ako ng makakain. Malinis ang aming dining table, parang I missed something out. Tapos na yatang kumain mga tao sa amin. Masarap kasing matulog at magbabad sa higaan. Walang iniisip na trabaho. Ganito pala ang buhay-tamad.

 Pagbukas ko ng pinto sa aming likuran, biglang pumasok ang aming pusang si FC (FC kasi Feeling Close sya)- iika-ika. 

Si FC ay anak ng pusang inampun namin tatlong taon na ang nakaraan. Nagkataong malandi ang kanyang butihing ina kaya ayun nabuntis out of wedlock. Tatlong magkakapatid sina FC. Ang lahat ng kanyang mga kapatid eh hindi nakayanan ang buhay pusa kaya nilisan ang mundong ibabaw. Anak sa labas si FC at di na nya nasilayan ang kanyang ama (poor kitten). Lumaki si FC na inakala namin eh girl sya. Pero sa pagdaan ng mga araw at buwan, whatha… hindi sya girl. Hindi rin sya badesa… isa sa syang boy! Me tentacles oops testicles sya.  Lalong tumibay ang hinala naming lalaki sya nung nagka- Adam’s Apple sya, lumalim ang pag meow nya… parang naghahanap ng makaka-laro (naughty grin!). Sa ngayon sa lalim ng boses nya isa sya sa mga maiingay kapag gutom. Minsan maingay din sa pagsapit ng… gabi (naughty grin ulit!).

Kanina pumasok sya sa bahay ng paika-ika. Hmmm mukhang me ginawang kababalaghan si FC kagabi. Mukhang meron nga kasi bago ako natulog me mga narinig akong pusang naglalampungan at naghahabulan at paglaon eh nauwi sa away kagabi. No wonder isa si FC sa mga kasali sa kasiyahan kagabi. Isa kasing “party animal” ang alaga namin. Sadyang habulin ng mga girls. At kagabi napatrobol si FC.

Hindi invited sa loob ng bahay si FC kaya’t no choice sya kundi maghanap ng makakalaro sa labas. Nakakainis ang pusang kagaya ni FC, bukod sa sunod sya ng sunod kahit saan ka man pumunta, eh nakakabanas ang pa-feeling close effect nya sa pagdampi ng katawan nya sa aming mga paa. Pero kanina, naawa ang mga tao sa bahay. Dahil pilay at paika ika ang mokong ayun me free access sya for the day sa loob ng bahay. Mukhang mabenta ang paawa effect nya kayat sinulit ang buong araw, nakahigang parang bossing si FC sa sala while watching DVD. Me popcorn at soda rin sya sa tabi. Habang nakatutok sa kanya ang electric fan.  

Pero kahit na pilay akalain mo makakita lang sya ng naglalakad ayun sabay tayo at takbo agad- paika-ika. Kahit paika-ika walang pagod syang sumunod-sunod sa lahat ng naglalakad. Ganun ba talaga kapag me gusto kang gawin? Parang si FC hindi nya mapigilan ang pagsunod sa gusto at layaw ng kanyang katawan. Masaya sya sa pagsunod, pagtalon at pagsunod ulit sa sino mang makita nyang naglalakad kahit na masakit ang kanyang paa.  Sa makatuwid isa syang adik!

Marahil me gusto lang ipahiwatig ang pusang eto. Siguro nga gusto lang nya ipahiwatig na kahit anong mangyari kagaya nya kelangan nating sundin kung ano talaga ang gusto nating gawin. Huwag indahin ang anumang magiging sagabal sa pagsunod sa kasiyahan. Mapa sakit man o eto o ewan always follow what makes you smile. Sabagay iisa lang ang buhay natin kaya’t gawin na natin ang kung ano mang makakapagpasaya sa atin.

Simple lang naman kung tutuusin ang buhay. Kung ano makakapagpasaya sa iyo gawin mo. Kung nasaan ang puso mo… nandun ka rin dapat kasi pag hindi… patay ka na kapag nagkataon. Mahirap mawalay sa puso.

So FC salamat sa simpleng message mo. Next time tuturuan na lang kitang magtext para di mo na kelangan mag-enarte to get your message.  Regarding pala sa pagkapilay mo… buti nga sa yo (joke lang, fish tayo!). Pagaling ka at nang maresbakan mo me sala sayo!

 

(Habang sinusulat ko to, nakatingin sa akin si FC… requesting for more popcorn and soda… with ice!)

