My 15 Favorite Anime Moments

Last time I blogged about my 10 favorite animes. This time as promised, I'm gonna make my 15 favorite anime moments. It was originally 20 but I decided to trim it down...and it was a difficult decision. Let's start counting down!!!

(drumroll)

15. Kurosaki Isshin slaying Grand Fisher (Bleach)

- This was amazing. I never thought that Isshin was a Shinigami...a strong one! And man, when he slayed Grand Fisher, it was a work of a pro! :D

14. Death the Kid vs Soul and Black Star (Soul Eater)

- This is my favorite episode. Especially the "Yaoi" moment of Soul and Black Star. I really laughed that hard! lol to this one.

13. Nakahara Sunako's Samurai Moment (Yamato Nadeshiko: Shichi Henge)

- This is where the time when their school had this school fair where they had a horror booth. Sunako to save Kyohei and she turned to a sexy samurai woman. She's hot!!!

12. Hisoka slaying the fake examiner in Numele Swamp (Hunter X Hunter)

- A quick way to know who is the real examiner and the fake one is to try killing both! If one dies, he's the fake one! What a funny scene! I don't know why but I found this moment really funny. Especially when Hisoka said, "Naruhodo, Naruhodo." Hisoka is always cool!

11. Urahara Kisuke vs. Yammy (Bleach)

This is the 2nd time where Urahara appeared and fought Yammy. It was epic! I love Yammy's speech when he was storming Urahara with his Baraa (is the spelling right?)

Yammy: Die you sandal-wearing bastard! Die! Die!

That was really funny. And also when Urahara used his fake Gigai! Hahaha! Cool invention! :D

10. Zero Appears (Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion)

- Ahh, another epic moment! It's amazing how Zero pulled everything off. He's a talented guy! Rawr.

9. Kurama's 1st Transformation to Yoko Kurama (Yuu Yuu Hakusho)

- This is where things got excited in the Toguro Tournament. I like how the enemy is confident that Kurama turned into a baby in that middle of the smoke, but he was wrong! Yoko Kurama's first appearance scared the crap away of that impostor! Harharhar!

8. Death the Kid vs. Pharaoh (Soul Eater)

- Everything in this episode was funny! The moment I like about this was when the Pharaoh appeared and Death the Kid saw its unproportional composition, I knew what would happen! Pretty funny moment! Never mess with an OC boy!

7. Bisuke vs Bomber's ally (Hunter X Hunter GI: Final)

- Bisuke's transformation! IT. WAS. AWESOME! She looks cute but inside she's a monster!!! And she beat out the sh*t out of that "alalay" of Bomber!

6. Fujiwara Takumi overtaking Takeshi Nakazato (Initial D: 1st Stage)

- Shifting lines while at a critical moment? That was insane! And take note, Takumi's using and 86 which has no ABS, that was a miracle!

5. Yusuke Urameshi's final blow to Sensui (Yuu Yuu Hakusho)

- What I liked about the scene was not really Yusuke's final blow but the reaction of Sensui. He was like, "I should die this way and I deserve this." I pitied Sensui at that time. Really sad. :(

4. Fujiwara Takumi overtaking Shingo (Initial D: 1st Stage)

- Among the race in the 1st stage, this was my super favorite moment, when Takumi passed the cheater Shingo. Shingo thought he could trash Takumi's AE86 by challenging him to a Gumtape match but Shingo was wrong. So nearing at the finish line, Shingo decided to end the race via Double Crash, however, Takumi drifted to dodge Shingo's attack so the result: Shingo crashed and his car was wrecked (but not a total wreck). Really cool to overtake a bastard like Shingo! Harhar

3. Ichigo used Getsuga Tenshou Face to Face on Grimmjow

- Of all the Getsuga Tenshou thrown by Ichigo, this one was amazing! Taught by Hollow Ichigo, this is the coolest move Ichigo ever used. He wounded Grimmjow and made him cry like a baby!

2. Killua pulling out the heart of Jones in Trick Tower (Hunter X Hunter)

- This is a classic! It was exciting! It was amazing! Jones thought that he can finally kill but this poor bastard didn't know who he was fighting. Good for him! And it seemed that pulling the heart out of Jones was an easy task for Killua. Really cool!

