Happy Talking

Being an extrovert means being affable too. Talking and expressing have become vital to me, whether sensible or none. When random things go on, you'll start having weird conversations and sarcasms if your friend's demented or the other way around. 

** My sister and I having a lunch... (chicken is the viand, that's why it's all about chickens)

Ava: hey! What's the difference between chicken and hen?

Miggy: chicken is a male chicken, while hen is a female chicken that lay eggs, or maybe, chicken is a native one, and hen is a... uhm.... a... hen?

Ava: WHAT??? what the f*ck are you talking about? Stupid!

Miggy: really? Well differentiate them.

Ava: (paused) chicken is what we are currently eating, while hen is what we see outside.

Miggy: ha!-ha!-ha! very funny, nice try kiddo!!

Ava: oh well stupid guy, what is a rooster?

Miggy: roosters do cockfight.

Ava: roosters are the nagsasabong..

Miggy: did I f*cking say that? Para kang gago!

** During our outing. Me and a girl-friend of ours grilling barbecues and hotdogs..

Friend: aaayyy! wala na! nahulog na! taenes.
Miggy: Alin?
Friend: yung hotdog!!
Miggy: wala pa namang isang minuto yan oh! Kapag nahulog ang pagkain sa lupa at wala namang sauce, quite edible pa yan. Pulutin mo na! Isa, dalawa, tatlo, pwede pa yan!
Friend: kadiri kaya, may germs na eh! kahit ba wala pang 5 segundo, mabilis kumalat ang germs no!
Miggy: De itapon mo! Jusmiyo 'tong taong 'to, pinahihirap ang buhay. Pati ba naman yan pinoproblema pa.
(all of a sudden, she's flip-flopping the hotdog back on the griller)
Miggy: oh! bakit binabalik mo sa ihawan?
Friend: sayang eh! baka mamatay yung germs pag ininit :)
Miggy: (I was like, OH F*CKING HUMAN'S PSYCH!)

** While buying fruits in a public market, with this lady vendor and a friend of mine..

Miggy: hi, goodafternoon, how much for the apple?
Vendor: eto hijo, isang piraso, sampung piso.
Miggy: no, no per kilo po (slang the po, as pow!)
Vendor: ay, ano ba 'to? Foreigner?
Friend: naku! ale sorry ho, Filipino ho yan..........
(then I looked at my friend with wide eyes, tryin' to say "ideny mo")
Friend: kaso ho lumaki sa America, kaya medyo di pa ho sanay ng Tagalog.
Vendor: ah kaya pala! mukhang Koreano ato.
Friend: may pagkasingkit ho kasi diba? saka yung syle ng buhok, at yung kulay.
(then the vendor's kids started looking at me with an observing eye)
Miggy: (controlling my laugh, pretending that I don't understand them)
Friend: salamat ho.
Miggy: thank you po (slang)
Friend: gago ka! Mapapahamak pa tayo sa ginagawa mo eh. English ka pa ha iiwan na kita! Sa palengke tagalog ka sa mall ka lang mag-foreigner.
Miggy: haha nakakatawa ka! Kabadong-kabado ka. Sarap kaya mantrip. Saka wala namang nagtataka eh.

I guess this bearing's pretty much deceiving, that's why. Haha

** Chatting to a guy friend, talking about Snooki Polizzi being killed on twitter...

Miggy: what's wrong with the twitter users? Killing someone who's actually kicking.
Alex: who?
Miggy: they killed Snooki on Twitter, on trending topics, Worldwide "RIP SNOOKI"
Alex: Snooki? Snooki Serna? yung nagblusang itim?
Miggy: Snooki Serna ka diyan! Snooki Polizzi, Snooki from the Jersey Shores. If si Serna 'to, she's surely a famous local actress for the foreign people to talk about her. Utak dre! Utak! Hahaha
Alex: Wow! Talino mo eh! Who's she?
Miggy: google her
Alex: (googling) don't recognize her at all, haha! Malaki dede, mukhang pokpok. bitch yata 'to eh.
Miggy: hahahaha! Maka lait. Nalib*gan ka naman!
Alex: Baka? Di ko trip mga mukhang sabog.

