my very first year working in a plant in Chicago. A friend of mine asked me
if I could "spare a square" so I gave him the carpenter's measuring tool. I
could not understand why he was rolling on the floor laughing. You guys
ever had such experiences when you were still a stranger to this country?
I had a friend just fresh from the Philippines and we went to a restaurant
for breakfast. The waitress asked him how he wanted his egg done. He
said,..... "fried, of course". Another embarrassing moment of my life!!!

Cashier :"So you wanted 2 cheese bugers a coffe and a soda " .....

Jojo: "No ... I dont want soda ... I want COKE ...!.
Cashier: " So a chese burger and a coffee ?, Pardon me I can't hear you"
Jojo: "No .. I said I want 2 cheese burger a coffe and a COKE ! (Loudly)

Sorry there my friend, I don't have those letters in my surname except for
the M, but it's nice to know somebody from SCF is a province mate of mine.
The Sacred Heart Missionaries (Dutch priests) were in Cuyapo during my
teen-age days doing their missionary works and I know a couple of them. I
do have relatives in Cuyapo like the De Guzmans, Valencias, Tinios. You
might know a couple of them. Licab is like Cuyapo, except our town has no
major thoroughfare to the other town and provinces. It is sort of like a
cul-de-sac, so, yes, it hasn't changed much although our main road is a
li'l much better than before. I haven't seen our town for 10 years now but
I doubt there would be a big improvement there. I know this would sound
selfish but I want it to stay that way for my next visit there.Feel free to
e-mail me. We might know a couple of people by chance.

This reminds me of my mother's story. She opened a bank account here during one of
her vacations. The first time she tried to use the ATM machine, she didn't know
what to do. The machine asked "Please enter your PIN." So she typed P-I-N.

A friend of mine flunked his driving test here in L.A. the first time he
took it. It seems that he bounced the DMV tester to the roof of his car
(before mandatory seatbelt laws) during the test. I asked him why he did
it. He told me he saw a sign that said "DIP" bit didn't know what the
abbreviation was for.

An American flags down a cab at the arrival area of NAIA (is that it's name
still?) and asks to be brought to "Baltamesa Boulevard". The cab driver
looks at him momentarily and says, "Sir, yes sir!"
So the cab driver reaches Sta Mesa Boulevard and asks his American passenger
where he wishes to stop to which question, the American replies: "This is
not the place... Keep on driving..."
So the Filipino cabbie continues driving again and ends up at the Luneta
when suddenly the American shouts at the sight of a sign... "We're here!
We're here! There it is! Look at that sign!" And sure enough, there was the
sign... "BAWAL TUMAE SA BOULEVARD."

Hehehhe. You could ask your mom, 90 percent of Valencias in Nueva Ecija are
relatives. One renowned Valencia is our great violinist, CCP (Cultural

I was giving a visiting Pinoy friend a tour of Southern Cal and on our way
back from San Diego, we passed by San Clemente where they had this
immigration check-point.
After the formalities of giving your DL and passports and what-not we
decided to gas up at a nearby service station.
I had to go to the restroom, so I asked my friend to fill-up the
tank for me in the meantime.
Hardly had I entered the restroom, when here comes my friend looking
agitated. "Pare, hinihingan ako ng papeles doon!" "What do you mean?" I
said.
"Sabi sa akin nung mama:'Papers please'."
I puzzled over this for a while until it dawned on me:
"Bobo! Ang sabi niya 'Pay first please'."

This must be the same fellow:
A man enters a cafe and sits down. He notices that the special
of the day is cold chili. When the waitress comes to take his order he
says, "I would like a bowl of cold chili."
"I'm sorry, the gentlemen next to you got the last bowl," says
the waitress.
"I'll just have coffee then," the man says. After a while the
man notices that the guy next to him who got the last bowl of cold
chilis finishing a rather large meal and the chili is still there. He
asks, "Are you going to eat that bowl of chili?"
The other man replies, "No."
"Would you sell it to me?"
"No, but you can have it for free."
So the man takes the bowl of chili and begins to eat it. When he
gets about half way through the bowl, he notices a dead mouse in the
bowl and pukes the chili back into the bowl. The other man says,
"that's about as far as I got too."
