A POIGNANT STORY

Reanne, our office secretary, made this comment when we crossed path somewhere inside the building where we work: 

“Kuya, isinama mo pala sa mga jokes mo yung dialog n’yo ni Zening. Star na star sa blog mo si Zening a!” 

Siguro, narinig ni Zening ang sinabi ni Reanne so she proceeded to my office and asked me, “Kuya Goddy, inilagay mo nga ba sa blog mo yung dialog natin?” 

“A, oo,” sagot ko naman. “Star na star ka nga roon, e!” 

“Talaga? Patingin nga! Pabasa naman!” 

In-access ko ang blog ko at ipinabasa sa kanya ang aming true-to-life dialog. Tuwang-tuwa siya. 

Since naka-open yung account ko sa isang social networking site, binasa na rin niya. When she came across the word “poignant”, she asked me, “Ano’ng ibig sabihin nito? Paano ba i-pronounce ito?” 

“A, iyan ba? Poignant. Ibig sabihin niyan, touching… nakakaantig ng damdamin. Moving… ganun.” 

“Ano nga uli ang basa riyan?” “Punta tayo sa gabbydictionary.com Sabi rito, ang pronounce diyan ay poyn’ yent. Just read it as though you’re reading a Tagalog word: poyn’ yent.” 

“Poyn’ yent. Poyn’ yent.” Inulit-ulit niya. 

Dahil itutuloy ko na’ng nahinto kong ginagawa sa computer pero nakaupo siya sa upuan ko, I told her, “O sige na, poyn’ yent ka!” 

She looked at me and said, “Minumura mo na yata ako, e!” 

“Hindi! ‘Di ba ibig sabihin nun ay moving? Pinapa-move kita!” 

“A, ganun ba? O sige, poyn’ yent ka rin!” Sabay tawa. “Hahahaha!”

WELCOME TO THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE

Hello friends!

Welcome to my second blog! This one contains jokes and other similar entries that are written in Taglish (Tagalog- English). Para maiba naman and to deviate from too serious topics. Para sa mga Pinoy ito at sa ibang lahing nakakaintindi ng Filipino.

Most of the posts that you will find here are true-to-life. True experiences ko. I hope you will find them funny and not corny. And if some posts appear to be "for adults only" (i.e., quite "green"), I hope you will find them not really offensive. Or if you will find them so, please do tell me (comments) so I can remove them.

Sana rin ay marami akong maisulat na jokes. Kasi, kaunti lang naman ang mga jokes ko. So, umpisahan na natin. Welcome uli and, read on...


Goddy