** While watching TV with my friend

Miggy: Powerpuff girls na naman pinapanood mo?
Anna: favorite ko kaya 'to. Di nakakasawa... May naiisip lang ako, Miggyboy.
Miggy: What is it?
Anna: It was reserved long time ago, kung pinapanood natin 'to ngayon, siguro dalaga na sila Blossom, Bubbles at Buttercup.
Miggy: hahaha! Kasing tanda na natin, ganun?
Anna: yuh! Like in 20's.
Miggy: I didn't know that animated characters do grow like real ones do.
Anna: who knows?

** Conversing with a Korean living around the vicinity in Paranaque

Mr. Khang: what are those girls doing with other Koreans?
Miggy: I don't know. Maybe they're dating or living together.
Mr. Khang: Aist! No! Girls here in the Philippines are butterflies
Miggy: huh? What do you mean butterflies?
Mr. Khang: Paru-paro. You know, daming lalake.
Miggy: like prostitues? No! That's not true. Don't say that. Not all are paru-paro.
Mr. Khang: kaya kami nauubos pera kasi paru-paro sila
Miggy: anak ng pucha! Head butt-in kaya kita o pa-deport sa Pilipinas?
Mr. Khang: I don't understand, baka ako mura mo na.
Miggy: never mind, I said don't generalize all. Be wiser the next time you'd get a girl.
Mr. Khang: (talking in Korean)
Miggy: langya! Ano kaya'ng pinagsasasabi nito? (May marinig lang ako'ng shi bal, gae se ki ya o ji ral ha ne, makakatikim ka din sa'kin ng Tagalog na mura.)

Thank You Santo Padre, Papa Francesco!

From the Filipinos who really admire you, we love you Pope Francis! 

Thank you for the heartfelt and emotional visit in the Philippines. It was indeed remarkable and historical. May your teachings and love for us unite each and everyone of us, that we always see the good in our neighbors and fellowmen. Truly blessed and nurtured. God has made you His instrument. We're so inspired with the humility and compassion you've shown to the poor and in need. I can't explain the feeling when I saw you  few meters away from our view, your radiance enlightened us and covered us with love and hope. I almost cry 'cause of too much happiness and there's this unexplained feeling after 'cause seeing you is incomparable and uplifting. I can literally feel you and the ease you give and I feel blessed even afar, until now. All the hardships and jostling in the crowd are worth the while.

Being in the modern and new generation of personage, I must say that we are really lucky to experience this. The crowd who followed and attended all the activities of Pope really amazed me, it's sensational that's why it makes me proud to be a Filipino. Everyone showed unity, from poor to rich, adults to young, they didn't mind the sudden changes of weather just to see the Highness. Have a safe flight going back to Rome. Til we meet again. God bless you Papa Francesco! We'll always pray for you. Mahal kayo ng mga Pilipino!

To all the Filipinos, we've become saints for 5 days so I'm hoping that it won't change now that Pope Francis isn't around. He may not be around but his principles and powerful words will remain in our nation. He really believes that the vitality of the Church relies in every Filipino so let's make it happen. 

Viva Il Papa, Papa Francesco!

You'll always have a special place in our hearts and we know that we have in yours too. 

Thank you Lester for coming along. It was a rough ride and tiring marathon but we made it! We've seen the holiness of Santo Papa! It's fulfilling and unparalleled. :)

Welcome to the Philippines Pope Francis!

Bienvenido Jorge Mario Bergoglio, our beloved Pope Francis!

The Pope of the New World just arrived in the Philippines yesterday (January 15, 2015) and is set to have religious activities and meetings from today up to January 18, and his departure is on 19th of the present month.

To this day, my enthusiasm towards religion and religious stuff is on extreme since I grew up in a religious family. I can't explain the happiness and thrill I feel now that Pope Francis is in the land of the most religious country in Asia. When the late Pope Saint John Paul II had his State visit and World Youth Day in the Philippines, I was 3 years of age and too innocent to recognize the full implication of his holiness 'cause that was back in 1995. I couldn't contain myself even though I was just sitting here and watching the rock star pope behind this electrical tube. I can literally feel the extremity of Pope Francis' presence as if like I was already blessed. It's overpowering. Goosebumps!
(I badly want to see him physically! Ugh!)

Pope meets our president, PNoy and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle. And can you imagine the crowd of people waiting for the Pope's mobile to pass by? Just WOW!! Indeed love from Filipinos for the world's Catholic Leader.

Manila Cathedral's beauty. Today, Pope Francis held his first ever holy mass in the Philippines' most historical church.

