a typical Pinoy's ref


Ang prigider (old school slang for ref) may kwento din. I happen to pass by Maxville (103.5 FM) and they tackled about this huge cold box. since it came I think after the WWII, nagbago na ang dating basyong nakasabit sa kisame para maiimbak ang pagkain at hindi maabot ng mga peste sa tahanan. -- Yan ang kwento sakin ng parents ko. pero anu ba daw ang mga karaniwang makikita sa loob ng isang prigider ng tipikal na Pinoy? inevaluate ko ang ref namin at malaki ang mga pagkakapare-pareho sa mga nabanggit nila. magdagdag na lang kayo kung may maisa-suggest pa kayo:

gulay - malunggay, kangkong, talong, kamatis
mga nabubulok - kalamansi, kamatis, talong
STAR Margarine para sa sinangag
1.5 L bote ng softdrinks na ginawang lalagyan ng tubig
basag na itlog
Alaska can na binutas ng kutsilyo
Tempra - ever reliable sa lagnat ng bata
kutsarita para sa Tempra
expired na syrup medicines
cake na may kutsilyo o tinidor
walang laman na ice cube mold
mga storage things na microwavable. minsan dating pinag-lagyan ng icecream
condiments in sachet - hot sauce, catsup
hiwang prutas - mangga, pinya, pakwan o papaya
Sunmade raisins
tuyo, tinapa, daing, danggit - sa lalagyan ng itlog
Brown Cow (kahit papano naging laman ng ref 'to)
Cowhead - dapat Cowhead para sa cereal meals
mga naka-stapler na plastic ng kape, asukal, gatas na powder, tomato sauce
hotdog, kikiam, squid balls, fishballs - mga pambaon
mga excess na arina ng pinagprituhan
mga tirang pagkain - sunny side-up na itlog, tinola at sinigang na gelatin na, nagsesebong adobo.
natirang dulo ng tasty bread na nasa plastic pa
di mawawala: dressed chicken, giniling, karne ng baboy

halos lahat yan meron kame. kayo kaya?

bakit ba ang dami kong tanong? ang kulit ko talaga!


bakit may traffic enforcer sa may traffic lights?
bakit kapa sumiksiksik kung alam mong masikip?
bakit utang ka nang utang wala ka namang pambayad?
bakit ayaw mong magtanim kung gusto mong may makain?
bakit ayaw mong uminom kung nauuhaw ka na?
bakit ka kain ng kain kung ayaw mong tumaba?
bakit ayaw mong magpahinga ngayong pagod ka na?
bakit ka pa nagtatagal pero ayaw mo sa sistema?
bakit ka puyat nang puyat pero inaantok ka na?
bakit ayaw mong magmadali kung ayaw mong mahuli at mapag-iwanan?
bakit ka nakatunganga kung nababagot ka na?
bakit ayaw mong subukan para makita ang resulta?
bakit ka pa nagrereklamo kung natanggap mo na?
bakit ba gusto mo laging gawin ang bawal?
bakit ka ba anak ng anak kung di mo naman kayang buhayin?
bakit ipipilit mo ang iyong sarili kung hindi mo naman kaya?
bakit pag sinabing liberated, dapat ba hindi na virgin?
bakit ang daming disenyo ng damit pero kita pa rin ang balat ng mga modelo nito?
bakit gusto mong nasa uso pero ayaw mo namang gayahin ka?
bakit ayaw mong makinig kung gusto mo ring pakinggan ka?
bakit ayaw mong mag-aral kung gusto mong matuto?
bakit pera lang ba ang sagot sa lahat?
bakit ka naastigan sa mga elemento ng demonyo kung alam mong masama ito?
bakit ayaw mong lutasin ang iyong problema?

bakit ba ang dami kong tanong?

on the blog

i can't access my own multiply site, but my fingers are shaking to type in those thoughts coming into my mind. so may i plug this add-on to those who are blog addicts. i have been using this mozilla add-on for about months now and i find this efficient to my blogging passion.

may i introduce to you: ScribeFire.



i was just looking for some add-ons for my mozilla browser until i came across ScribeFire. now i can post on my Blogspot, which by the way cross-posts to my multiply. and i can browse the internet without leaving a draft. uploading pictures is very easy.

if you want to know how this works, please check the link below. i know most of you would take multiply better than adding anything on your PC. but you can still check it out.

too bad you can't post from ScribeFire directly to multiply. but it powers Wordpress, TypePad, LiveJournal, Windows Live Spaces, Performancing, Jeeran, MySpace, Tumblr, Splinder.com, InsaneJournal and Xanga for those of you who have a lot of blogging websites.

