Samoa’s Non-Day

Learning about the news that Samoa lost a full day in order to move to the future’s timezone, I told Atong and Marish, “Samoa nawalan ng isang buong raw.”
I saw their eyes grew immediately and said, “Anong nangyari!? Nawala s’ya sa loob ng mall?” That’s the only time when I realized that they heard, ‘Sa MOA (Mall of Asia) nawala ng isang buong raw.’
I laughingly answered, “Yung bansa! Hindi yung mall sa Pilipinas!”
When they finally realized their error, they told me, “Akala naman namin kung bakit s’ya nawala!”
I jokingly answered, “May ahas daw sa dressing room sa mga ladies section.”