Pope Francis: "Do you love me?"

People: "YES!"

Pope Francis: (laughs) "...Jesus' said"

He smiles so sweet and he won't stop.

I must say that our today's generation is very lucky and truly blessed to witness and experience this once in a lifetime encounter with the Pope. This is priceless!

The Philippines bear witness to the youthfulness and vitality of the Church.

And it's real! The Pontifical's first ever Tagalog tweet.

Thank you people's Pope for visiting us and recognizing the faith of every Filipinos. It's a clear evidence that your compassion humbles and defines you for showing humility and simplicity, and for being close to the poor. You are the very instrument of God that reminds us how His love works in many ways and that it lives. Please pray for us! Bless this country.

As the Santo Papa visits our nation, we can't restrain the dialogue of the other religious group about the Papal visit. Permission to post this but please do respect our Leader as we respect yours. If you hate our religion, where do you think that hatred comes? Is it because we have statues, or because of the controversies our priests have borne? It is the person who commits mistake not the religion itself that makes the member unqualified. Remember, Judas once betrayed Jesus and had sinned, but the organization of Christ isn't sinful even though Judas is a member, meaning, our priests may have sinned but it doesn't generalize the whole community of Catholic, therefore it's their very own conscience. If your religion is the promise of God to the world and people, do you think He'll permit it to be indiscreet and vilified? Why do you recruit and persuade people and not let them choose and justify their faith in whatever religion he thinks is suitable? Why do you say that your religion is the only way to be in God's heaven, and that if we don't submit ourselves upon your care and glory we'll be burned in hell? Do you think you'll be glorified when you insult and vilify religions? Wow! Christ has never deprived one's supposition and faith 'cause at the end of the day, those who truly believe in Him, who has strong relationship with Him and who does things according to His will, will matter in heaven and not the religion where you are affiliated. Think twice before you speak on behalf of your so-called sacred religion.

"If we take away poor from the Gospel, we won't understand the whole message of Jesus Christ" - Pope Francis (during his homily in Manila Cathedral)

Long live Santo Papa! We love you!

New Year, New You

School has started its whirlpool-like synopsis today and I really felt indolent earlier since I got used of the long vacation which I really took advantage of pigging out back and forth, but hell I needed to pack my things and sit for a longer period of time listening to distinct questions and discussions.

It has been the common layout when you get in school to share your new year's resolution which is sort of fibber that goes against yourself just to have one even when you really don't have.

Oh well, I do have my own resolutions and hopefully, I could take stand to these this 2015.

On School

•  I'm gonna give less opinion regarding our school activities. This is somewhat negative to deprive myself but I'm living with the "less talk, less misjudgment" catchphrase. They see your one mistake rather than seeing your innumerable good deeds and help.
• No more babbling in class.
• I will leave the "Manyana habit" (mamaya na) behind.
• My classmates call me as an "activist" because I use to oppose countless plans from our instructors, a querulous to be specific, so being a good follower will do.
• No more verbal bullying. Peace! I'm so sorry. I was under pressure that time.
• Avoid being too much brood and take things with proper assessment.
• I will save money and refuse to buy irrelevant things.
• I'm gonna eat on time.
• I'm gonna be patient on waiting for the next class even though there's a 3 to 4-hour interval. Haha!
• Worry less and smile all the time even things get worst.

I'm a last-minute student, meaning, I work hard during last terms. It's a negative trait but I think I won't change it. My brain cells work rapidly during rush hour.

On Life

• Less carbohydrates. Tummy's getting bigger. Ugh!
• Will do exercises without grievance.
• I'm gonna be frugal, as in really!
• Say no to indolence and make my mom proud! Hahaha
• I'm somewhat gullible so I'll be at less.
• I'll take things serious if it requires a lot of attention and focus.
• I'm gonna be wiser when it comes to love. Say no to stupidity!
• I will become less irascible or cranky.
• Start diminishing bad words. I guess eradicating them is much better.
• I'm gonna be optimistic no matter what happens.

I won't rely on the angular changes of months and won't probably blame the period of time for all the mishaps in my life because it's all my doing and exertion, so stop saying "January please be good to me", 'cause month has nothing to do with your productivity, it's all in you. 

I'm hoping to see very kind doing these things without brutalizing myself too much. Haha! Let's seize this year!