1. Lelouch Vi Britannia's Death (Code Geass R2)

- Need I say more? This one is an epic! I don't know how to describe the scene in detail but everytime I watch it, it always makes tears fall from my eyes. Knowing Lelouch's goal + Nunnaly's knowing the truth behind his death + the music, man, it was really really sad. :( All hail Lelouch!

So there! These are my 15 favorite anime moments! What are yours? :D Comments are much appreciated. lol! :D

My 10 Favorite Anime

Since Derell wrote her top 10 favorite anime, I suddenly got the urge to make my own to. However because the lack of time (i.e. katamaran ko), I decided not to make it until today.

So after a long wait, I'll now list my 10 Favorite Animes! (applause). Let's start by counting down from 10 to 1.

(drum roll)

10. FATE / STAY NIGHT


This is one of the animes that I have watched in which I didn't press the skip button. I wanted to watch it all the way. Although the story development is a bit slow (not until the last 5 or 7 episodes), this may be a boring anime for others. The thing that I like here is the servant / master thingy. And oh, Saber and Rider are both hot! :D

9. SAMURAI X



The famous Battousai the Slasher has a spot on my favorite anime list! Of course! I liked the whole story (well, except for the water clan blah blah). I love katana fights because I'm a brutal man! Harharhar! Anyway, what I like about this anime is the character of Kenshin, a goody-good samurai who turned from a ruthless man slayer to the polite and well mannered swordsman. I recommend this anime most especially the Shishio saga. It rocks! It has tons
of fighting in that saga, you wouldn't ask for more. XD

8. YAKITATE JAPAN



I forgot to include this to my previous blog. When I watched this anime, I felt like I want to be a baker! Haha! Imagine that?! Anyway, this anime is really funny and educating (most especially for those who wants to learn how to bake) at the same time. Funny because it has a lot of parodies from different anime! I remember Kuroyanagi's (the examiner) reaction when he tasted this bread of Azuma (I kinda forgot if it was really Azuma's bread), then after tasting it, he became a Super Saiyan Kuroyanagi, (this is an obvious reference from the epic anime Dragon Ball Z). Another parody that I remember was the ending episode when the girl (I forgot the name) tried to call the legendary superhero Pierrot. Pierrot's entrance was the entrance of
Ultraman! Really funny!

7. GUNDAM SEED DESTINY



Gundam has always been my favorite. I watched this anime in December 2004 and finished in January 2005 (because it was still aired on Japan.) Thanks to my classmate who lent me the DVD's (Two original DVD's). This anime has a lot of fight scene (of course it's a war!) Anyway, the last 4 episodes really rocks. There is a bad side for this anime. It became a little bit confusing when the former hero Kira Yamato entered the scene. For me who didn't watch its prequel, I was lost watching it but I kind of catched on after some few episodes. All in all, it's a good anime.

6. BLEACH



The only long-running anime that I still watch until now. I got hooked to this anime when the arrancar saga started. This is a very good anime and the fight scenes are very cool and exciting (though sometimes it's repetetive). The story right now is exciting! The Vaizards had arrived and they are ready to kick Aizen's sorry butt! Oh yeah!

5. SOUL EATER



This anime ranked 2nd on my previous list but I decided to put this in the 5th. Anyway, this anime is very awesome! The story is not boring, it has a lot of action and a lot of comedy which balanced the whole anime. All I can say is this is an anime in which I can watch over and over.

4. CODE GEASS R2



I did not watch the whole season until I watched its ending. I found it boring and dark at first but after watching its ending, I decided to watch the whole 2nd season and found out that the plot of this anime was very well constructed. I admire the one who made this story line. Very very good! See my previous blog about this anime. It's just a little analysis of this anime and the justification that Lelouch is still alive. :) (link here)

3. YUU YUU HAKUSHO



The legendary Yuu Yuu Hakusho a.k.a. Ghost Fighter. I liked the whole story of it (until the ending). There isn't an episode here which I found boring.

The character development is very good. You'll see Yusuke develop from a 14 year-old boy who has a boring life with lots of picking fights to being a detective that would save the world for doom. I also like the Sensui saga in which the creator showed that humans are monsters not the monsters from the other world. I think it's so true especially when the part where Sensui proved that humans are the real monsters because they destroy each other.

