new series to read
January 17, 2008recently, a friend started sending me joke messages via sms. on the first few days, i thought those were insignificant joke messages like the "inday’s-over-the-top-english" series, which my best friend collected for quite some time until the "perpetrators" behind that series, stopped converting inday and amo’s conversation into a glorious, intellectual discourse.
then, when my friend continued sending me those short, funny messages, the idea hit home. i may find them not important but still, the fact remains the same, i laugh, if not giggle after reading the message. so, i decided to share this with you.
i’m expecting that you will be, like myself in those un-enlightened days, will find this one inconsequential. but, hey, give it a shot. and it won’t hurt you if you laugh.
and, oh, this is in filipino… but i’ll try to offer free translation.
episode 1: THE MISSING STUDENT
Guro: Sino si Jose Rizal? (Teacher: Who is Jose Rizal?)
Juan: Di ko po alam. (John: I don’t know.)
Guro: Ikaw, Pepe? (Teacher: How ’bout you, Peter?)
Pepe: Di rin po! (Peter: I don’t know, either.)
Guro: Di nyo kilala si Jose Rizal? (Teacher: You don’t knot who Jose Rizal is?)
Pepe: Ma’am, baka ibang section po ‘yun! (Peter: Ma’am! He might be in another section!)
Postscript: Jose Rizal, is Philippine’s National Hero.
Lesson: Miscommunication may lead to something else.
