-my father goes to court-
Grateful of what he has, the narrator of the story is very proud of his father
not only because they are COMPLETE, but because, his father managed to prove to the whole barrangay that he has done nothing wrong.
It was wednesday when i met up with my friends and just talk until we could not talk no more, and then we visited Jacque, yes special mention, because she said she was not allowed to go for some reason. So we surprised her.. and we got what we want, she was SURPRISED. We could not convice her to go out because she has not taken a bath yet. OMG. And so, we let her take that bath. Just to make sure i waited for her, and literally threw the papers infront of me, and she said
“basahin mo, kailangan yan sa litfili” haha.
so i read it, it took me 3 times to understad the 1st paragraph, and finally at the third time i got intrested. But honestly, i got dissapointed by how the story ended, i was expecting more of like, a CSI scene where more characters would join in and investigate what is wrong with the rich family, of why they are so sick and it turns out that the rich guy is accusing the poor father of stealing their happiness? Or maybe because i haven't read the autobiography of the author and jst couldn't understand what he wants to say to the readers. But nobody can steal someone's happiness except you are a need of help from the professionals.
-how my brother leon brought home a wife-
The story was laid very smoothly with how it started and to how it ended. Baldo, one of the characters in the story, narrated of how literally, his brother leon brought home his wife. And lucky me, as i was about to finish the story, the last page was missing, and i got hooked up with the story, i texted my friends if they can tell me what happened at the end,and she texted back
“hindi ko pa nababasa eh, bakit? “
and my dreams were over, EXAGE? Haha. But yeah, i was dissappointed of my stupidity. The next day, i got the chance to read the last paragraph, and i was waiting for a grand ending of the grand story but i did not get it. Of why Baldo and Leon's father wants them drive through waig and not camino real, of how Baldo describes every move of Maria, the wife of Leon. Afteri read the last paragraph, i was like a computer, my brain is still loading each sentence of that very paragraph. But then i thought, maybe sir Manuel just wanted the readers to realize how filipino families accept the NEWEST member of the family.
-blah blah blurr-
i read from a book in the library of DeLasalle-CAnlubnag bout ways to know if you are a filipino,by doing the common manerisms that we, filipinos , jst can not do. The thoughts were funny and the others were just plain exaggeration.
I've searched the web and got this url :
http://www.jeepneygang.com/bola/pinoysgn.htm
u might be intrested on some of the points they've mentioned there. nyhoo.
I was sitting in the cafeteria all by myself, waiting for my friends. I did not mean to eve's drop to random conversations by students
but i just did.>:)
“na ano mo na to? “ and the other would say “oo nandun na nga ako sa ano eh”
“nasan na yung ano?” and the other would reply “ nandun sa sa sa sa sa ,bsta dun!”
these are just SOME of the common conversations i heard . Sounds a bit disturbing but we ALL can relate to these not so non-sense conversations. usisero/usisera as to what we call it. We can't hide the fact that even if you deny you are listening to a conversation, u jst can not hear what they are talking about and gossip these things to your friends and the conversation would end up as an intriga causing BIG, BIG problems, especially for the media. It's funny how we are able to understand each other with not just the filipino languange, but with the EXTRAORDINARY language.
One great characteristic that i am very proud of is that we don't loose hope to anything agad-agad . We see problems with lots and lots of solutions, and when one solution did not work,
“ may pag-asa pa, may awa ang diyos...”
and we never forget to be so magalang even when we talk to people we hardly know.
And i must say that every one of us, today, in this century that we have grown so much since then. We now are capable of standing up for our own thoughts and opinions and we have enough knowledge to protect our selves. Sadly, these good points became the very reason why we misunderstood each other. And every year, crime rates are increasing. With the help of technology and lack of education among the society we have right now.
but still, i can't deny the truth that i so love being a filipino.
