Old School

Got this one thru e-mail..
Cico Aseron .. a classmate back in college forwarded this .. thanks man.. couldn't resist to write an entry ...
as usual.. I have my say after every part

So True...and yet so sad for the newer generations...they seem to be missing out on a lot of the good stuff that comes with growing up....
Something to ponder but should be shared. It'll imprint a smile on someone's face and may turn around someone's life....

TO ALL THE KIDSWHO SURVIVED the 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
maybe we should include the 80's

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
mama was still in college when I was conceived. Still i cannot conclude whether she smoked and/or drank during those days. Maybe she ate tuna, blue cheese or have taken aspirin...

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
ok.. maybe we were put to sleep that way.. but as far as I know.. someone was looking after me.. they were there watching me sleep..singing a tune while they sway my old duyan..

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
I first had a jeep .. then a bike, with little support wheels at the end .. the folks let me play and ride them all day .. remembering how I wanted the support wheels to be removed .. our garage was somewhat higher than the street, so i would run down from the garage to the streets then learn to ride/balance my bike.. they would be shouting "PADJAK PA!.. PADJAK PA!!".. a few bruises and scratches.. I was off..

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
riding our orange volkswagen beetle was always a treat.. of course I would want to seat near the window.. no seat belts.. always watching the streets..

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
this I remember doing.. If I was thirsty I would drink in the school's drinking fountain, which were merely faucets.. after playing there's no problem drinking in a neighbors garden hose or faucet..

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and
NO ONE actually died from this.
hahaha.. did someone actually died from this? Until now my friends and I drink in I bottle or one glass.. TAGAYAN!!

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank koolade made with sugar, but we weren't overweight because . WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING !
and boy I was really playing hehehe.. I was always thin when I was young, hmmm come to think of it.. I am still thin hehehe

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day.
And we were O.K.
the street lights served as our clock back then.. whenever the lights would come on we will be finishing our games.. there's also the ringing of the church bells.. it's 6pm.. time to go home.. the elders would say "Orasyong na"

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
in our case, my friends and I will be riding our bikes all day.. why did we use our sandals as breaks? that I cannot recall hehehe

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms....... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
we had a conversation with my friends(kumare/kumpare).. Marian and Constine talking about their school.. about how many students they have.. the number of special students.. Mark and I asking why are there cases like that.. when we were young there weren't many.. what maybe the reason.. my response.. "paglaruin mo sa labas ung mga bata ngayon.. wag hayaang sa bahay lang.. nanonood TV at computer".. They agreed.. pakikihalubiho is the key .. let them learn and talk to people..

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
remember when we were young.. when the day is over and we need to clean up.. parents, tito or tita will be helping us clean.. if they would see we have a wound or cut,, they will utter.. "naku bata ka .. naglalaro ka maghapon hindi mo naramdaman na nasugatan ka na.. saan mo nakuha yan?".. thatt's what you get.. what are lawsuits?

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
I did not eat mud pies or worms.. at least that's what i believe hehehe..

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
ahhh the sticks that can be almost anything.. imagination.. it could be the most sufisticated gun.. a sword or what have you..

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
I did this even when I was in college.. going to a friends house.. chatting with them till night time.. sharing a bottle of coke and chippy.. when I was in highschool we even braved the flooded streets just to be able to go to a friends house.. chat with them..

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
whose not afraid of being rejected?? but we learn because of these things.. we understand that there will be other things in store for us

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of.

They actually sided with the law!
It must have been hard for them.. but I guess that's what it takes to be able to raise a good child.. I wonder.. nowadays??

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned

HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them . . . CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good
And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.

For Rhechiel

I never knew such a day could come
And I never knew such a love
Could be inside of one
I never knew what my life was for
But now that you're here I know for sure

[Tamia]
I never knew 'till I looked in your eyes
I was incomplete 'till the day you walked into my life
And I never knew that my heart could feel
So precious and pure
One love, so real

1 - [Both]
Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes
Can I just feel your heart beating beside me
Every night (and every day)
Can we just feel this way together
Till the end of all time
Can I just spend my life with you

[Eric Benet]
Now baby the days and the weeks
And the years will roll by
But nothing will change the love inside
Of you and I

[Tamia]
And baby I'll never find any words
That could explain
Just how much my heart, my life
My soul you've changed

2 - [Both]
Can you run to these open arms
When no one else understands
Can we tell God and the whole world
I'm your woman, you're my man
Can't you just feel how much I love you
With one touch of my hand
Can I just spend my life with you

No touch has ever felt so wonderful
(You are incredible)
And no deeper love I've never known
(I'll never let you go)
I swear this love is true
(Now and forever, to you)
Only for you (To you)

