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'.

sorry if this is going off topic but that joke reminds me of another joke.

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!"

OKay got another good one yesterday.

Some friends of ours are going to Hawaii

Wife, "Ate Nes say they rent a car and drive to Hawaii it is very expensive"

Me "Honey Ate Nes means they will rent a car when they get there"

Wife " No they rent the car and drive there Ate Nes say that"

Me " You can't drive to Hawaii you have to fly or take a Ship it is almost half way to the Philippines"

Wife " Maybe they rent the space on the Ferry and take the car"

Me " Well if they could do that why would they rent a car when they already have a new car ?

Wife " Maybe they have a bridge"

funny posts! Let me share my own funny story about ****ROACH it happened the first time my bf and i have been to tambuli resort at Cebu. He was about to use the tub when suddenly he was shouting and running with nothing but his birth suit back to the room when i asked him whats wrong i was thinking maybe there is a snake inside the bathroom then he started mumbling in broken word k-a-k-k-e-r-l-a-k... i said WHAT?! K-i-k-i-r-o-c-h? i said to myself what in the hell is that word? It sounded nasty though in order to understand better i sneak cautiously inside the bathroom and when i see whats in the tub it is a small ****roach and i begun to laugh as loud as i can imagine he was a lil bit furious of me laughing at him! I told him we have much bigger ones than that 1 and he said are you serious thats the biggest i ever seen! I started to LOL again thinking how can i big man be so scared with just a roach!

BTW my bf is a dutch man. Its only now that i am here in the Netehrlands that i realized that Kakkerlak is the dutch term for ****roach and its really a big deal for them to see roach since it is associated as disease carrier, its true i never seen still roach on my 3 months stay not even the small one!

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 embarassing that my dutch angel knows better english than i do now ... That is what I pay choosing a good loving dutchman but no regrets at all!!!

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.'"
