For those who don't understand most words here, our apologies, I think this thread is intended by somebody who would like to talk mostly to Filipinos only.
Good translation of that poem btw RN!
Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, as long as ever you can.
THREE MEN, SINGAPOREAN, JAPANESE AND FILIPINO WERE SITTING NAKED IN A SAUNA. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A BEEPING SOUND.THE SINGAPOREAN PRESSED HIS FOREARM AND THE BEEP STOPPED. THE OTHERS LOOKED AT HIM QUESTIONINGLY.
"THAT WAS MY PAGER" HE SAID,"I HAVE A MICRO CHIP UNDER THE SKIN OF MY ARM."
A FEW MINUTES LATER A PHONE RANG. THE JAPANESE FELLOW LIFTED HIS PALM TO HIS EAR. WHEN HE FINISHED HE EXLPAINED,
"THAT WAS MY MOBILE PHONE. I HAVE A MICRO CHIP IN MY HAND."
THE FILIPINO FELT DECIDEDLY LOW TECH, BUT NOT TO BE OUTDONE HE DECIDED HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING JUST AS IMPRESSIVE. HE STEPPED OUT OF THE SAUNA AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM. HE RETURNED WITH A PIECE OF TOILET PAPER HANGING FROM HIS B UTT. THE OTHERS RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND STARED AT HIM.
THE FILIPINO FINALLY ! SAID......."AY DIOS MIO, WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT?!I'M GETTING A FAX..."

Kumusta na kabayan!
speed, Mrs B & Lexlee:
Mabuti naman...However, hindi ako kabayan...it's just that I was happened to be in there a few years back when my father was stationed there and I learned a bit of this language....
As for someone bringing this thread up, then this thread was never out of sight being in the limelight for the last 5 years as per my observation...perhaps, the original poster is still around between us in another ID or maybe this thread still attracts to many Phipinos on this site who are around to keep it going...
Whereas, this thread was disabled by the webmaster sometime ago due to its length and age; then just recently eventually enabled again; but whoever that member who initiated this thread many years ago may be; which I revived just a few days back due to a very relevant article that I felt like posting; and those of us who are willing to keep this thread going, have nothing else inspiring us but the common noble intent of keeping the spirit of bayanihan and kapatiran alive (in a single thread with the utmost respect to and not to appear disruptive of the other members of this forum). Anyway, this is my own view. I respect yours.