Repeat 1

Repeat 2

Can I just spend my life with you

Can I just spend my life with you

[Both] Forever here with you

[Eric Benet] Can I just spend my life with you

[Tamia] Can I just see you every morning

When I open my eyes

Sa Ugoy ng Duyan

SA UGOY NG DUYAN

Music by Lucio San Pedro
Lyrics by Levi Celerio

Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig habang ako'y nasa duyan

Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig ako'y nasa duyan

Sa aking pagtulog na labis ang himbing
Ang bantay ko'y tala
Ang tanod ko'y bituin
Sa piling ni Nanay
Langit ang buhay
Puso kong may dusa
Sabik sa ugoy ng duyan mo Inay
Sana narito ka Inay

Sana'y di magmaliw ang dati kong araw
Nang munti pang bata sa piling ni Nanay
Nais kong maulit ang awit ni Inang mahal
Awit ng pag-ibig hang ako'y nasa duyan


Isa sa pinakamagandang kanta na nilikha ng isang Pinoy..kuhang kuha ni Levi Celerio ang damdamin ng bawat tao. Ano nga kaya ang iniisip niya noong isinulat niya ito? Ano ba mayroon ang kantang ito na sa tuwing maririnig ko ako'y napapatigil? Sa totoo lang parang bigla akong nangangarap.. naaalala ang kabataan ko?

heheh madrama ba? OO noh.. madrama ito.. tanga ka kung wala kang nararamdaman na kakaiba kapag narinig mo ang kantang ito.

Hindi ko susubukang himayin ang nilalaman ng kanta.. ayokong makasira sa isang magandang bagay. Ikukwento ko lang ang mga naaalala ko.. and mga naiisip ko..

Parang napapanood ko ang sarili ko noong bata pa ako. Hindi lang nga si mama ang mga naghele sa akin. madami sila. Lam ninyo ba na parang naaalala ko na nakatingin ako sa kanila habang hele nila ako? hmmm posible kaya un? Siguro nasasabi/naiisip ko lang un dahil sa mga litratong nakikita ko na kalong-kalong nila ako.. siguro un nga..

Balikan natin ang pag ugoy nila sa akin.. Anjan sina Ninong at Ninang.. ahhh ang walang kamatayang kanta ni Ninong para makatulog ako.. ako yata ang una niyang ginawan ng ganun.. hanggang ngayon ginagawa pa rin naman niya sa mga sumunod sa akin. Sina Mommy at Daddy na nakangiti sa kanilang unang apo at nilalaro. Sina Tita Vic, Ate Dory, Ate Tessie na kalong kalong ako at nakikipaglaro. Sina Tito Boni at Tita Cel na karga ako sa isang family reunion. Si Lola Tanching at Lolo Taning na kalaro ko sa simbahan. Si Lola Aning na tinutulungan si Mama na bihisan ako. Si Papa na kalong ako noong bibinyagan ako sa simbahan. Si mama na hinehele ako gabi gabi.

Ang sarap alalahanin ng mga panahong yaon.. Para bang gusto ko uling tumabi sa kanila at sabihing "ihele at patulugin mo ulit ako." Makakatuwang alalahanin.. pero bakit ganun?? Napapaluha ako pag naaalala ko..

Buong akala ko si Smurfette lang ang babaeng SMURF

Buti na lang may wikipedia hehehe
Sa tinagal tagal na panahon.. inaakala ko na si smurfette lang talaga ang babaeng smurf. Siya nga daw ang ina ng lahat ng smurf dahil.. ano ka ba.. siya lang ang babae.. so sa kanya lang galing hehehe Salamat sa wikipedia.. nakilala ko ang dalawa pang babaeng smurf

Sassette Sassette Smurfling

Sassette is a smurfling and the second of only three female smurfs to be depicted, appearing after Smurfette and before Nanny. She is a little freckled redhead girl with pigtails, and wears pink overalls.

Sassette actually has the same origins as Smurfette (with a minor difference, she wasn't made by Gargamel). The smurflings (Slouchy, Nat, and Snappy) were pitying Smurfette who felt lonely, being the only girl in the village, so they decided to help her. They learned from Papa Smurf that Smurfette was indeed created magically by Gargamel out of clay. They then went to steal Gargamel's formula and magical recipes for creating Smurfette. They successfully created Sassette, who this time didn't need plastic smurfery (though her rude behavior and attitude needed a bit of chemical tweaking). As they introduced Sassette to Smurfette, Smurfette was overjoyed at having a female friend, albeit a bit of a tomboy.

Of course, they didn't realize that Gargamel had cast a spell on the claybank that would have quite literally turned the little smurfling into a living bomb when the noon sun struck her. Papa's quick thinking and a fortuitous cloud over the sun saved both Sassette and the other smurfs. Gargamel, getting too close to the clay, ended up a victim of his own treachery.

