Traditions..

Today our clan celebrated one of the traditions we usually have every year.. All Souls Day.. it's a night filled with fun and lots of food.. hehehe.. the way we usually celebrate things -- with lotsa food! hahaha.. and laughter too..

We just got home after arriving there at around 6:30pm after an hour of 'traffic' (that's not very usual in Davao but IT IS usual pag ganitong holiday).. stayed there, had some prayers and of course a lot of food..again.. hehe.. plus big plans for the clan or simply showing off some skills in entertainment and even ghost stories.. oooohh spooky..

It's fun to have these 'traditions' along, many people take these forgranted and majority would rather spend these occassion with their friends but for US we'd rather spend it with the people who define us -- our family. I was thinking kanina na I bet our ancestors would be damn proud of us.. hehe.. we simply can have clean fun just around each other, no fancy stuff, no special effects.. just us and our stories to tell..

I was even thinking that a lot would love to be in our clan.. as proven by some people who frequent our gathering, people we consider family.. :) this kinda rejuvinated my morale.. nakz.. motivating me to realize, this family/clan is something to be proud of.. :) and I should be proud i'm part of it.. :)

Translations

Words are oftentimes mis-used or even mistranslated when you over-translate them. It even loses it's meaning and may come out funny. One classic example would be TOOTHPASTE. I'm particularly interested in this word (or noun) because it doesn't have a translation in Filipino or in our dialect. Well, for those who know what the words are then please correct me :) I came across this topic in a skype group the other day, we were chatting our hearts out with people from around the world (well most are Filipinos but in different countries) then one person blurted " so ano ang tagalog sa toothpaste? " Everyone kept silent then someone suddenly blurted " joke ba yan? " then most chorused " COLGATE! "... much to my demise, I realized, I didn't know what the tagalog word is for Toothpaste, yet alone know the bisaya term for it. So, I researched online but nothing. Then started texting my friends (Globe lang coz free txt ako sa globe hehhehe) then pe...

Joke Text Messages --- A Reflection

Sa sermon, bag-ong Kano nga pari gitabangan sa Pinoy Interpreter: Pari: The Lord was crucified between two robblers. Roy: Si Hesus gilansang tunga sa duha ka goma. Pari: If we do not repent. Roy: Kung dili ta mamintal ug usab. Pari: The wrath of God will come upon you. Roy: Ang mga ilaga sa Dios moanha kaninyo . (Nangatawa ang mga nanimba) Pari: Well.. well... Roy: Atabay, Atabay.. . Those are one of the many jokes I often receive on day-to-day basis and it truly makes me smile and wonder: How do makers of these jokes ever conceive such simple yet effective ones? Well, maybe it's just me, maybe mababaw lang talaga ang kaligayahan ko .. or simply maybe my tickle bones are just too sensitive. But it's funny.. most especially the joke which follows: During the Last Supper, Jesus broke bread and shared to the twelve. So did they share with the wine... then Jesus said, " Naa diri kaninyo karon ang tao nga mag- betray kanako" ... Then Jesus looked sternly to Judas.. Judas...

Watermark...

Listening to Enya's Watermark makes my heart melt like ice in a hot summer day.. I wonder how the artist/composer felt like while creating such a touching song.. no rhyme nor word is used.. just pure emotion... .. to me feels a lot like loving someone so much yet one doesn't know how to convey.. a feeling only a gentle kiss or a warm hug can express.. How happy it is to love and more if the love felt is mutual.. so many have searched for it, yet only a few are graced by it's presence.. I admit I for one long for it.. the feeling where you need not worry coz someone will always love you, imperfections and all. As I see couples everyday... I can't help but ask myself, "Do they ever realize that many are longing for someone?" Before when I was still younger I despise the couples... but now, I truly envy (?) them.. hehe.. My heart beats extraordinarily whenever I see old couples kiss, hug, talk together, hold hands and just enjoy each other's company for they...
