welllll.... Filipinos do say doggy style for swimming, don't they?
I do..did...won't anymore, yikes! It had nothing to do with my pronunciation but with my husband's hearing. I was telling him this joke about grandpa and grandma... Me: The first night grandma wore a t-back to bed and grandpa said nothing. Asawa: She wore what? Me: A t-back, sexy underwear? Asawa: They wear tea bags as underwear???? Me: No honey, it's not the Lipton kind, they'd have to knit those together. That's too difficult to market. Here's the rest of the joke.: Grandma wore a t-back to bed and grandpa said nothing. The next night, she wore nothing and grandpa said, "Where'd you get that wrinkled thingie?"..... ( Ano ba yang suot mo, ang kusot-kusot!) I actually never got to finish the joke ( just funnier in Tagalog, can't translate it properly), because we got stuck with the 'tea bag'. Quote:

Dress of Love An old woman went to visit her daughter and she found her naked, waiting for her husband. The mother asks the daughter:"What are you doing naked?" The daughter responds:"This is the dress of love." When the mother returns home, she strips naked and waits for her husband. When her husband arrives, he asks her, "What are you doing naked, woman?" She responds:"This is the dress of love." He stares at her and says, "Well, go iron it!" |

Yeah, I saw one there that must have been 6 inches long easy, and I hadn't really seen one before, certainly not one more then an inch long.

They do carry some disease and they are very hard to kill or get rid of once you have them. It is true that a ****roach can live without it's head for a few days. Also true that the first thing it will do when it touches a human is to run off and clean itself.

Way back in the Philippines we have a commercial for insectide to kill ****roaches. Its a chalk form not liquid spray product by Baygon. Its a funny commercial about a bisaya maid who is ask by her amo or boss to kill the roaches knowing that the maid know what to do with the chalk insecticide, she did write MAMATAY KAYONG MGA IPIS "Die all you roaches"!using the chalk products on the wall to inscribe exactly what her boss has told her to do
I ask my dutch bf is he knows how to speel ****ROACH since i need to look for dictionarys help to know the correct speeling, I am somehow suffering from brain drain with my english profeciency from the time im learning DUTCH language, i feel such a stupid to think ****ROACH is spelled as Crackroach |

I have always been afraid that someday I'd kiss Yhiet, and bump into a little bug leg stuck between her teeth.
Fortunately, she promised me that she doesn't eat anything with more than four legs. But that hasn't improved our communication. One night in Hong Kong we were raiding the minibar for dinner. I'd picked out some things, and I asked her what she wanted. "Lace," she said. I'd been saying "huh?" and "can you spell that?" all day, and I didn't want to ask her again. So I looked back at the stuff on the shelf, trying to figure out what she wanted. After a moment, I saw a package - "Lay's." I handed it to her and said, "we pronounce that 'laze.'" |
