Kung Ano Ano

Biyernes
Gilligans kami ng Justice League tropa after work. Send off party dahil pumunta ng Bangkok si DD at Dan last weekend tas birthday din ni Aynz. Happy berdey Aynz! May pics sana ng happenings last Friday kaso ayun, tangay tangay din ni Dan papunta Thailand. Pustoy! Dan email mo sa kin mga ritrato naten!

Sabado
As usual, I was in UP-Fine Arts for the weekday hobbying sessions. I worked into converting one of my troop transport tank called a Rhino into a hard-hitting demolitions tank called a Vindicator.

I saw one of the IPMS members with a scratch-built lightsaber and it was amazing when he said that it'L be just only 400 to 500 bucks a piece for him to construct another one. I need two before Christmas! I should scheme soon how will I be able to ask the guy to make one for me.

After UP, we headed to the Shak to continue working on the Vindicator. Arvin brought a LOT of Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) cards from his collection. It was a card game I used to play 7 whooping years ago! That was a couple of months after I became bored playing with Magic (The Gathering) cards, and "explored" for alternatives. I used to play Unicorn Clan in L5R back then (not that iL expect you to know about it).

Anyway, we at the Shak sorted over the boxes of L5R cards and they've created several decks out of em. It was a long night as they test-played their decks while I focused on watching and re-learning the rules and gameplay strategies that I've long forgotten already.

Linggo
I headed back to the Shak and from there we stormed Greenhills to look for hobby tools and toys. I was able to buy a file set, a side cutter, and a flat black acryclic primer. Then we looked around for toys. Arvin busied himself looking for this rare Gundam Zeta model, while I oogled at Starwars actions figures and thingamajigs! I wish I was a millionaire.

After that, we charged towards Galleria and I dropped by Neutral Grounds to buy two spray cans of acrylic dark green. I need it for the tank I was working on.

Then, we watched "Doom". It "Rocks"... pun intended, especially when it shifted to the first-person point of view and relived the decade-old glory of the seat-wrenching, vertigo-inducing game of the same name. I missed the "Rock Bottom"... the Rock should have done that against the protagonist. =)

We got ourselves glutton-pregnant in this Chinese resto somewhere in Ortigas after we watched the film. The food tastes good and the price is reasonable. I got myself steamed shrimp dimsums (hakao) and a chopsuey plater.

Then, we headed back to the Shak, hanged-out for gazillions hours (some of the boyz were playing L5R again while some continued their own painting projects)...

And finally, I made it home around 3am... only to brace myself for an unevitable Monday work sickness today!

I iz sleeeepy.... Zzzzz....

Green Lantern Strikes Back

Regarding my entry last October 14, hindi namin kasama si Wacha kumain nun kasi iba yung break nya kesa sa amin that time.

Humirit pa ng pahabol na kwistyon tunkol sa barbero-kwento ng"Pako at Bulak"! For the benefit of the doubt, pakibasa na lang ang aming chat transkrip:

*sumulpot ng walang ka-abog abog*
Wacha: obi
Wacha: anu ba talaga sagot
Wacha: kung sino mas mabigat
Ako: saan?
Wacha: pako o bulak?
Ako: pugak
Ako: isa ka pa
BUZZ!!! <--- *minadali pa ko ng kumag*
Ako: ano mas mabigat sa isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak?
Wacha: e anu ba talaga?
Ako: e di wala
Ako: parehong isang kilo e!
Wacha: malay ko ba kung joke un <--- *lulusot pa*
Ako: nyahahaha
Wacha: hahaha
Wacha: uu nga no
Wacha: hahahaha
Ako: nyahahaha lanya ka
Ako: isa ka pa

Magsama kayo ni Danilo! Nyahahaha... parang di kayo tumambay sa barberya dati ah!

Anyway, maligayang tapusang linggo sa inyong lahat! Limang tulog na lang sweldo na ulet! Plus limang tulog pa ulet, tataas na ulet lahat ng paninda dahil sa EVAT! Ang kapalit... long vacation at samu't saring holidays!

Yahooow! Mabuhay ang Rehimeng Macapagal!!!

Sabi nga ng isang tropa ko "We've been ass-raped by the Spaniards for over 300 years, what can another 6 years do?"

