That little man isn’t real you know. With his little bowler hat, long beard, crooked nose, and the fact that he’s not more than a foot tall, it’s pretty obvious. That little man is a duwende! Keep your kids from playing with these little fellas! Cris and Mickey teach you what to do when encountering a dwarf, and Jovitt adds his own insights on Philippine mythological creatures.

A: Bata, maglaro tayo!
B: Uuuh, sino ka?
A: Kaibigan mo ako!
B: Teka, duwende ka!

Translation:

A: Hey kid, let's play!
B: Umm, who are you?
A: I'm your friend!
B: Wait, you're a dwarf!

I didn't know that some Pinoys have to say "Tabi tabi po." when they pee. I just pee and sing...unless there's a "Bawal Tumae sa Boulevard" sign.

Can you guys do a lesson on mild profanity (to help foreigners whether they're being cursed at)? :P; 9/21/2008 5:47 AM
KalyeSpeak said...: Great idea! We can mention the various "terms of endearment" that our street-bred countrymen call foreigners. It will make tourists aware of how they are being treated. I know we're known for our hospitality, but sometimes familiarity breeds contempt!

And where did you see that "Bawal Tumae sa Boulevard" sign?!?! It's only prohibiting you to defacate; you may be more than welcome to pee!
