Vietnamese Cuisine

Ate at a Vietnamese retaurant tonight with my parents and their friends. Hmm.. great food though I don't know what will happen tomorrow.. hahaha.. got a lot of herbs inside me.. hahaha.. but I specially like the 'roll' as they call it, parang lumpia but with 'rice paper' then you put in cabbage, pork meat (na parang cooked tocino but not sweet), green mango strips, cucumber strips, onion leaf strips, mint and oregano.. then roll mo then.. dip in a special sauce na parang may peanut.. hmm .. yum yum.. hehe... sayang nga lang di ko naisipang picturan.. hehe.. then there was green curry (as in green hahaha hindi ung yellowish, it's reall green), then ung parang pancit na flat mixed with several vegies, sarap din.. and marami pa.. I just noticed they're more into the spicy lineage of food tapos yung puro veggie stuff, and food na dami ekk ekk hehhee.. but it was fun!

Funny coz several months before, I was insisting that we (family) should try vietnamese.. Well, circumstance did me a favor tonight. hahaha..

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...
