What?! SSS lang?!?!

A funny but understandably innocent situation occured to be last Saturday that truly made me think a lot.... as in A LOT..

I was approaching the elevator on our 14th floor office at Landco when suddenly a bunch of people from the other office was also on their way.. since the building was considered as a 'smart building' hehe.. smart daw coz there aren't any buttons inside the elevator.. what you do is you press the desired floor you'd like to go to on the outside then the elevator screen shows you which door you are assigned, which then would take you to your desired floor.. hayy haba!

Anyways Elevator C is the dreaded door since it's always stuck, rarely is running properly plus there are fears of being stranded because of it's MOODS hehehe.. as we call it.

Now to make the long story short.. we were assigned to elevator C and one could hear shrieks and ayyy's of some people knowing we would be using the dreaded elevator.. plus there were qualms of death! hehee.. remarks of "yoko pa mamatay!!!" "I'm too young to diee!!!" hehhee...

But what shocked me to death was the comment made inside the elevator...

someone said... (translated into taglish) "Sus! why worry?! as long as may SSS na tayo, ok na yan lahat!"

I was like.. FROZEN.. I stared at the guy and was soo shocked that no one said anything in retoration but even affirmed!!!!

Oh come on! SSS?!?! the company on the average as of the moment gives 2,000 pesos to the elderly as their benefit for the long years before! so imagine how much we would get in the near future?!?!?! YEAH it does help a little .. but hey?!?! would we allow ourselves that little in the future after working our butts off?!?!?!

Oh MY GOSH!... amidst the UNIVERSITY degrees coming about with educational backgrounds of Flying colours.. I must say.. so many are STILL ILLITERATE!

hmm.. I don't blame them... but what bugs me is the thought that these Illiterates act as if they know everything and won't even bother to listen to those like us (me) who try to educate them as what I do in my company.

Sheeze... if they only knew

... hay for those who didn't get a thing on why I was so shocked.. for goodness sakes! ask me why before it's too late.

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...

Heart Torn Into Pieces ..

How should one feel after a love? uh me? I can't answer that for I've never really experience it yet... 'Til now.. Allowing someone in your life has two sides as person would always have 2 sides, just like a coin. It's either your lives be forever (?) at bliss or it would end up like how most relationship end - in bitter sorrow... I got my fair share of bitterness all my life and now am sad to say am on it's path once again. Fallen and loved someone who after a wink decides to change the table menu. Yeah it's painful, it feels like your heart being torn literally apart and all one can hear is the deafening silence of what used to be a gleeful heartbeat.. I thought I had forgotten how rotten it feels like but I guess I've accustomed myself to the feeling all the while. I've always wondered why there were sad songs when love when found is so pure and happy.. now I know why some people settle for the desperate and suicidal songs of despair.. the songs where...

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...