Woooooh! Ang saya saya sa Pinas!!!

Pakalat-kalat sa email ko 'to kanina. Pakibasa na laang:

Filipino Conversations/Dictionary
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 Filipinolanguage 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-brip (lag-lag-brip). The female counterpart of laglag-panti
12. 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.
13. Indyanero (In-jan-neh-ro). An individual who fails to appear at an appointment 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."

Quickie Stuffs of the Past
Saturday
Kolat Cup (Warhammer miniature game tournament) at Festival Mall, Filinvest, Alabang. I ended up with a standing of Draw-Lose-Draw before me and the Shak guys forfeited the last game to go bonkers in Gilligan's instead. We went home around 12 midnight after huddling in McDo - ATC for some late night snacks.

Sunday
Stayed home and painted my miniatures. After oogling at how good my opponent's armies were painted in the Kolat Cup, I've had that sudden inspiration to finish painting my army.

Monday
Routine stuffs. Went to work. Went home. Paint.

Tuesday
Routine stuffs. My hobby friends were inviting me for an alcohol session after work but just when i was to confirm my attendance, my dad called and heck... anniversary pala nila ng aking ina! Hehe. Malay ko ba. We're not in good terms with our dad but at least there were these kind of stuffs just for the sake of being formal about "family" events. So I rushed back home, ate, then went back painting.

Today
Routine stuffs. I am suppose to go with Dan "the Flash" to the gym but I've already commited to have a Warhammer game with my hobby friends in Glorietta this evening. Bawi sa ibang araw na lang. Hah, papayat nga ako! =)

Question of the Day
Ano English ng toothpaste?

Later at the Hall of Justice

Kaninang tanghali, lunch-out kami ulit ng Justice League. Last order na yung sisig sa kinakainan namin. Sakto sana para sa min pero yung mukhang garapata na nasa likod namin e nakipag unahan pa ng order. E pinagbigyan ni Man. Hindi ko kasi alam e, hindi agad sinabi ni Man... kung nalaman ko yun, susugurin ko yun!

Tas bibigyan ko ng sawsawan. Hehe. Anlalaking mama e. Baka mamya gusto nila ng sawsawan sa sisig nila, malay ko ba.

Singilin sana kayo ng arthritis niyo bukas kung sino man kayo!

Anyway, tis another bull session with the gang. Dan was sharing about these ol' school jokes his eldest was telling him. E hindi nila alam madami akong baong makalumang hirit-barbero so humirit ako:

Ako: E tanda niyo ga yung kung ano ang mas mabigat, isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak?
DD: *nangiti habang ngumangatngat ng tinidor (hehe)* ah ok yan.
Ayn: *humagalpak ng tawa na parang kami ang may-ari ng mundo* oo nga yung isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak!
Dan: *naiwan sa kawalan ang diwa* ha? ano ba yun?
Man: Ano nga daw ang mas mabigat, isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak?
Dan: *nagtaas ng noo* ahhhh. e di pako. *sabay lagok ng 7-UP*
The rest of the gang: *gumulong sa sahig sa kakatawa*

Bagong quotable quote na naman tuloy ng tropa yun... "e di pako!"

Anyway highway, asa Gilligan's kami kagabi for dinner tsaka inuman (sa Batangas = "barikan"). It was the first time in about a year that the Leaguers were almost complete in such a rendezvous again. Ilan lang ang absent.

Ano pa ba mga events?

Hayun. It's flooding pizza here today at work. The October birthday celebrants treated us with six giant boxes of Yellow Cab pizzas, ice creams, and cakes! Grabe, bondat ako... when I promised iL refrain from gluttony when I started my gym sessions. Haay. Bawi na lang sa ibang araw. =)

Tomorrow will be the Kolat Cup in Gameworx, Filinvest Mall, Alabang. It's a single-day Warhammer 40K tournament. Four games, Swiss-style... all for the grand prize of PHP10,000 and a Space Marine Drop Pod model from Forge World UK worth around PHP5,000. The best painted army on the other hand will take home a Space Marine Dreadnought Drop Pod model worth approximately PHP6,000.

