LAST NOVEMBER, the folks at Oxford University came out with a list of “top ten irritating expressions” in the English language, by which I suppose they meant the English language as it’s employed in their corner of the English-speaking world, and not necessarily in what used to be the backwaters of the Bard’s dominion, in places like India and the Philippines. “Irritating” is, of course, a matter of cultural and personal predisposition.

Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven,
God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him,
resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, “Where have you been?”
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed
downwards through the clouds, “Look, Michael. Look what I’ve made.”


Napansin nung Tiyo na yung kaniyang pamangkin na bagong salta sa America ay umiiyak sa tabi ng kaniyang nakatumbang bisikleta sa tabing daan. Tanong tuloy nung Tiyo, “Hijo, bakit ka umiiyak?”
Sagot nung pamangkin, “Angkol, Angkol…” Madaling kinorek nung Tiyo yung kaniyang pamangkin, “Hijo, ikaw ay nasa America na. Hindi Angkol… Angkel!”
Tinuloy nung pamangkin yung kaniyang kwento, “Angkel, Angkel, I rode my Bysikol…” Madali muling kinorek nung Tiyo yung kaniyang pamangkin, “Hijo, nasa America ka na. hindi Bysikol ang tawag diyan… Bysikel”.
Muling tinuloy nung pamangkin yung kaniyang kwento, “Angkel, Angkel, I rode my Bysikel to buy some Papsikol…” Madali na namang kinorek nung Tiyo, “Hijo, hindi Papsikol – Papsikel!”
Tinuloy ulit nung pamangkin yung kaniyang kwento, “Angkel, Angkel, I rode my Bysikel, to buy some Papsikel… en den I pel… now I heb a Bukel…”

Si Melanie Marquez pa rin habang iniinterview ni boy abunda:
Boy: Melanie, anung masasabi mo sa mga lumalabas na tsismis na hindi ka lang daw drug addict, drug pusher ka pa?
