All in a Day's Work
Jett: Appendages? Diba sa libro yun?
Me: (with conviction) Hindi, appendage yun. Appendages, paa, kamay at etits!
Translation:
Jett: Appendages, that’s what you see in a book, right
Me: (With conviction) Nope that’s appendage. Appendages, foot, hands and penis.
_______________________________________________________
It’s a slow day at the office. Im accessing facebook, Loi is doing nothing, Jett is sleeping, Ana is ironing her hair and Karen is also doing her facebook thing.
Me: Loi, bantayan mo ha, baka me dumating na kalaban.
Loi: Ok
After a few minutes, one of our directors, Hero de Jesus entered the room.
Loi (on the verge of panic, singing ala Mariah Carey): There’s a Hero, if you look inside my heart!!!

One early morning, while walking back to the office after our break, Loi saw a big sign that says “NASA”.
Loi: Wow! Sosyal! Me NASA na pala dito! Me mga astronaut na tayo!
The sign actually says: NASA DIOS ANG AWA, NASA TAO ANG GAWA!

Broken Watch
I have a broken watch that Ive been wearing for half a decade...
Its been broken.. so is my heart..
I dont know if it can ever be repaired.. i guess i never tried...
Cant stop wearing it though...
And I got use to it anyway...
It has been a reminder.. that i should be careful...
That we cant go back in time..
Not sure as to when I'll stop wearing it...
Guess I never met anyone worth taking it off for...

My FB status as of July 12, 2010
Hospitalization 101: Thou shall not wait till Monday for a checkup - at the end of the day its the same thing.. you'll spend 3 days of your life eating hospital food, your left arm attached to an IV and not being able to urinate and shit on your own...its like prolonging the agony and adding insult to the injury - feels like crap actually..
Filipino Custom on Death Loss and Grieving
Before I start with this write-up, I just wanna say that I’m not terminally ill (yet) – yeah Im still at the hospital – and Ill stay here till Thursday.. no more escape till then but nope, I’m not planning to die anytime soon. A friend’s dad had passed recently and I guess there are so many misconceptions about us Filipinos when it comes to death, wake, burial and grieving.
Ok here goes….
Once a Filipino dies, it is traditional to hold a wake. Deceased men are dressed in the traditional barong tagalong while women are dressed in terno or their best dress. Traditionally, the immediate family of the deceased wears black but nowadays, I can see family members wearing white during the wake and the funeral itself.
Libing (Funeral) is like a big family reunion for the Filipinos. Relatives from all over the country (and even those outside the country) are expected to attend the wake and funeral of the deceased. People are expected to come together and grieve in groups rather than do so privately. Family and friends are also expected to come forward to support then grieving family and not doing so is considered an offense.
Filipinos judge the life and stature of the deceased by the number of people gathered for the wake or funeral and it is customary to discuss the life and accomplishments of the deceased during the wake.
Flowers are often given in condolence to the family, with a message of condolences written on a ribbon attached to the bouquet of flowers (we call it corona ng patay). Family members and friends, keep vigil, pray, eat, talk and socialize with guests, offering food and refreshments to those mourning with the family.
After the death of a person, a nine-day period of having novena of prayers and masses offered for the deceased is held – we locally call it PASIYAM.
After the pasiyam comes the 40-day mourning period following the belief that Jesus Christ’s ascended to heaven after the said period of days. A mass is held at the end of this period and in some instances that family of the deceased also offer some food and refreshment to those who attended the occasion.
