My old Nokia 6600 phone got infected with a virus. Though the phonebook was saved, some of the SMS (Short Messaging Service text) was lost.

 

It was a good thing I kept all my good text messages in my computer. Most of these are from Vanessa, some from my mother and Ann Janet.

 

 

SIRANG KALIKASAN

 

Sabi ng hangin, mabait ka.

Sabi ng dagat, matalino ka.

Sabi ng ilog at bundok, cute ka.

Tama nga talaga ako –

Sirang sira na talaga ang kalikasan.

  

 

 

THE BIBLICAL BASIS FOR OKTOBERFEST

 

Give strong drink to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in anguish. Let them drink and remember their misery no more (Proverbs 31: 6 – 7).

 

Bible na yung nagsabi — Oktoberfest na!

 

 

 

 

TRUE SUPER HEROES

 

Superman isn’t brave. You can’t be brave if you are indestructible. It’s everyday people like me and you that are brave, knowing we can easily be defeated but still continuing forward. That’s true bravery. (Batman, The Insecure Hero)

 

 

 

 

CLEAN MONEY

 

LOI: Dear, bakit mo naman kinakalikot yung mga damit mo bago mo ilagay sa labahan?

 

ERAP: Hinahanap ko kung may mga barya akong naiwan sa bulsa. Mahirap na kasi kung –

 

LOI: Kung ano, dear?

 

ERAP: Baka makasuhan kasi ako ng money laundering!

 

 

  

 

HOLDING HANDS

 

Sometimes you feel that problems are so heavy.

Sometimes it’s hard for you and you can say you can’t do it anymore.

Just look at the sky.

Maybe there’s someone to lean on.

Or maybe, you can call me.

You’ll know that forever.

 

Holding hands!

I will not leave you!

 

(English version of Yeng Constantino’s Hawak Kamay)

 

 

RECOLLECTION OF MONEY

 

Nanay: Hello, anak? Naipadala ko na pala sa kartero ang P50,000.00 na pang-matrikula mo sa eskuwelehan. Ipinagbili na namin yung kalabaw natin eh. Ang mahal naman pala kapag automotive ang course mo. Atchaka nga pala, wala na nga pala tayong alagang baboy. Naipagbili na namin ng tatay mo para duon sa sinasabi mong project — Nokia N75 ba yun? Ang mahal naman anak ng project mo! Kasama na din duon yung baon mo na P7,000.00 para sa recollection niyo sa MOA. Saan ba yun? Siguro ang laking monasteryo.

 

 

 

 

RULES OF LIFE

 

It’s better to cross the line and suffer the consequences than to just stare at the line for the rest of your life. (Rules on Patintero or an excerpt from Everything I Learned in Life, I Learned in Patintero)