TAKAW ROFLMAO!

July 15 2008 - Araw ng Sweldo

it was customary for me to eat out with officemates during payday. eventhough my dad prepares my lunch everyday, i sneaked out of the house this morning without the food he prepared. in my efforts not to spend a lot for my meal, i bought a set meal from Manong Cecilio: our regular maglalako ng merienda and lunch. i selected the kare-kare with rice and banana for lunch. i even had the chance to buy mushroom soup at nearby KFC branch to warm my stomach kasi medyo malamig na rin yung inorder ko kay manong.


every boring day, actually this goes on for weeks already after we transfered at the new office. nakarinig pa nga kame ng barilan dito sa may shell maya. chismis na personal na away pero i don't get the point na bakit hindi na lang nya sugurin sa loob ng building yung kaaway nya at kelangan pang gumawa ng mayabang na eksena. hirap talaga sumikat ngayon.

since very boring nga ngayon sa office at nawalan pa ng internet at a very long time, idagdag mo pa ang pag-expire ng installed game ko from Yahoo©, na-beat ko din ang spider solitaire at nag-experiment sa photoshop na wala namang kinahinatnan. lumabas na din ako ng office kasama ang ilan sa officemates para magpahangin sa labas. bibili sila ng tinapay sa malapit. pero paglingon ko sa likod sa Gloria Jean's ay may nakita akong 2 familiar na tao: mich and sharnie. lazily wasting time doon at nagbabasa ng magazines while sipping warm drinks. so join na lang ako sa kanila. bumili ako ng white chocolate latté with whipped cream on top. nakitusok sa mga pastries na kinakain nila at nakibasa na rin ng magazine. first time kong magbasa ng Sugar Sugar at fashion mag pala sya.

bago kame lumabas e i was still craving for something. namiss ko na ang maanghang na wasabe. sharnie and i decided na pumunta ng Bento Box. e hindi pa kame nakakapagpaalam king ging at mich dahil magbabayad pa sila sa BDO na offline pa!



pagdating ng Bento Box e umorder na ako ng miso soup at 8 pcs maki. si sharnie naman e salad ang inorder. nauna ang miso soup, sumunod ang salad at last ang maki. partida, naki-chopsticks pako ng salad kay sharnie at naunahan ko pa syang ubusin yung order ko. ngayon para na akong butete. i wanna get back on Hiphop Abs! natigil e, months na. hehe...

Brand NEW Brangelina twins!



Oh oh, someone at In Touch is getting fired. The magazine reported that Angelina Jolie had given birth to twin girls yesterday, but it turns out she actually had a boy and a girl.

Dr. Michel Sussmann, the obstetrician who delivered the twins, confirmed that mother and babies "are doing marvelously well."

Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Caesarean section on Saturday night.

He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed just over 5 pounds and the girl 5 pounds.

We hear the first baby photos have already been sold to one of the weeklies for $11 million dollars. And all the proceeds will go to charity. Can't wait to see the newest addition to the Brangelina bunch! Congrats to the happy couple.

Venezuela crowned... again!


hay, ewan ko ba! bakit ba napunta dun lahat ng magagandang lahi! makapunta nga ng Central America!

NHA TRANG, Vietnam - Miss Venezuela was crowned Miss Universe 2008 on Monday in a contest marked by the spectacle of Miss USA falling down during the evening gown competition for the second year in a row.

An elated Dayana Mendoza received the crown from her predecessor, Riyo Mori of Japan, and then prepared to meet a gaggle of reporters. Miss Venezuela, 22, was once kidnapped in her homeland and says the experience taught her to remain poised under pressure.

Tension got under the skin of Crystle Stewart of Texas, the second Miss USA in a row to fall down during the Miss Universe pageant. She tripped on the train of her bejeweled evening gown as she made her entrance.

New Fare Hikes

Effective July 11 2008, magmamahalan na naman ang mga pamasahe.
Simula sa bus lines with the following:
Ordinary - P 10.00 (minimum)
AIRCON - P 12.00 (minimum)

But on Monday, July 14 2008, other PUVs will be following the said fare increase:
Jeepney - P 8.50
Taxi - + P 10 sa meter. (edi parang P 40 na rin ang starting rate nun)

Hay! Ang mahal na ng pamasahe! Tapos mukhang namimiligro na rin ang MRT. Danger na ang overloading. Sana bumili na sila ng bagong trains at dagdagan nila ang mga byahe.