Can't you see that now in our world today? :) This should have been my number 2 but since I like cars...

2. INITIAL D (1st Stage)



Now this is the reason why Yuu Yuu Hakusho ranked 3rd on my list. Okay, the drawing sucks but it's not the drawing I'm up to, it's the race! To tell you honestly, I can't relate to what they are saying when I first watched this anime but since they explained it, I kind of liked cars since then.

The race are full of suspense. You'll never get bored watching it, I never got bored watching it. A good race matched by techno music, what else can you wish for? What I also liked about this anime is the animation of the cars. It's a good choice that they made the car computer animated becase if it's just a drawing, it wouldn't be exciting. Anyway, all about this anime is exciting. I admit that my favorite season is the 1st season. The next 3 seasons aren't as exciting as the first one. But I love them all! Oh, the soundtracks are cool too! I have most of it in my cellphone. :D

1. HUNTER X HUNTER



From the genius creator of Yuu Yuu Hakusho comes another genius creation, Hunter X Hunter. I like everything about this anime. Just like Yuu Yuu Hakusho, the character development of this anime is awesome. You can see Gon's character develop from a calm boy to a kind-of-rowdy attitude (after Greed Island). Same as Killua's. From a killer and impatient boy to having a very calm attitude.

The Nen System is simply magnificent! It's brilliant! It's well organized from the main category to its sub-categories. Another brilliant thing about this anime is the Greed Island game. I can't say anything aside from brilliant, awesome, and magnificent. This is why Hunter X Hunter ranked 1st on my list.

So ther you go. My 10 Favorite anime. :D Next time I'll be doing My 10 Favorite Anime Moments (if my "katam" sickness won't visit me again). :D

The "I-Want-To-Be" Syndrome

Have you watched an anime and after watching the whole series you tend to say to yourself, "I wanna be like him/her!"?

I was watching Initial D last night then I suddenly recalled my feelings when I first watched the series. I was like, "I wanna be like Takumi!" Not just his god-like driving skill but everything. Would you believe that before I even said to myself that I want to work in a gasoline station just like Takumi? Seriously.

It's not just Initial D. But every realistic anime (anime without super powers) that I have watched gave me that feeling. Let's take for example the anime Slam Dunk. I was 3rd year high school then when I watched the whole series* and I felt like going back to the court again. I wanted to be like Mitsui who can shoot from the 3-point area easily. I wanted to be like Rukawa who was an all around player. I wanted to be like them!

What else? Hmm, there are only couple of realistic anime that was shown so I can't remember anything. Anyway, point taken. I always have this syndrome. Like now, I want to drive an AE86 Trueno and tackle the Zambales Mountain Pass!




*Slam Dunk was shown on ABC 5 when I was in elementary but I did not watch it. My interest at that time was focused on Yuu Yuu Hakusho which was shown on IBC 13. :)

Zero Requiem: Lelouch's Immortality

I know many of you have watched Code Geass R2 until the end. Honestly, I only watched the ending of it for three times. I stopped watching R2 on Episode 11 because I did not like what was happening in the story. I skipped until Episode 25 then watch it's ending and made myself cry.

There were a lot of speculations that Lelouch was still alive but there were no facts to support it. The only thing that the viewers hold on was C.C.'s last dialouge, "Neh, Lelouch?" then C.C. looked above (which where the driver was). So I tried watching Code Geass R2 this morning and started it where I left off - episode 11. After watching, I came to a conclusion that Lelouch is indeed alive and if I have a correct understanding, immortal.


C.C.'s Life: The Immortal Witch

There was this episode where C.C.'s life was told. We all know that C.C is immortal but how did she become one?

I don't want to tackle the whole episode here because it's too long and I don't have much patience to type it. Let me summarize how did C.C become immortal. C.C. was a slave girl. Then she was found by a sister. C.C. made a pact to the sister and C.C was given the power Geass. After a long period of time, C.C. got bored and asked what was the condition of the pact. The sister told her that she (C.C.) should give the sister her desire, that is to die. In order to do that, C.C.'s Geass should be more powerful than the sister's Geass. So indeed C.C's Geass became powerful enough to kill the sister. That was when she became immortal.


