Pacquiao vs Mosley

I didn’t get to watch the fight. I’ve been reading a lot of stuff about how Mosley cheated and pushed Pacquiao.. and because of that, mean words has been said to Mosley (and the ref) including racist remarks such as “negro”, “nognog” and “nigger”. I just watched the “push” video; and sure Mosley cheated and pushed Pacquiao, but what has that got to do with his skin colour and race? Like seriously. Being a pinoy, I know we get furious when we experience those racism and discrimination. So why do it to other people? I’m not perfect and not trying to preach here but we should just simply look what’s inside that skin colour, after all that’s what really matters, right?

Size 2

A couple of days ago, I went to the mall and bought myself Toms shoes. When i walked in to Boathouse I immediately took the shoes I wanted and asked for size 2. When the SA went back from their stock room she handed me the shoes and asked her if I could quickly fit them first. I know my size and I know it would fit even if I didn't fit them at the store, but I just wanted to make sure. So when she heard me asked that she was shocked and..

HER: Holy cow! Is this for you?

ME: Yes. Haha.

HER: You've got tiny feet.

ME: Oh I know.

HER: I thought you're getting this for somebody else. Holy cow!

ME: Haha. No, it's for me. And yes I get that a lot. People get shocked whenever i tell them my shoe size.

HER: Well, at least you don't have to pay a lot.

ME: Yep! That's the advantage of having small feet.

I would always wear kids' shoes as adult shoes are huge for my tiny feet. Although there are some size 5s that fit me and most of them are shoes from Walmart. I've been to Aldo, Nine West.. name it! And all of their stuff are "big" for me. It's nice that I get shoes for less price, but frustrating at the same time as most kids' shoes are designed, well, for kids. And I'm not a kid so yeah. LOL. And I really thank Walmart for producing adult size 5 shoes that could fit me! Heehee.

This Is The Day!

When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I had a conversation with my grandmother that i would never forget. I'm a Christian, not Catholic Christian but a Born Again Christian. We used to sing "This Is The Day" in church a lot. So one time I asked my grandmother..

ME: Mama, hindi ba nagsasawa ang Panginoon na marinig ang This Is The Day kasi palagi natin yun kinakanta?

MAMA (grandmother): *laughing* Mahal, hindi. Basta bukal sa puso mo ang pagkanta at pagpupuri sa kanya. Hindi Siya nagsasawa sa "This Is The Day"

ME: Ahhh.

Wala lang. Akala ko nuon nagsasawa si Lord na pakinggan yung mga kanta sa Praise and Worship pag paulit ulit namin kinakanta. Hahaha.

(My grandmother calls me Mahal)

I remember a convo I had w/ someone. I told him I wish pinas wud recognize futbol more. He told me that will never happen. Well now it did!

o ano ka ngayon? hahaha. i want to be an azkals fan. i’m just starting to get to know them azkals, not personally though. i haven’t seen any of their games and last night was supposed to be the first time but i fell asleep. lol. hey! the game was 1 in the morning here where i live and i needed to get up at 6. so yeah, if i could support kaka, lionel messi, ronaldinho, thierry henry, steven gerrard, fernando torres, cristiano ronaldo (yes, i now consider him “hot” haha).. i could also definitely support my home country’s team.. the azkals :)

Mole!

So when i was in high school, a freshie, I had an unforgettable weird & short conversation with my THE teacher that made both of us and my classmates laugh. Well, I never believed in superstitions (I still don't believe in them). I have a mole near my right eye, a little below my tear duct. So..

teacher: Ms. *my last name*, may nunal ka sa may mata?

me: Yes Mr. Toledo!

teacher: Naku, alam mo ba baka mamatayan ka ng asawa. Ganun daw yun, sabi nila pag may nunal sa may mata. Iiyak ka.

me: Eh di okay yun sir, marami akong magiging asawa!

teacher: Hahaha. Loko ka talaga.

Hahahaha. Well if you really think of it, pag mamamatayan ako ng asawa, eh di madami akong magiging asawa? LOL.

Make!

I seriously don't get why A LOT of pa-sushal pinoys use the word MAKE then followed by a tagalog verb (a.k.a action word). It's really annoying and doesn't sound nor look good. For example, "Yaya, can you please MAKE LABA my clothes?" or "Let's MAKE LUTO some pasta." Can't they just say it in straight english or tagalog? Like, "Yaya, can you wash my clothes?" or "Let's cook some pasta." Now in tagalog, "Yaya pwede po bang pakilabahan ang mga damit ko?" or "Magluto tayo ng pasta." See it's not that hard. Here are some phrases that I always hear/read from pa-sushal pinoys. Yes, I say pinoys because they (the pa-sushal ones) are the only ones I know who do this kind of thing! Now if i'm wrong, please correct me. Anyway, here are some popular "make" phrases..

* make sawsaw = dip!

* make kain = eat!

* make luto = cook!

* make nood = watch!

* make sumbong = tell!

* make bawi = make up/make it up!

* make sama = go with/come with!

Seriously, it's annoying with a capital A. LOL.
