BerryMore for Miggy’s Classmate

Miggy told her mom, “Mommy, next time daw Berrymore daw ang dalhin kong J.Co Donut sabi ng classmate ko ayaw nya raw ng Glaze.”
“Choosy pa sya! Nanghihingi lang sya.”
“Sabi ko nga po sa kanya, ‘Kay Mommy yun!'” It was Tem’s favorite.

 

Dati MV

So I collected in one video some of the photos of my past Philippine Vacation. Everybody (means all my sisters from Japan and US) came home to celebrate Rafa’s christening, Miggy’s 6th birthday and a few other family bonding moments.

Nanay called this morning. She just saw it.
“Choy, napanood ko yung mga picture,” she started, “Nakakaiyak!”
“Nay! Bawal ho umiyak mandadamay nanaman kayo eh,” I pleaded.
“Parang yung commercial ng McDonald’s dati yung unti-unti nawala mga anak nila.”
“NAAAAY!”

In the comments section of the facebook link, Tem commented, “Kuya, si Tatay galit kay Nanay. Kasi ayaw tigilan yung video mo pero iyak naman ng iyak.”

 

Bungee Butchee

“Bungee jump tayo ha?” I asked Mitch.
“Iniisip ko palang kinakabahan na ako,” she answered, “Takot talaga ako sa heights.”
“O sige… one floor lang ang tatalunin natin,” then I thought about it, “Parang nagbigti tayo na paa lang ang nakatali.”

 

Kulangot Friends

Apparently, when I tweeted this message on 8 August, some egos were stepped on. This was about Mitch’s other set of friends (old colleagues).

Myrlanie asked me last night, “Ano kami ni Matmat, kuya? Kulangot!?”

 

Aspen

 

My Office

“Orlee,” Eugene, a new kabayan colleague, called me. He asked me a question and approached my desk.
After answering his question, I told him, “Sige na, makakaalis ka na sa opisina ko.”
“Isang cabinet lang opisina na?” he wondered.

 

Movie Buff Family

I’m the resident bookworm of the family and I push my nieces to read good books every once in awhile.

“Bakit di kayo nahilig magbasa?” I asked my sisters Ate Mimi, Ate Richie and Tem.
“More on movies kasi kami,” they all answered.
“Weh!?” I asked them, “Sige nga. Kung talagang movie buff kayo… Magbigay nga kayo ng pangalan ng isang direktor. Isa lang!” I dared them.
“Umm… Steven Spielberg!” They proudly answered.
“Nay! Napaka-given naman nun! Iba pa!” I dared them. I was hoping they would answer Steven Sodebergh, Martin Scorcese,  Chris Nolan or even just Woody Allen.
They were silent for quite a while when Tem screamed, “Binibining Joyce Bernal!”

 

Mabait Girlfriend

“Mabait ba yun?” My mom asked me about my girlfriend.
“Opo naman,” I told her, “Alangan namang sabihin ko sa inyong — WALANGYA PO YUN.”

 

Ang Corny Naman ng Joke Mo!

After telling a joke, my girlfriend told me, “Ang corny naman ng joke mo,” after laughing from the joke herself.
I then told her, “Kapag nasabi mo yan ng di ka tumatawa, babayaran kita ng 100.”
we then agreed on the rules:
1. Look me straight in the eye.
2. Say “Ang corny naman ng joke mo” in the most poker face possible.
3. Count for 10 seconds before asking for the prize money.

She tried to catch me once.

Ronald, Mitch and I was in the mall last weekend.
I told both of them, “Samahan n’yo ako sa bookstore, bibili ako ng book.”
“Syempre! Alangan namang sa hardware,” Ronald sarcastically answered.
I saw Mitch’s face practicing her poker face.
Before she could even tell it, I stopped her and told her, “Hon, ‘di naman joke yun.”

 

Krithi’s Life

My colleague always tell me, “ORLEE, I’M SLEEPY,” when she arrives in the morning, before lunch, after lunch, by 3 PM… Basically the whole day.

I then realized a 9gag picture and showed her this.

 

She laughed.

Everytime she tried to say, “Orlee, I’m slee…” she would stop herself and laugh out loud.

 

Quickmelt Pasalubong

Whenever someone say QUICKMELT I only have one thing in mind — the cheese. Quickmelt Cheese.
Little did I know that there is an ensaymada brand with the same name QUICKMELT.
That was not a problem not until recently…

“Hon, ang hiling ko lang sayo ay Quickmelt (ensaymada),” Mitch requested from me when I was back home in the Philippines.
“Ok.”

When I arrived, I proudly handed over one block of cheese to my girl, “Hon, Quickmelt!”
“Keso!? Ensaymada ang request ko!” she answered laughing.
“Akala ko pa naman may ibe-bake ka!”
