Haven’t written one of these in a while. But since we’re back in this blog business then WTH right? This entry can also be called fb status messages that I considered posting but for some reason decided not too.

WHAT THE RIMOWA?

Apparently the PAL ground staff in Manila have a special policy regarding RIMOWA suitcases. They are treated as “SPECIAL HANDLING” and are not put on the conveyor with the other bags. Instead they are “picked up” by the baggage handlers from the check-in counter. When asked why, the ground staff said “Because the owners complain.”  E di ba nga “indestructible”?  ‘WOW SPECIAL. NAHIYA NAMAN ANG SAMSONITE KO. SENSYA.

ENGLISH ONLY, PLEASE!!!

Who writes the subtitles for Tagalog movies? It really bothers me when I see that the subtitles are badly written. They don’t have to be direct translations but they should at least make sense right? And then how come sometimes the character’s lines are in English and yet the English subtitles are wrong??? KOKOPYAHIN MO NA LANG DI BA?

PETMALU#$%@#$@%@$#@$

Every time I see someone post or hear anyone say “petmalu” or “lodi”, I cringe. We already did that whole reversing the words thing in the 70s-ermats, erpats etc. And those words had some charm. Plus if you’re going to do this, then the least you can do is do it right. It’s not LO-DEE, it should be pronounced LO-DIE, cause the it’s not EE-DOL, it’s EYE-DOL. $%#@#$@#%#$%#$%

FIDGET SPINNERS. ‘Nuff said.

DO IT RIGHT.

Just because you add a letter “O” or “A” or pronounce the word differently an English becomes Tagalog.  We are in a restaurant where all the servers are required to speak in straight Tagalog even calling Coke Zero-Coca Cola Bokya. But, when they gave us complimentary appetizers, the waiter said, “komplimentaryo”.  There’s no such thing.  Just because you added the O to Complimentary, that doesn’t make it tagalog.  And again, where does this whole “hihingi ng sori” when they mean ask for forgiveness thing they keep saying in Pinoy movies???  It should be “hihingi ng tawad”  TAGALOG NA YAN, MALI PA????

 

That’s all for now…bow.