I'm definitely not expecting to win. The registration for the tourney is free so I'm participating just for the fun and that lil brag for the honor of pitting wits with the veterans!

Hasta La Vista, Baby!

I went with Dan yesterday for my come-back appearance to our friend's gym. The last time I had a gym session was a lot of months ago already and I really gained a lot working for the night shift. Wala kami ginawa sa gabi kundi lumamon to avert the conditions of staying "alive" while in contrary to our bio-clocks. I was even used to playing basketball every Friday night after work when I was in the morning shift but yesterday when we played ball prior to the gym excercises, I was like panting like crazy and we're just getting started!

Inangkupow! This cannot be... borrow one from three!

Kaya kahapon, sugod mga katipunero kami sa gym!

Basketball muna. Four rounds of 12-point games. Tapos pahinga. Cox muna (Coke). Tapos buhat na! Walang humpay! No pain, no gain! We went home around 10pm.

Kaya heto, hansakit ng biceps ko. Hat yung braso ko hansakit din! Nanginginig pa. Hayoko naman mag pain killer. Indi recommended hiyan. Hinuhuto lang nyan ang hutak nyo para kuwari walang masakit sa katawan nyo. Tihisin nyo na lang.

The pain's worth it anyway.

But I'm definitely NOT toning down to aim for that Arnold Iskwaseneger muscles. Kadiri. Gusto ko na yung gentong katawan, yung chubby lang. Ayoko lang sumobra pa sa ganun kaya kelangan maintain lang.

Back in my college days, I always had this discussion with my girl friends about what body type they prefer for a man, and surprisingly a number of them didn't like the muscle-types! When for all we know, even before the days of the Masculados, being a macho "dawg" is a relative qualification to be a girl-magnet. Of course, my friends are just a fraction of the majority... a random sampling case, statistically speaking... but a lot would rather go with someone a bit "flabby", y'know those pillow type bodies.

So, ei why not call another round of this survey! Ikaw, ano gusto mo na katawan ng lalake?

UP-CFA Invasion

I was in UP College of Fine Arts AGAIN yesterday for another build session with the miniature modellers.

I could have just stayed at home to jog or play basketball but I had this feeling that it'L rain on the afternoon and that won't be feasible so I hooked up with my Warhammer 40K friends instead. I badly need a workout (Calling Dan! Calling Dan!) Gym tayo next week... sasama na ko paramis! Ehehehe. Panay lamon lang kasi alam e. Tisk tisk tisk.

Grabe inabot kami ng bagyo sa UP and it was my first time to experience a lightning striking just meters away from the premise where I was in. As in namuti yung buong paligid and literally it was hair-raising! Pati ata balahibo ko sa *toot* *toot* tumayo eh. Nyahahaha.

Anyway, we had hotdogs and siomai all over the place tapos nagdala pa ng chili con carne si Arvin. Kudos dude... astig ng lasa! Pagtapos ng ulan umuwi na din yung mga Fine Arts students then an hour after sumunod na din kami. I hanged out at the 40K players' tambayan coined "the Shakk" and went home around 11pm na.

Kanina namang umaga, I just stayed home and worked with my 40K miniatures. I still have to paint a lot of figures more in time for the Kolat Cup - a Warhammer 40K tournament - this coming Saturday. I just went online today to ease up a bit but after this I'll probably soak back to painting my minis.

Kung tama ako, pangatlong beses ko na ngayon na nag-online on a weekend. Yey!

*current mood: burobotic (andami ko nakain e... malaamng burubot to paglabas. nyahaha)
*currently listening to: "Mahal Kita Sabi ng Puso Ko - Isaw Remix" by April Boy Regino feat. Mystica

Meanwhile At The Hall of Justice

Food trip kami ng Justice League kahapon sa Bacolod Chicken House. Grabe, astig talaga sarap dun. Ang gara pa ng serbisyo! Kasi si Dan nag order ng pinya juice (mahilig sa pinya yan e... kahit "pimo" kakainin nyan... nyahaha... bawal ang slow).

Anyway highway, paalis na sana yung waiter matapos makuha sandamakmak na order namin ng sabi ni Dan, "Pineapple juice, koya... nalista na?"

