I have this nasty zit that seemed to have assumed its permanent post in between the right edge of my nose and mouth. Been there for more than two weeks now! I have deliberately stopped applying soap and cleanser on my face just so it would mature and burst eventually. But the thing seemed just to get used to my skin that it instead recruited a new dot on its top making it look nastier and yuckier. Argh!  Whoever said that the snake is the most abhorred thing of all?

Bernice:  What do you think of that guy? (pointing her mouth on a ‘voluptuous-y’-all-mistakened-for-a-muscle guy. Oh hell, us Fils love doing it that way, right? Nitpicking. And pointing by our mouth:) ) Do you like his type?

Me: No. Too big. Too loud. Too tall. And too white. (Rather blunt, I know. But Bernice is a close friend. And besides, engaging in such funny and awesome conversations sometimes liven up the blood in us, so let me just justify it that way, ok?)

Bernice: Huo man gain:) Indi man ko sina nanamian. (I think so, too. I’m not into that type either.)

And I suddenly made this naughty remarkJ

Me: You know, sometimes, I just feel like assigning a dog breed for each race I see here in AIT. Like, I see that man over there like a poodle. (Actually, he’s more like a hound-poodle. Hehe.)

Laughter ensuing….

And I continued.

Me: And we’re askals. (For those who don’t know what askal is, it’s just our abbreviated word for asong kalye or what is popularly known in the English sphere as stray dogs:) )

Tawanan ulit.

Me: And this guy beside me as a wild dog!

We were joined by a Bangladeshi who didn’t have a single clue as to what we’re talking about:) we were both talking in Ilonggo by the way:)

Ayoko na. We’re not funny anymoreJ besides, that guy is sooo nice he made ma feel so badL

Heck. I’m bored. I’m hiring claque for my audience.
