Th editorial group is talking about an event. One graphic artist was contemplating whether he’ll go or not.

One of our EICs jokingly asked him: Sino ang ka-date mo ha?

To which our (really eccentric) GA replied: Si kalungkutan…

Gawd, emo mode! Gano’n talaga s’ya. Weird.

We all laughed.

One of our funny artists was on his usual joke mode. While admiring himself on his latest feat of being involved in various sports, he proudly said…

Uy, ang galing ko. Gayahin ko nga sarili ko.

Wow! Such self-esteem. I wish I can copy myself also.

Here’s another quote I found on the Net. Medyo enigmatic ang dating:

I’m pessimistic but I don’t lose hope.

Wow! Such irony. I think I’m also like this. Haha!

While traveling with my siblings on a car to some far away place, my older brother, who’s sitting on the backseat with my sisters and I, was eyeing the road intently. My younger brother sitted on the passenger seat was dozing off. He said, “Matutulog muna nga ako. Anlayo pa nito eh.”

My older brother, who’ll take the wheel once our driver gets sleepy, said “O sige mabuti yan para may kasama akong gising mamaya pag ako na nagdri-drive.”

My younger brother (who by far exceeds us on being a pilosopo) replied, “Bakit, feeling mo naman makakatulog sina ate pag ikaw na ang nag-drive!”

Good point.

My older brother has this kaskasero reputation so we were awake the whole time he was behind the wheel. We’re even giving him pointers on what road to take, on when to slow down and if there’s a hump or bump on the road. Kami na hindi marurunong magdrive.

Isang matinding linya na binitawan ng isang kaibigang matinding mag-joke (ng corny) sa isang matinding adventure sa Laguna:

“Pagbalik ko sa Maynila, kailangan ko ng blood transplant!”

Hindi kami sure kung sa pagkakataong iyon ay nagjo-joke parin siya. Well, good luck sa gagawa ng TRANSPLANT ng dugo mo! hehehe…

I was organizing (daw) my things over the weekend when I stumbled upon this old notebook I used to write my cp inbox’s quotes on when I was in second year college. (Gano’n pa ako ka-mushy sa mga texts na natatanggap ko.) Of course, most of the quotes are about the usual topics: life, love, and friendship. Some of them are funny and some are damn serious. Well, these ones I’m sharing here are, er, uncategorized because of the meanings and feelings behind. Read on and laugh (or rather, reminisce) with me. Haha!

Nanaginip ako kagabi. Di mo na daw ako mahal. Napaiyak ako dahil dito. Pero pagkagising ko, bigla akong natawa. Naisip ko, di mo naman talaga ako mahal diba?
Kamusta naman ang pagiging madrama nito! But this usually happens right? Not the dreaming part. The unrequited love part. Pero ano ba ang magagawa mo, hija? Not meant for you kaya move on. Don’t have nightmares about it. Okay, I know, madaling sabihin, sobrang hirap gawin.

Ang tagal kitang hinintay pero di ko na kaya. Pasensya ka na ha. Nagmahal na ako ng iba pero makakatulong kaya sa’yo kung sasabihin kong “Kaya ko syang iwan para sa’yo?”
First and foremost, asshole and taong nakaisip nito. Kung mahal mo, hihintayin mo. You wouldn’t settle for who’s there. Dahil aside from the fact na unfair sa taong sinabihan mong hihintayin mo (unless pinaasa ka n’ya sa wala), unfair din sa taong ginagawa mong panakip-butas! Wow! Such a reaction huh?! Haha!

Kapag wala na ako, siguro di yun kawalan sa’yo. Di yun makakaapekto sa’yo pero gusto ko lang malaman mo… happy ako. Bakit? Kasi kahit minsan sa buhay ko, nakilala ko yung isang tulad mo.
Oh gosh, will the mushiness and lying please stop. You know, this is bullshit. You don’t tell someone you’re happy and okay to project an image of strength. (Don’t imitate me. Chaka! Haha!) You don’t really mean saying this. Because you know that all you want to do is know him/her not for a moment but be with him/her during your lifetime.

You eased the pain when I faked the wound. You calmed me down when I faked the mood. You were instantly there when I faked the call. But why didn’t you catch me? I didn’t fake the fall.
Lola, mga bata pa lang tayo, binasa na sa atin ang kuwento ng The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Sana naman natutunan mo na ang lesson dun.

If only one star would fall everytime I miss you, then all the stars in heaven would be gone. Don’t wonder if there are no stars tonight. It’s your fault coz you made me miss you a lot.
Ay nako, for me, this is too much. Hopeless romantic ako (minsan) pero ayoko naman ng ganito ka-mushy. What do you think of this quote, sweet or mushy?