 

 

Si FC (a.k.a. Feeling Close)

Philosophy 101

Last week my officemates/friends in the office/barkada/ enjoyed reading the Question and Answer blog article I wrote. My siblings from different mothers  (yeah I like it!) finally read my blog and I could say they laughed and drew killer smiles on their faces because they knew they answered weird (oops sabi sa mga comments normal pa daw, so we are still normal). They already know who Dorm Boy (ehem ehem) is and it is already an open secret in our group (me secret pa palang open). Siguro time to change a name na (lol!). Hmmm siguro kasi di na ako boy (kasi girl na este Man na! Hoy pare joke lang yun ha! Pakiss nga! Eeew!).

So going back to my story as usual they demand for more (more practice in writing?) and they wanted me to write a list of funny question and answers and they will contribute if they encounter a new question and answer portion. Inuutusan na nila ako ngayon! Imagine after I made them laugh heto at nagdedemand na sila?  Then I heard another suggestion (Oo ate Charo para akong suggestion box, na hinuhulugan ng suggestion letters, sana naging donation box na lang para me cash pa!), one of my friends said I should write how we love the subject Philosophy.   Why Philosophy?

Philosophy originated from two Greek words:  Lilo and Stitch meaning to travel and play around (hehehe joke lang).  Philosophy comes from Philo and Sophia. Philo meaning “pagmamahal”and Sophia means “karunungan”. Put them together equals “I LAB U Sophia” este “Pagmamahal sa Katarungan”. Hmm ang HOPIA kaya san galing? Homo at Sophia, Homo means tao right?( ang galing galing ko talaga!)  And well Sophia you guys know  her already because of me! So HOPIA  means “Taong may Karunungan”, in English it means  “A Man of Wisdom”.  So if you want to be wise, eat Hopia!

Going back to my kwento (hay I am konyo ulet), I believe tama yung friend ko, magagaling kami sa philosophy kasi halos lahat kami Pilosopo! May pilosopong kulot, matangkad na pilosopo, me matsing na pilosopo, me pilosopong antukin, at marami pa kaming pilosopong kasama na nagtatago sa kamay ng batas, yung mga hindi makapasok sa opisina kasi me police mobile sa labas ng bahay nila. Kami ay mga naglalakihang pilosopo na puro kapilosopohan ang dumadaloy sa dugo. Tipong kung sumagot kami ay papilosopo in nature. This is one of the reasons why we enjoy long conversation over breakfast, brunch (breakfast-lunch), lunch, merner (meryenda- dinner), dinner, midnight snacks (syempre nag-oovernight kami sa office, that’s how alcoholic we are).  We do talk about politics and showbiz from time to time pero madalas ang topic namin eh kung saan maglalaro si Lebron James. Inuulan ng kapilosopohan ang aming usapan sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay. When it rains it pours ika nga so, eto  I will share some of the pilosopo moments namin:

Sa pagyaya for lunch:

Friend 23: San tayo kakain?

Friend 19: Sa plato.

 

 

Friend 90: Ano kakainin natin?

Friend 56: Pagkain

 

Friend 9:   Kakain ka pa ba?

Friend 10: Oo naman if I will not eat anymore, I will die.

 

 

Sa mga inuman:

 

Friend 69: Pare balita ko di ka na umiinom?

Friend 88: Naku pre maling balita yan, if I no longer drink, I will die as well. Mamamatay ako sa uhaw!

 

Usapan kung saan ang meeting place:

 

Friend 3: Guys san tayo magkikita-kita?

All: (In chorus) Sa mata!

 

Regarding sa mga kotse at pagsundo:

 

Friend 45: Pre me dala ka bang sasakyan?

Regarding sa outing namin last Friday sa Canyon Cove sa Batangas (Super ganda dun! The Best resort in Batangas. Kasi yun pa lang napuntahan ko sa Batangas!):

 

Chingay: Dorm Boy, magtsitsinelas ka lang ba?

Dorm Boy: Naku, linawin mo yang tanong mo na yan. Baka di ako payagan sumama o magkaiskandalo kung nakatsinelas lang ako. 

 Ilan lang yan sa mga pilosopong usapan namin. Nevertheless we made our conversation more alive. Hindi boring ang kwentuhan. Parang MSG lang to na nagpapasarap sa aming kwentuhan.

Natuwa ako kasi sa Wikepedia (ang official Search engine ko!) si Plato ay isa daw Pilosopo (you the man!) (see picture below): 

 

Ang mga kaibigan ni Dorm Boy ay mga Pilosopo din. (tingin sa baba:)

Therefore Si Dorm Boy ay isa ring Pilosopo na mahilig sa Hopia!

 

So get out and be pilosopo!
