Jade at the Movies 2

Inside the theater, Marish held their french fries while Jade held their nachos. When Marish noticed that the fries didn’t taste good, she complained, “Yuck! Luma na ata ‘to.” Jade, being the loving husband that he is, offered, “Gusto mo palit tayo?” “Bakit?”...

Jade at the Movies 1

Jade told me the most shocking news about his 4-year stay in Dubai: He has never been to a movie theater! That was until yesterday when we dragged him to see The Clash of the Titans. “Hinintay n’ya ako,” claimed Marish, Jade’s wife, who arrived in Dubai just 3 weeks ago. Inside...

Contest Piece

During this week’s American Idol performance episode, Jade commented, “Ano ba naman ‘yan!? Hindi naman pang-contest piece ang kinakanta n’ya,” referring to Big Mike’s rendition of Eleanor Rigby. It was Beatles Night (Lennon-McCartney Songbook) so they have no choice...

We don’t want to be racist here in UAE but the Filipino personal hygiene is by a mile far from the other nationalities’ here. Bing lives with a family from, let’s hide the name of the country as: “Stinkistan” and she claims it’s a living hell for her: Bing would wait...

Haggling

Here in Dubai, it’s a must to haggle for a lower price, even if you’re inside the mall. Unfortunately, I’m still not confident enough to do it. Good thing my friend and roommate is good at it. Since my Tissot watch (Wow! Tissot!) stopped working and needed a battery replacement, I asked...

Net

As he was sorting his laundry, I told Ronald, “Dapat yung mga ganitong mga sweater nilalagay mo sa…” “Fish net! Oo alam ko na ‘yun!” he finished my sentence off. “Sasabihin ko sana lundry net, pero kung gusto mong manghuli ng isda, eh ‘di sige.” ...

“I didn’t (di-dint) do it!” Uttered Ronald, my flatmate. “Anong Didint? Didint Reyes?” “Eh pano ba?” “Din’t lang pwede na! ‘I din’t do it.’” ...

Vegetable Serving

Ronald, my roommate,  and I are trying to eat healthy by having at least 2 servings of vegetable per day. When he got lazy one day and had cooked only tocino for our respective packed lunches, he asked me, “Ok lang wala tayong gulay ngayon?” “Syempre ok lang,” I answered, and...