V.V. and Charles' Immortality

As far as I know, V.V. was the immortal one and Charles' was not (correct me if I am wrong here). In the later episode of R2, we saw V.V. died after his battle with Lelouch. How did he die?

It was because of the code. I don't know exactly what that code was but when C.C. arrived at the scene, she asked V.V. why did he gave Charles his code, V.V. died without answering. In my opinion, the code that was given to Charles was immortality. As far as I can remember, it was at that time when Lelouch was brought inside the World of C that Charles only became immortal (because of the code given by V.V).


Charles' Death: Overpowered by Zero

Okay, so Charles became immortal, but how did Lelouch overpower Charles? This will bring us back to C.C gaining the power of immortality. It is the same explanation. We know that Lelouch got another Geass in his right eye inside the World of C. So what could be more powerful than two Geass? Plus given the fact that they were in the "gods" world, "gods" apporved of Lelouch's wish not to stop time, and C.C. sided with Lelouch, it was indeed possible to kill Charles.


Lelouch Gaining Immortality

This is where my personal opinion comes in. I am warning you that I am only making a conclusion here based on the facts given above.

The only reason why I concluded that Lelouch was immortal because:

--> Geass gave him immortality. We knew that the condition of the immortal sister to die was being killed by a more powerful Geass. After C.C. succeeded in killing the sister, she obtained the sister's immortality. It was the same as when Lelouch killed his father Charles.

The Diagram:

Sister's Geass was overpowered by C.C. - thus obtaining the sister's immortality,
V.V's Geass was overpowered by Charles' - thus obtaining V.V's immortality, (it was actually given by V.V. but still, Charles' Geass was powerful)
Charles' Geass was overpowered by Lelouch - thus obtaining Charles' immortality.

This is just my opinion based on the facts given.


Lelouch Vi Britannia's Death: Is it True?

I strongly agree that Lelouch Vi Britannia died after Zero stabbed him. Okay, so now my efforts above explaining that Lelouch is indeed immortal was negated by my agreement that Lelouch Vi Britannia died. Let me explain why. This is just my opinion.


:The Purpose of Zero Requiem:

From the beginning of Code Geass, Lelouch said that his life was a lie, and his name was a lie, He is Lelouch Vi Britannia, a Britannian prince in reality, but he used Lelouch Lamperouge to cover his true identity. He hated his Britannian side because of what his father, Charles, had done to him and to Nunally. So after obtaining the power of Geass from C.C., he tried his best to fight Britannia, creating an alter ego who is known as Zero, the champion of justice, and a whole organization to do it.

Lelouch created Zero as a symbol of justice, am I right? We also know that he hated his father so much, am I right? So what is my point here?

Lelouch used the image of Zero as the protector of the weak and the punisher of those who abuse. Lelouch succeeded in doing that. It was the same when he used his true identity, Lelouch Vi Britannia. He made his image tyrant, evil, and a man without mercy so that the whole world's hatred will be thrown upon him. He also succeeded in doing that. And the latter was the real purpose of Zero Requiem, using Lelouch Vi Britannia's image.

Going back to Episode 25 when Zero (Suzaku) was about to kill Lelouch Vi Britannia, Lelouch whispered to Suzaku, "You will be known as the man who killed Lelouch Vi Britannia, the evil emperor. You will become a hero.". The fact that he said Lelouch Vi Britannia and not me, it's different.

Analyze:

1. "You will be known as the man who killed Lelouch Vi Britannia, the evil empreror..."

2. You will be known as the man who killed me, the evil emperor..."

See the difference?

POINT: Lelouch used Lelouch Vi Britannia as a symbol. If he used me, which means his true self and his human body or existence, it is different.

It was also the same as Suzaku's case. All of them knew that Suzaku died (except Karen and Nunally, I think), but in realty it was just his name died, not his human body or existence. In the end, he was to grant a wish by Lelouch, that is to kill him and become the champion of justice, Zero. So there, Lelouch Vi Britannia did die in the end.


