Pwera Usog Film

After a few supernatural scenes, I told my co-audience, "Napaka unbelievable naman ng movie na to… Naka-jacket yung movie eh nasa Pilipinas."

 

Zanjoe Cut

Over breakfast, I told them, "Hindi pumayag yung barbero na gupit ko eh pareho ng ke Zanjoe."

"Dahil malaki mukha mo?" Ronald said.
"Malaki nga yung mukha mo. Maliit kasi yung face ni Zanjoe," ate Weng said.
"Teka ha. Wala pa akong sinabing sa mukha. Yung buhok nya kasi nakasiksik sa anit. Sa akin daw buhaghag. Nag-judge kayo agad."

 

You All Look The Same

Asheri, my Sri Lankan colleague called Abeen, one of our Indian colleagues, "Ullas!" as she mistook him for another Indian colleague.
"Racist!" He kiddingly told her.
I butted in and jokingly told Abeen, "Well… you all look the same."
"Heeeeyyyyy!" they all screamed.

 

Kalahating Pangarap ni Ness

In just a few weeks our couple friends, Ness, a Filipina and Sef, a half-Syrian, half-Pinoy is about to celebrate their 2nd wedding anniversary.
Their love story brings me back to the statement Ness used to tell me…
"Pangarap talaga ng tatay ko na makapangasawa ako ng foreigner."

Before her marriage, I told her, "Ness, matutupad na ang kalahati ng pangarap ng tatay mo."

 

Erwan Heussaff Vs Panlasang Pinoy

Erwan recently uploaded on his channel his version on how to cook Tinola. There was a long pep talk and update on his life before he started cooking.
During the "pep talk", ate Weng screamed, "Dali na! Luto na!"
Ronald and I looked at each other, "Ate, talagang pinagmamadali mo si Erwan ha."

"Ang tagal kasi. Si Panlasang Pinoy deretso luto agad."

 

Game of Thrones Live

I told my wife to wake me up at 6 am early Monday morning for the early viewing Game of Thrones. I just hate to be spoiled so I had to catch before everybody else.

The next morning…

“Hon,” while tapping me, “Game of Thrones na. Gising na.”

 

We were watching Jessica Soho last Sunday.

Me: Yan yung Filipina na iniwan nya yung dalawa nyang anak na lalaking half Korean half Filipino sa Seoul.

Ronald: Ay bakit sya umuwi?

Me: Ayan makinig ka.

Jessica Soho: …Pinaniniwalaan na malas ang ikatlong anak na lalaki sa mga Koreano kaya sinuggest ng pamilya na ipalaglag ang bata…

Ronald: (choked) 

Me: Bakit?

Ronald: Pangatlong anak na lalaki ako! Si Atong din!

 

Bus Chase

Bing dropped by our house but left early so we were not able to catch her as we took our time working out in the gym. 

“Si Bing?” I asked Ate Weng.

“Hinabol yung bus (papuntang Ras Al Khaima),” ate answered.

“Naku! Mapapagod sya! Mabilis ang bus. Sana trapik para mahabol n’ya,” I answered.

 

Gamoana Of Thrones

We were watching episode 1 of the 7th season of GOT when this scene flashed. 

Marclee, who has seen Moana for nth time screamed, “Away away!!!” He was referring to the Moana theme WE KNOW THE WAY.

Here’s a screen grab on one of the scenes from the music video.

I laughed so hard!

Me: Hindi! Ano ka? Pari?