Sagot nung waiter habang nakangiting nakakaloko, "Miron na!"

Nyahaha... linte kakaron! Pastelan kamo! Bacolod na Bacolod pati ambiance! Asteg.

Naalala ko tuloy yung kwento sa amin ni Koya Hernan tunkol sa pinsan nyang si Koya Rik Tyogi. Nasa Cebu daw sila nun. E may lakad sila so dapat isputing na isputing ang japorms syempre mga taga Maynila e dapat fabulous. Yung isa nilang tropapips e lumabas na naka hapit na pantalon na baston. Tanong kay Koya Rik e, "Ayus ba porma ko 'tol?"

E nakalimot si Koya Rik, sinigaw pa! "Ay muka kang Bisaya!"

Haller??? Nasa Cebu ka... lahat ng tao sa paligid mo Bisaya! Haller??? Buti hindi daw sila kinuyog nung mga nakakapakinig. Nyahahaha.

Bisaya ang ama ko. Bakit kaya ayaw nila bumawi sa mga taga Maynila. Kuwari pag nakakita sila ng naka pormang Mystica o kaya April Boy sigaw din sila... "Ay pucha muka kang Tagalog!"

Bawi bawi lang naman yan di ba. Nung bata ako panakot sa kin ng lola ko, "Hala wag ka lalabas, kukunin ka ng Bumbay!"

Kung ako sa mga Indiyano babawi ako. Sabihin ko sa mga anak kong may bigote na kahit limang taong gulang pa lang, "Hala tumahan ka na ng iyak, ipapakain kita sa mga Pinoy!"

Nyahahaha. Bawi di ba?

Bago pala dumating order namin kagabi binasa ko sa kanila yung text sa kin nung Super Friends namin, si Rein-Mher Castillo (Smile mo kita ko!). It goes a little something like this:

Anak (sabik): Nay, nay me mens na ko!!
Nanay (kiber lang): Ano kulay, aber?
Anak (nag alangan): Dark brown, nay!
Nanay (nagalit): Lintek na bata to! LBM yan! Hala, maghugas ka na ng puwet! Ambisyoso kang bakla ka!

Nyahahaha. Kulet ng pang himagas namin no.

=)

Bate Bot

Wacha, aside from being my pakner back in the graveyard shift, is the Green Lantern of the Justice League tropa. It is so because he's just literally "green". Don't give me that innocent smile, I know you know what I mean! Green... as in utak green!

Hehe yari ako ke Wacha.

Anyway, I just find it relevant to blurt out since I am wearing my baby blue Batibot shirt and bored. So to celebrate Wacha's shifting back to the morning schedule and the tropa's chance to be united in complete attendance every lunch again (get ready mga kosa!), I would like to take this opportunity "to shoot at Wacha" ("para tirahin si Wacha" sa Tagalog... hehe). Humanda ka Bernz, mas corny pa sa jokes mo 'to!!! =)

Sino ang peborit character ni Wacha sa Batibot?

Si Pong Utong.

Sino pa?

Si Kiking Matsing.

Sino naman ang pinaka-ayaw niya?

Si Big BIRD.

Taga Batibot ba yun?

Hindi. Care mo?

=)

Welcome to the morning sun, Wacha!!! Sa umaga naman tayo magkakalat ng lagim!

The Week That Was

Friday
Went to Pier One - The Fort with my new officemates for Donna and Igo's farewell riot. It was Donna's last day... awww. Salamats Donna, and good luck with everything!

Saturday
I went to UP - College of Fine Arts last Saturday for another build session with the IPMS guys. Played a Warhammer 40K game against Arvin and lose. Olats talaga.

That night, tumambay kami sa Shak tas uminom dun sa isang resto malapit dun. Can't name every place we went to since ligaw na kuting talaga ako sa QC. Basta maganda naman yung place and their sisig tastes good... tas ang combo pa e Cerbeza Negra. Asteg.

Sunday
I spent the whole day at home painting my miniatures. Tournament's fast coming and I should at least complete some models before showcasing them to the public. Naks! As if!

Long Time No Zzzzzz...

Happy Long Vacation to everyone!!! Mabuhay ang Rehimeng Macapagal!!