Sassette is a jolly girl who is quite simple-minded. She loves playing smurfball (a game similar to soccer) and disliked reading (until she eventually learned how). Some episodes suggest that she has a crush on Hefty, as she is quick to compliment him on his strength and althleticism. She frequently calls Papa Smurf "Pappy", which he finds irksome, but tolerates. Sassette is unique among the smurfs in that she is fond of Gargamel and is convinced there is good in him (noting that it was his formula that led to her creation).

Nanny

An old flame of Grandpa Smurf's, Nanny enters the cartoon series after being trapped inside a cursed castle for centuries. Grandpa and the others rescue her, and she makes her home with them in the village.

History of term .. A follow up to Coño

from wikepedia again..

History of the term

The origin of the term "Konyo" or "coño" to refer to the affluent members of Philippine society draws from an earlier (19th century) usage of the word coño to refer to Peninsular Spanish expatriates living in colonies such as the Philippines and Latin America. This, in turn, was a result of the ultra-excessive use of the word ¡Coño! (originally "cunt") as a general, all-purpose swear word and expletive on the part of Peninsular Spaniards beginning sometime in the 1800s and continuing today. Many Latin Americans and educated Filipinos of the late 1800s, while they spoke Spanish, did not always use the same oral expressions as native Spaniards. Aside from not using seseo (therefore pronouncing the z and c in ce, ci as the voiceless dental fricative [θ], instead as [s]), the over-used coño expression set the expatriate Non-Andalusian Spaniards apart from the native-born locals. Coño thus became a term that certain Latin Americans (as well as Filipinos of the late 1800s) used for Spaniards which was in analogous fashion to how New Zealanders and Australians continue to refer to the British (especially the English) as "Pommies".

The usage of coño as the favorite expletive for expatriate Spaniards therefore gave them the label. As these expatriate Spaniards, referred to colloquially as coños, were at the top of society in the Philippines and generally held the highest prestige, the term coño later on found itself being used on the broader insular Spanish and mestizo caste who may not necessarily have been of Spanish descent (some were of French, German, Lebanese, etc. backgrounds).

As time went by, the label's usage broadened further to include most members of the Philippine upper classes, regardless of their ethnic background. Today, rich people who are seen to have a very affluent standard of living and betray overtly Western mannerisms, even if they are of Chinese mestizo or ethnic Filipino descent are sometimes referred to as being coño, most particularly if they speak Konyo English.

The word coño often requires a certain Eurocentric orientation, since the richest members of Philippine Society — namely, the ethnic Chinese Taipan class—do not even qualify for the label due to their non-European orientation. That the word coño originally meant "cunt" and later meant "Spaniard" has surely gone a long way to becoming a word associated with a certain Euro-centric sector of the upper crust of Philippine society shows just how far a word's meaning can change.

Coño

From WIKIPIDEA

Coño is a common Spanish idiomatic expression (vulgar). Its actual meaning differs according to region or country, but in Spain and several Latin American countries it is understood as slang for the female genitalia, the vulva (also Concha). In the Philippines, Konyo refers to a certain segment of the upper class, and the variant of English they speak.

In some places, Venezuela particularly, coño has become a feature of speech to express emphasis or to stress a wide variety of emotions, actually drifting from any of its original sexual references, in a situation similar to that of "fuck" in English.

Sa totoo lang.. ang labo.. bakit naman naging ganun ang mening dito sa Pinas ng salitang COÑO?? kaya nga natatawa .. ikwento ko na lang itong narinig namin ng kaibigan ko .. sa isang Exklusibong eswelahan sa Ortigas.. kaututang dila ko ang kaibigan kong si Kaloy .. habang nakatambay naman itong mga estudyante .. iba'y kumakain .. ang iba'y nagkkwentuhan lang naman. dumating ang isang grupo. two girls and 1 guy.. so sa kalapit na lamesa tumabi.. di namin maiwasan na marinig ang pinag uusapan.. dahil na rin sa lakas ng boses nila.. may ipapakilala daw si guy dito sa isang girl.. so malamang ipapartner doon sa isa, dahil kanya na si isa.. hehehehe..
lalaki : "may ipapakilala ako sa iyo"
girl 1 : "sino naman yan? sigurado ka ba na ok yan?"
lalaki : "I'm sure.. he's super COÑO"
PAUSE (nagkatinginan kami ng kaibigan ko .. hehehe eh pareho naming na research ang meaning ng coño.. hehehe)
lalaki : "Oh.. he's here na"
**pakilala si lalaki 2 kina girls
habang nagkkwentuhan ng kung anong kaeklatan.. si bagong dating na lalaki 2 ay panay text.. ocasional na hiti ng yosi ang mejo papungay mata.. hehehe taena yan pala ang itsura ng coño?