Code Geass R2: The Ending

After the scene where I became a crybaby, Karen narrated about what happened after Lelouch Vi Britannia's death followed by a short scene with C.C. Now, using the line that C.C. mentioned before the credits which was "neh, Lelouch?", I will try to explain again that it was Lelouch who she was talking to.

1. I know most of you have watched tons of anime, right? Usually in most anime, people who isn't important has a face and people who are important has their face hidden (to be msterious, I think). Like for example, a simple passerby can show his face. However, in this scene with C.C., the creators didn't show the face of the one driving the wagon. It zoomed in but only on the side, just about right to see the towel covering the face of the driver. Isn't it a little bit suspicious? If he was just a driver, they could at least show his face. And also, why zoom in the camera if the wasn't important? They could have done this: After showing the far view of the wagon, they could have made the camera jump directly to where C.C was, but no, they didn't.

2. Why was the driver's face all covered up? Yeah I can say that it was hot there but C.C. wasn't all covered. Her face was exposed, she didn't have a hat and she was also lying under the sun! Now that was suppose to be hot! So what was the reason for the driver of the wagon to cover all of his face? Hat and towel on the head to cover what? Hmmm...

3. In the far view, although it was just a glimpse, we can tell that the driver of the wagon is not an old geezer. If you watch it closely, the driver looked like he is at the same age as Lelouch. This is a weak proof but try to see it yourself. :)


Lelouch Back to Being an Ordinary Person

Having through all the trouble in his life, of course he wanted to rest! Lelouch killed his image as Lelouch Vi Britannia for two purpose (that is what I think) and that is:

1. Zero Requiem - throw all the hatred of the world upon him and die with it.

2. Simple Life - He sacrificed his image to live a normal life with C.C. In the way I saw it, C.C. and Lelouch are M.U. (Mag-Un..hehe) or have feeling for each other.

I also think that he changed his name so that he won't be recognized by anyone else...or came back to being Lelouch Lamperouge.

So there it is! My personal opinion that Lelouch is indeed alive and immortal. If you have any questions, try figuring it out yourself...KIDDIN'! Just ask me if you have questions. I will try anwering it. Hihi! :P

Unheard Voice, Unreachable Dream

"I'm just a nobody who now have a huge crush on a star. In the end, I will still be nobody...and she won't even notice." - VaLcRiSt

Out of the blue, I suddenly felt that I need to make a blog about the girl I like.

Okay, who's this girl whom I like? I won't mention her name but let's call her...cutie (oh! I'm so creative!). Anyway, I've met cutie in a convention just two months ago. I did meet her but I was nobody (you know what I mean). Okay, so she's quite popular but at that time I never had the idea who she was!

So what's with this girl? What made me like her? I know that there are millions of guys there who has a crush on her (or inlove with her) but hey, It's just me and I just want to share what I feel now. :) Anyway, going back to cutie, like what I've said earlier, I didn't have the slightest idea who she was. When a friend of mine told me that she was the sister of this famous cosplayer girl (I know you know her! ;p), I approached her and asked if I can take a picture of her and if I can have a picture with her and she obliged! And that started my little crush on her...and later on developed until she became my huge/ultimate crush ever!!! lolz!

It was just this morning that I felt that I'm starting to fall (which is unusual...VERY unusual for me) for cutie. Oh what a huge dream I have, so huge that even I can't imagine it! (It's like falling for an anime character! haha!) The reason for this was when I heard her angelic voice covering some songs (okay, that's it, you already know her, do you?). I really got "addicted" to her rendition of the song "Tala" that I listened to it about a gazillion times now (okay, I'm exaggerating...how about millions?) and I don't even get tired of it! :p I think she did better than the original singer! lolz!

One thing that I can say is sooner or later, this feeling will disappear but as for now, I'm cherishing every second of it!

La...la...la...la...waaaaaaaaaah!

Thigalog...What?

Being a Filipino, I always thought that we should know our language very well (the meaning, how it is pronounced, etc.). There are a lot of words in our language that originated from Spanish and Chinese, but little did we know, there are a lot more.

When my sister bought a book entitled "Malictionary", which was written by Ernie Zarate, I was amazed on how I didn't know our language very well. There are some common words that we use everyday that we don't even know the meaning. It may be a cussword or a vulgar word, but since we don't know the meaning (and because we heard our nanay/kapitbahay/lola say those words), we just imitate it and use it based on they used it.