Sa mga callboy at callgirl... malamang wala kayong bakasyon. Belat na lang. Hehe! Tara sa UP bukas!

Kung Ano Ano

Biyernes
Gilligans kami ng Justice League tropa after work. Send off party dahil pumunta ng Bangkok si DD at Dan last weekend tas birthday din ni Aynz. Happy berdey Aynz! May pics sana ng happenings last Friday kaso ayun, tangay tangay din ni Dan papunta Thailand. Pustoy! Dan email mo sa kin mga ritrato naten!

Sabado
As usual, I was in UP-Fine Arts for the weekday hobbying sessions. I worked into converting one of my troop transport tank called a Rhino into a hard-hitting demolitions tank called a Vindicator.

I saw one of the IPMS members with a scratch-built lightsaber and it was amazing when he said that it'L be just only 400 to 500 bucks a piece for him to construct another one. I need two before Christmas! I should scheme soon how will I be able to ask the guy to make one for me.

After UP, we headed to the Shak to continue working on the Vindicator. Arvin brought a LOT of Legend of the Five Rings (L5R) cards from his collection. It was a card game I used to play 7 whooping years ago! That was a couple of months after I became bored playing with Magic (The Gathering) cards, and "explored" for alternatives. I used to play Unicorn Clan in L5R back then (not that iL expect you to know about it).

Anyway, we at the Shak sorted over the boxes of L5R cards and they've created several decks out of em. It was a long night as they test-played their decks while I focused on watching and re-learning the rules and gameplay strategies that I've long forgotten already.

Linggo
I headed back to the Shak and from there we stormed Greenhills to look for hobby tools and toys. I was able to buy a file set, a side cutter, and a flat black acryclic primer. Then we looked around for toys. Arvin busied himself looking for this rare Gundam Zeta model, while I oogled at Starwars actions figures and thingamajigs! I wish I was a millionaire.

After that, we charged towards Galleria and I dropped by Neutral Grounds to buy two spray cans of acrylic dark green. I need it for the tank I was working on.

Then, we watched "Doom". It "Rocks"... pun intended, especially when it shifted to the first-person point of view and relived the decade-old glory of the seat-wrenching, vertigo-inducing game of the same name. I missed the "Rock Bottom"... the Rock should have done that against the protagonist. =)

We got ourselves glutton-pregnant in this Chinese resto somewhere in Ortigas after we watched the film. The food tastes good and the price is reasonable. I got myself steamed shrimp dimsums (hakao) and a chopsuey plater.

Then, we headed back to the Shak, hanged-out for gazillions hours (some of the boyz were playing L5R again while some continued their own painting projects)...

And finally, I made it home around 3am... only to brace myself for an unevitable Monday work sickness today!

I iz sleeeepy.... Zzzzz....

Green Lantern Strikes Back

Regarding my entry last October 14, hindi namin kasama si Wacha kumain nun kasi iba yung break nya kesa sa amin that time.

Humirit pa ng pahabol na kwistyon tunkol sa barbero-kwento ng"Pako at Bulak"! For the benefit of the doubt, pakibasa na lang ang aming chat transkrip:

*sumulpot ng walang ka-abog abog*
Wacha: obi
Wacha: anu ba talaga sagot
Wacha: kung sino mas mabigat
Ako: saan?
Wacha: pako o bulak?
Ako: pugak
Ako: isa ka pa
BUZZ!!! <--- *minadali pa ko ng kumag*
Ako: ano mas mabigat sa isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak?
Wacha: e anu ba talaga?
Ako: e di wala
Ako: parehong isang kilo e!
Wacha: malay ko ba kung joke un <--- *lulusot pa*
Ako: nyahahaha
Wacha: hahaha
Wacha: uu nga no
Wacha: hahahaha
Ako: nyahahaha lanya ka
Ako: isa ka pa

Magsama kayo ni Danilo! Nyahahaha... parang di kayo tumambay sa barberya dati ah!

Anyway, maligayang tapusang linggo sa inyong lahat! Limang tulog na lang sweldo na ulet! Plus limang tulog pa ulet, tataas na ulet lahat ng paninda dahil sa EVAT! Ang kapalit... long vacation at samu't saring holidays!

