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 said, " Mao na lagi na ang kadaot nimo Jes uy! makainom na gani ka, pataka ra ka ug panangil! Pag- sure sa oi!"

Hahahahaha....

I mean, I doubt the authors of these jokes ever wanted to ignite furies to the religious, nor are they doing that to mock the religion. I think it's plainly for laughs. Something that everyone truly needs these days. As they say, Laughter indeed is the best medicine.

WhaT DoNuT ArE YoU!?

You Are a Glazed Donut Okay, you know that you're plain - and you're cool with that. You prefer not to let anything distract from your sweetness. Your appeal is understated yet universal. Everyone dig you. And in a pinch, you'll probably get eaten. What Donut Are You?

It's up to my wife....

"It's up to my wife.." A student told me today when I asked them to present in class their future plans. I honestly was taken aback by his response. He wasn't the type of who would let someone decide for him. But there he was telling me this. Somehow, I wasn't sure that his declaration was for real. When I asked him if the decision to get married was his, he simply said, "I don't have a choice." I wonder. If I were the fiance and I heard all these, how would it feel like? On the other hand, will men really dodge the bullets of marriage if they could? Why so? Is marriage only for the weak? I hope not.

My Supposedly 1st Year Anniversary

I woke up today hoping the feeling would be gone But then I realized, it just can't be done. Thoughts raged as I recalled.. It was this day.... 1 year had gone. Hmm... it was dawn when we finally decided to try and put our friendship to second base. I was so excited coz you'd be my first. Didn't really know how it would turn out, but I had hopes na it would somehow last. I was wrong, so naive, so foolish. Didn't see, didn't know it would end like this. I trusted, I cared, I loved. You didn't believe... Oh! a dud! When I knew your past I said to myself "he didn't deserve that... I would never leave him". Alas in the end, I was left like a baby puppy left in the rain to die. (firugatively speaking hehehe) 1 year I thought things would change. My heart's beating would finally end its pain. But no! Oh how could this be? How could I still be inlove with thee????!!!! Love, a profoundly mysterious feeling that sulks deep within one's heart. Ma...