To give you an idea what are the contents of this book (there are actually two volumes already), I will put here some words that I found funny, entertaining, and at the same time, educating. Enjoy! I will also put here some English words as bonus!

MALICTIONARY - A compilation of often misused, misprounounced,misspelled and misunderstood words and expresssions by the Filipino, and other curious trivia. by Ernie Zarate.

almusal - The Spanish word "almozar" from which this was adapted is actually "to lunch." Before the Americans came, the Insulares and Peninsulares led such profligate lives, they would stay up late at night for their social activities, usually oversleeping the next day so that their first meal would be taken at lunch hour. "Desayuno" is the Spanish word for "breakfast." It might be of interest to note that in Mexico, "breakfast' is also called "almozar."

arnibal - Time changes all things it seems. Take this, for example. This used to be "almibar"

asintado - Nothing to do with marksmanship or shooting. It has somthing to do with fixing of fitting together things like valves, etc. The Filipino translation is "lapat."

atrebida - Nowadays, most people use this in the context of being "pakielamera" although the real meaning of "atrevida" is "sassy, cheeky."

azotea - Spanish term for "flat roof" not "balcony."

Bahala na! - The old folks claim that this is just a shortened phrase for "Bahala na si Bathala!" (God will take care of things!"), and probably because it sounds redundant, "si Bathala" was lost in the course of time.

balde - A Mexican word for "bucket or pail." The Spanish word for this item is "cubo."

balintataw - "Pupil of the eye" or "eyeball"

banketa - In Spain, "banqueta" would mean "stool"; but to Mexicans and to the MMDA chairman, it also means "sidewalk."

batya - Originally, this word was "batea" which we imported from Mexico.

biloy - Did you know that this is the Filipino term for "dimple"?

bokong-bokong - "ankle."

champorado - Another Mexican import meaning "chocolate rice porridge."

cono (conyo) - Would you believe I found this word in my Spanish dictionary? It is the vulgar word for "female genital" or the direct translation of the uncouth English word "cunt." And if said in anger, it is the interjection "for fu**s sake."

diyahe - Another of of those baligtad words of the sixties. From "hiya," it became "yahi," then later "dyahe."

ebak - Said to have been invented by biology students from the medical term "evacuation of bowels."

galanggalangan - Tagalog for "wrist." "Pulso" is the Spanish term.

ganado - Nothing to do with "enthusiasm." It may either mean the past tense of "win" of just plain "livestock" or "farm animals."

gulunggulungan - Adam's apple.

gurang - Another non-Tagalog word now accepted in day-to-day conversational Filipino, from Bicol meaning "old person."

harana - From the Spanish "jarana" but which means, "to go out of town." Nothing musical about going out of town.

itsa - This is from the Spanish "echar", "to throw."

kalaykay - is Chinese for "rake." "Lugi, hikaw, lugaw," and "lumpia" are also Chinese imports

kamote - And Andean and Mexican word we adopted to mean "sweet potato."

mungkahi - is of Chinese origin meaning "suggestion or proposition."

nene - The Spanish term fo "baby boy." In Tagalog, however, "Nene" is the affectionate appellation for girls.

palengke - This cannot be found in many Spanish dictionaries because it is actually an Aztec term ("palenque") for "meeting place." "Mercado" is the Spanish word for "market."

panghinuki - "toothpick."

pasmado - This has nothing to do with sweaty or trembling hands. In Spanish, it means "astonished, astounded."

pustiso - This is not limited to "false teeth." "Postizo" can also mean anything artificial like "hairpiece" for example.

que se joda - A Spanish-speaking friend is appalled by the flagrant use ot this phrase on TV and radio. Its Filipino usage is "come what may" or "devil may care." But in Spanish, the root word "joder" is the vulgar term "to copulate," or, to be blunt about it, "to f**k!" The phrase therefore literally means "What the f**k"!

regla - This has nothing to do with the monthly period of females. The more popular meaning of the word in Spanish is "rule, ruler."

sanggano - The original Spanish word "zangano" does not mean "though guy." It means "lazy oaf."

siyota - Intentional corruption of bata (boyfriend or girlfriend). Some insist it comes from "short time," a term to mean "a few hours of more than intimate stay at a motel."

tansan - Did you know that this was the name o fa soft drinks bottling factory in the 1930's, which was probably the first to use metal bottle caps in our country?