Yahooow! Mabuhay ang Rehimeng Macapagal!!!

Sabi nga ng isang tropa ko "We've been ass-raped by the Spaniards for over 300 years, what can another 6 years do?"

Woooooh! Ang saya saya sa Pinas!!!

Pakalat-kalat sa email ko 'to kanina. Pakibasa na laang:

Filipino Conversations/Dictionary
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 Filipinolanguage 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-brip (lag-lag-brip). The female counterpart of laglag-panti
12. 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.
13. Indyanero (In-jan-neh-ro). An individual who fails to appear at an appointment 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."

Quickie Stuffs of the Past
Saturday
Kolat Cup (Warhammer miniature game tournament) at Festival Mall, Filinvest, Alabang. I ended up with a standing of Draw-Lose-Draw before me and the Shak guys forfeited the last game to go bonkers in Gilligan's instead. We went home around 12 midnight after huddling in McDo - ATC for some late night snacks.

Sunday
Stayed home and painted my miniatures. After oogling at how good my opponent's armies were painted in the Kolat Cup, I've had that sudden inspiration to finish painting my army.

Monday
Routine stuffs. Went to work. Went home. Paint.

Tuesday
Routine stuffs. My hobby friends were inviting me for an alcohol session after work but just when i was to confirm my attendance, my dad called and heck... anniversary pala nila ng aking ina! Hehe. Malay ko ba. We're not in good terms with our dad but at least there were these kind of stuffs just for the sake of being formal about "family" events. So I rushed back home, ate, then went back painting.

Today
Routine stuffs. I am suppose to go with Dan "the Flash" to the gym but I've already commited to have a Warhammer game with my hobby friends in Glorietta this evening. Bawi sa ibang araw na lang. Hah, papayat nga ako! =)

Question of the Day
Ano English ng toothpaste?

Later at the Hall of Justice

Kaninang tanghali, lunch-out kami ulit ng Justice League. Last order na yung sisig sa kinakainan namin. Sakto sana para sa min pero yung mukhang garapata na nasa likod namin e nakipag unahan pa ng order. E pinagbigyan ni Man. Hindi ko kasi alam e, hindi agad sinabi ni Man... kung nalaman ko yun, susugurin ko yun!

Tas bibigyan ko ng sawsawan. Hehe. Anlalaking mama e. Baka mamya gusto nila ng sawsawan sa sisig nila, malay ko ba.

Singilin sana kayo ng arthritis niyo bukas kung sino man kayo!

Anyway, tis another bull session with the gang. Dan was sharing about these ol' school jokes his eldest was telling him. E hindi nila alam madami akong baong makalumang hirit-barbero so humirit ako:

Ako: E tanda niyo ga yung kung ano ang mas mabigat, isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak?
DD: *nangiti habang ngumangatngat ng tinidor (hehe)* ah ok yan.
Ayn: *humagalpak ng tawa na parang kami ang may-ari ng mundo* oo nga yung isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak!
Dan: *naiwan sa kawalan ang diwa* ha? ano ba yun?
Man: Ano nga daw ang mas mabigat, isang kilong pako o isang kilong bulak?
Dan: *nagtaas ng noo* ahhhh. e di pako. *sabay lagok ng 7-UP*
The rest of the gang: *gumulong sa sahig sa kakatawa*

Bagong quotable quote na naman tuloy ng tropa yun... "e di pako!"

Anyway highway, asa Gilligan's kami kagabi for dinner tsaka inuman (sa Batangas = "barikan"). It was the first time in about a year that the Leaguers were almost complete in such a rendezvous again. Ilan lang ang absent.

Ano pa ba mga events?

Hayun. It's flooding pizza here today at work. The October birthday celebrants treated us with six giant boxes of Yellow Cab pizzas, ice creams, and cakes! Grabe, bondat ako... when I promised iL refrain from gluttony when I started my gym sessions. Haay. Bawi na lang sa ibang araw. =)

Tomorrow will be the Kolat Cup in Gameworx, Filinvest Mall, Alabang. It's a single-day Warhammer 40K tournament. Four games, Swiss-style... all for the grand prize of PHP10,000 and a Space Marine Drop Pod model from Forge World UK worth around PHP5,000. The best painted army on the other hand will take home a Space Marine Dreadnought Drop Pod model worth approximately PHP6,000.