I told you what I thought about each quote. You tell me what went on that head of yours while reading them. Are these quotes worth sharing o ibaon na lang natin sa limot? Hay… Kung bakit naman kasi ako naglinis ng baul!

I was at our reception area when one of our managers came with a look of confusion on his face. He was complaining about something, which I couldn’t really grasp. Obviously, his assistant couldn’t understand what he’s been babbling about also.

So his assistant, who’s been listening to his rants (maybe fed up already) finally said, “Ikaw kasi eh, ang weird mo.”

The manager stopped his rantings and instead said,

“Halika nga dito, lumapit ka, para pag sinipa kita eh tumilapon ka ng mas malayo.”

Hahaha.

While looking at pictures of a former co-worker’s first-born baby, our receptionist said, “Ang cute cute n’ya oh. Bilog na bilog yung ulo n’ya.”

One of our artists agreed. “Oo naman bilog yan. Eh syempre, may ulo bang square?!”

We laughed.

At kailangan pa n’yang humirit ulit: “Ano yan, si SpongeBob?!”

Ang masasabi ko lang, cute din si SpongeBob! Hahaha!

Our Team went to Avilon Zoo not so long ago. Daming animals! (ah, eh.. zoo kasi yon) At ang dami ring crazy moments. Get a load of these:

Person 1: Edible ba yan? (Malayan Tapere) 
Person 2: Oo, pag niluto.
(makasagot lang eh!)

Person 1: Para silang malalaking talipapa! (tilapia)
(ang tilapia nga naman ay mabibili rin sa talipapa..)

Person 1: Ayun o, leotard! (leopard)
(magkatunog, diba?)

Tour guide: This is the Burmese Rock Python. It measures 16 feet..(blah, blah, blah) Madali ‘yang i-tame
Person 1: But Why?!
(eh bakit nga naman?!)

Tour guide: Ito po ang bubuli.
Person 1: Hindi ba yan yung nagiging bayawak?
Tour guide: Ay, hindi po..
(sige, patulan natin yon..)

Disclaimer: Ganito talaga kami lagi mag-usap. At ganito rin mag-remark ang karamihan sa amin. Walang kinalaman ang environment at ang zoo air sa mga comments na nabasa niyo. Hindi naman kami palaging sablay. Minsan-minsan lang, kapag kinakailangan.

While having lunch at the office… we were talking about the times we were left on school field trips, retreats, and excursions. In fairness, I don’t have any experience like that. I’m such an OC freak that I hate being late. Especially on events like that.

One of my officemates, known for her tardiness, was sharing an experience in her sad tone. An officemate sympathized with her…

“Minsan, kailangan mo lang talagang maiwan…”

Hayop. Makabagbag-damdaming linya mula sa puso ah.

Well, I continued her line… “Lalo na kung palagi kang late.” 

Kalaya, anong comment mo sa tardiness? Hahaha!

My brother is one hell of a good sarcasm freak (nagmana sa ate). We were on the car and on our way to Robinson’s Ermita to meet a family acquaintance. We’re talking about the boyfriend of someone we hate.

My sister said, “Bakit, may hitsura naman s’ya ah.” (Hindi ko alam kung sarcastic rin sya or what.)

Silence. (I was trying so hard to keep quiet but my mind was screaming, “lahat naman ng tao may hitsura ah.”)

Our younger brother was not that discreet, “Pangit nga lang.”

Kamusta naman ang hirt na yan. Kinabog ako. Talk about versions. 

I was listening to early morning radio when I chanced upon the wacky tandem of Nicole Eala and Chris Tsuper. This pair is soo funny (well sometimes, corny and below the belt pero okay na rin). If you’re still on your ‘inaantok pa ako’ mode, better tune in to them and you’ll surely have a wacky wake-up call.

Anyway, they were having a conversation about partners kanina. They were exchanging insane ideas about couples, relationships, breakups, and kung ani-anik pa. I can’t barely hide my grins. Well, kiber, wala namang nakatingin sa akin. Then, there was this one hirit from Nicole that made me laugh… It’s an old statement but still funny.

She began by saying this line she quoted from one guy… “Pangako, ikaw lang ang babaeng naisip kong pakasalan”… and she followed that with… “Utang na loob! Pag sinabihan kayo ng ganyan, wag kayong maniwala!”

Hahaha! Kayo, bibilib ba kayo sa lalakeng magsasabi ng ganyan? Kalorkeyyy…