*tuna - In Spanish, this is not a fish -- this is a kind of "edible cactus." The edible fish is "atun." No kidding! Check it out!

*tonting - Street language for the sex act.

ENGLISH

boondocks - From the Tagalog word "bundok." A U.S. slang word brought over from the Philippines to the mainland by American soldiers at the turn of the 19th century.

can goods - Wrong. It should be "canned goods."

cellphone - Short for "cellular phone." Actually, it is only in here in the Philippines that this term is used. In other countries, the accepted expression is "mobile phone" or simply "mobile."

coupon bond - "Bond paper" should be the proper term.

Grand Prix - "grahng' PREE." WARNING: Do not pronounce as it is spelled. Otherwise you will be saying "Big Penises."

ice tea - Wrong. This should be "iced tea."

moral lesson - Redundancy. "Moral of the story" is better.

officemates - Use "co-workers" or "colleagues."

soft drink - Americans call this "soda pop" or simply "soda."

Worcestershire - "WOOS tuhr shr." If you still cannot pronounce it right, say "Perrin's Sauce" na lang.

Z - This letter is pronounced "zee" not "zey."

* - words with * came from Malictionary 2

--->edited some entry to make it short.


==========================================

There are some of the entries that I find interesting and educating. I hope you enjoyed reading! I'll try to put here some entries from Malictionary 2.

I also read something in a book (I forgot the title) about this word/name:

Randy - this may seem a very innocent word/name for us but if you go to a certain country in Europe (*France, Great Britain, or Germany) and introduce yourself, "Hi! I'm Randy.", it's like saying, "Hi! I'm horny!"

*I'm not sure about what country it is. I'll just have to look at that book again.

USERER

USERER - yu-suh-rer., (syn., user.) - A term invented by a friend of mine. It means
1. a person who uses others for his/her own sake then discards you like a toy when he/she doesn't need you anymore;
2. a person who will only appear when she/he needs you;
3. a person who will make bola to you like a kulangot for you to teach him/her something that he/she wants to know.

If you have a friend like this, please discard them right away...before they do it to you.



USERER. bow.

A friendly reminder from your friendly neighborhood magician...

It's CHRISTmas, not SANTAmas!

Christmas. It is the time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, but it seems to be forgotten.

I was watching Family Feud earlier when a survey question said, "Ano ang pinaka-popular na character tuwing pasko?" I just shook my head when I saw the top answer...SANTA CLAUS. Of course I was expecting of it but when the second answer appeared, I just laughed..RUDOLF! Is this really funny or what? I thought the first answer was Jesus Christ, but yeah, Christmas = Santa Claus...but RUDOLF ranking 2nd?! What the? Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer is more popular than Jesus Christ? And Jesus Christ ranking 3rd?! ARE YOU KIDDIN' ME?

Seriously, even Jesus ranking 2nd is not right. I just remembered a text message that I got. It was a conversation between Santa and Jesus, here it goes:
----------------------------------
Santa: Anong problema Jesus?

Jesus: Selos ako sa'yo eh.

Santa: Bakit naman?

Jesus: Kasi ikaw ang inaabangan ng mga tao 'pag pasko.
----------------------------------

I don't know if this was suppose to be a joke and if so, it was not funny at all.

Remember why we celebrate Christmas. It's for the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, not the birth of Santa and Rudolf.


*I wasn't sure about the spelling of CLAUS in Santa Claus Thanks Xila for correcting!"


(See! I can't even spell Santa Claus correctly! Hahahaha!)

::Linger::

Why is it that whenever I hear this song, I remember my ex-girlfriend?

Right now it's playing in my mp3 and I want to press the next button but at the same time I don't want to.

Well, as the chorus says, "Do yo have to let it linger?" It's lingering. Her memories are coming back to me right now. Our memories together. Darn.

I have moved on, but the memories are there.


...do you have to let it linger?