I'm definitely not expecting to win. The registration for the tourney is free so I'm participating just for the fun and that lil brag for the honor of pitting wits with the veterans!

Hasta La Vista, Baby!

I went with Dan yesterday for my come-back appearance to our friend's gym. The last time I had a gym session was a lot of months ago already and I really gained a lot working for the night shift. Wala kami ginawa sa gabi kundi lumamon to avert the conditions of staying "alive" while in contrary to our bio-clocks. I was even used to playing basketball every Friday night after work when I was in the morning shift but yesterday when we played ball prior to the gym excercises, I was like panting like crazy and we're just getting started!

Inangkupow! This cannot be... borrow one from three!

Kaya kahapon, sugod mga katipunero kami sa gym!

Basketball muna. Four rounds of 12-point games. Tapos pahinga. Cox muna (Coke). Tapos buhat na! Walang humpay! No pain, no gain! We went home around 10pm.

Kaya heto, hansakit ng biceps ko. Hat yung braso ko hansakit din! Nanginginig pa. Hayoko naman mag pain killer. Indi recommended hiyan. Hinuhuto lang nyan ang hutak nyo para kuwari walang masakit sa katawan nyo. Tihisin nyo na lang.

The pain's worth it anyway.

But I'm definitely NOT toning down to aim for that Arnold Iskwaseneger muscles. Kadiri. Gusto ko na yung gentong katawan, yung chubby lang. Ayoko lang sumobra pa sa ganun kaya kelangan maintain lang.

Back in my college days, I always had this discussion with my girl friends about what body type they prefer for a man, and surprisingly a number of them didn't like the muscle-types! When for all we know, even before the days of the Masculados, being a macho "dawg" is a relative qualification to be a girl-magnet. Of course, my friends are just a fraction of the majority... a random sampling case, statistically speaking... but a lot would rather go with someone a bit "flabby", y'know those pillow type bodies.

So, ei why not call another round of this survey! Ikaw, ano gusto mo na katawan ng lalake?

UP-CFA Invasion

I was in UP College of Fine Arts AGAIN yesterday for another build session with the miniature modellers.

I could have just stayed at home to jog or play basketball but I had this feeling that it'L rain on the afternoon and that won't be feasible so I hooked up with my Warhammer 40K friends instead. I badly need a workout (Calling Dan! Calling Dan!) Gym tayo next week... sasama na ko paramis! Ehehehe. Panay lamon lang kasi alam e. Tisk tisk tisk.

Grabe inabot kami ng bagyo sa UP and it was my first time to experience a lightning striking just meters away from the premise where I was in. As in namuti yung buong paligid and literally it was hair-raising! Pati ata balahibo ko sa *toot* *toot* tumayo eh. Nyahahaha.

Anyway, we had hotdogs and siomai all over the place tapos nagdala pa ng chili con carne si Arvin. Kudos dude... astig ng lasa! Pagtapos ng ulan umuwi na din yung mga Fine Arts students then an hour after sumunod na din kami. I hanged out at the 40K players' tambayan coined "the Shakk" and went home around 11pm na.

Kanina namang umaga, I just stayed home and worked with my 40K miniatures. I still have to paint a lot of figures more in time for the Kolat Cup - a Warhammer 40K tournament - this coming Saturday. I just went online today to ease up a bit but after this I'll probably soak back to painting my minis.

Kung tama ako, pangatlong beses ko na ngayon na nag-online on a weekend. Yey!

*current mood: burobotic (andami ko nakain e... malaamng burubot to paglabas. nyahaha)
*currently listening to: "Mahal Kita Sabi ng Puso Ko - Isaw Remix" by April Boy Regino feat. Mystica

Meanwhile At The Hall of Justice

Food trip kami ng Justice League kahapon sa Bacolod Chicken House. Grabe, astig talaga sarap dun. Ang gara pa ng serbisyo! Kasi si Dan nag order ng pinya juice (mahilig sa pinya yan e... kahit "pimo" kakainin nyan... nyahaha... bawal ang slow).

