⌛ Top 10 things people in the Philippines find up setting.

Dear Arie

what Country is alininea's from. I don't know this word as an English word.? Or is it missed spelled? I know when I write, I always see mistakes after I write something , it kind of makes me feel pissed off. making mistakes simple mistakes.

 

I guess Arie ment "alineas" i.s.o. "alininea's".
Alinea's are (in Dutch) like chapters.
You start again with a new phrase/sentence at the left side of the page.
Arie is right b.t.w.
It's sometimes difficult to read when not having interruptions between sentences.
But....nobody is perfect c.q. needs to be perfects

 

This is fun......nnnnnnnny!!!!!!! :D Thanks for posting, and thanks to Maria

I heard this anecdote when I was young.

A Sugbu-anon and a Bol-anon were on a banca. The Bol-anon was at the rear steering while the Sugbu-anon was at the front watching for protruding rocks on a moonless night. Suddenly, the Sugbu-anon spots a menacing rock ahead and he blurts…”Sa wa’a, Pre” (Turn left!). The Bol-anon replies…”Mako ba?” (Is it big?). Before they knew it, the banca hit the reef and sank. “Sawa” in Bohol and in the Visayas means a big snake.

 

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!:D

 

Ill just tell a story that my teacher told me... I hope i remember it right..

Are we missing our life?

A young tourist hire a local boy from the Philippines to take him on a Bangka ride. They boy had never gone to school but knows how to speak English because he lives in a tourist destination.

The young tourist said to the little boy with curiosity, "Do you go to school?"
The boy said smiling "No Mr tourist",
The young tourist follow up his questions "Why not?"
The little boy said smiling again "Mr tourist my parents cant afford to send me to school".
The tourist said "You should work hard and go to school, or you will miss half of your life",
The little boy just kept quite still just smiling.

The Bangka is now on the deep ocean then suddenly it started to sink.
The little boy said to the tourist "the Bangka is sinking, do you know how to swim Mr tourist?",
The tourist replied with fear "I don't know how to swim",
The boy replied "Mr tourist you must learn now how to swim or you will lose The rest of your life!"

the end

hope you enjoy this story :D

 

stalwart - an old type of amphibious lightly armoured truck, used by the british army in the 70's and early 80's, that was always breaking down and nearly always sank, sounds even more like Rhoody now lol

slow down

Here is a old story my wife told me.
One day a man who had been to gather his coconuts loaded his horse heavily with the fruit. On the way home he met a boy whom he asked how long it would take to reach the house.
"If you go slowly," said the boy, looking at the load on the horse, "you will arrive very soon; but if you go fast, it will take you all day."

The man could not believe this strange speech, so he hurried his horse. But the coconuts fell off and he had to stop to pick them up. Then he hurried his horse all the more to make up for lost time, but the coconuts fell off again. Many time he did this, and it was night when he reached home.

So I guess slow down and relax is the moral.