Anyway highway, paalis na sana yung waiter matapos makuha sandamakmak na order namin ng sabi ni Dan, "Pineapple juice, koya... nalista na?"

Sagot nung waiter habang nakangiting nakakaloko, "Miron na!"

Nyahaha... linte kakaron! Pastelan kamo! Bacolod na Bacolod pati ambiance! Asteg.

Naalala ko tuloy yung kwento sa amin ni Koya Hernan tunkol sa pinsan nyang si Koya Rik Tyogi. Nasa Cebu daw sila nun. E may lakad sila so dapat isputing na isputing ang japorms syempre mga taga Maynila e dapat fabulous. Yung isa nilang tropapips e lumabas na naka hapit na pantalon na baston. Tanong kay Koya Rik e, "Ayus ba porma ko 'tol?"

E nakalimot si Koya Rik, sinigaw pa! "Ay muka kang Bisaya!"

Haller??? Nasa Cebu ka... lahat ng tao sa paligid mo Bisaya! Haller??? Buti hindi daw sila kinuyog nung mga nakakapakinig. Nyahahaha.

Bisaya ang ama ko. Bakit kaya ayaw nila bumawi sa mga taga Maynila. Kuwari pag nakakita sila ng naka pormang Mystica o kaya April Boy sigaw din sila... "Ay pucha muka kang Tagalog!"

Bawi bawi lang naman yan di ba. Nung bata ako panakot sa kin ng lola ko, "Hala wag ka lalabas, kukunin ka ng Bumbay!"

Kung ako sa mga Indiyano babawi ako. Sabihin ko sa mga anak kong may bigote na kahit limang taong gulang pa lang, "Hala tumahan ka na ng iyak, ipapakain kita sa mga Pinoy!"

Nyahahaha. Bawi di ba?

Bago pala dumating order namin kagabi binasa ko sa kanila yung text sa kin nung Super Friends namin, si Rein-Mher Castillo (Smile mo kita ko!). It goes a little something like this:

Anak (sabik): Nay, nay me mens na ko!!
Nanay (kiber lang): Ano kulay, aber?
Anak (nag alangan): Dark brown, nay!
Nanay (nagalit): Lintek na bata to! LBM yan! Hala, maghugas ka na ng puwet! Ambisyoso kang bakla ka!

Nyahahaha. Kulet ng pang himagas namin no.

=)

Bate Bot

Wacha, aside from being my pakner back in the graveyard shift, is the Green Lantern of the Justice League tropa. It is so because he's just literally "green". Don't give me that innocent smile, I know you know what I mean! Green... as in utak green!

Hehe yari ako ke Wacha.

Anyway, I just find it relevant to blurt out since I am wearing my baby blue Batibot shirt and bored. So to celebrate Wacha's shifting back to the morning schedule and the tropa's chance to be united in complete attendance every lunch again (get ready mga kosa!), I would like to take this opportunity "to shoot at Wacha" ("para tirahin si Wacha" sa Tagalog... hehe). Humanda ka Bernz, mas corny pa sa jokes mo 'to!!! =)

Sino ang peborit character ni Wacha sa Batibot?

Si Pong Utong.

Sino pa?

Si Kiking Matsing.

Sino naman ang pinaka-ayaw niya?

Si Big BIRD.

Taga Batibot ba yun?

Hindi. Care mo?

=)

Welcome to the morning sun, Wacha!!! Sa umaga naman tayo magkakalat ng lagim!

The Week That Was

Friday
Went to Pier One - The Fort with my new officemates for Donna and Igo's farewell riot. It was Donna's last day... awww. Salamats Donna, and good luck with everything!

Saturday
I went to UP - College of Fine Arts last Saturday for another build session with the IPMS guys. Played a Warhammer 40K game against Arvin and lose. Olats talaga.

That night, tumambay kami sa Shak tas uminom dun sa isang resto malapit dun. Can't name every place we went to since ligaw na kuting talaga ako sa QC. Basta maganda naman yung place and their sisig tastes good... tas ang combo pa e Cerbeza Negra. Asteg.

Sunday
I spent the whole day at home painting my miniatures. Tournament's fast coming and I should at least complete some models before showcasing them to the public. Naks! As if!
