Yung sinaksak mo yung mata ng lapis. Yung pinutol mo yung ulo. Yung sobrang balot na ng alikabok. Yung kapag nakita mo eh maaalala mo yung mga kaaway mo noong bata ka pa. Yung manikang nginatngat na ng aso o kaya ng pusa. Yung manikang nabuhusan mo ng sabaw, madugyot, o kaya nilamutakan ng spaghetti ng mas nakababata mong kapatid. Yung binigay sa 'yo ng boyfriend mo tapos nag-break kayo dahil may third party. (Huwag mong isauli, ibigay mo na lang sa 'kin.) Yung ibinigay mo sa girlfriend mo tapos ibinalik sa 'yo at ayaw mo nang makita dahil nadudurog lalo ang puso mo. Yung napulot mo lang sa kung saan-saan. May music box ka rin ba na hindi mo na kailangan? Kung meron po kayo, 'bigay niyo na lang sa 'kin. Parang awa niyo na. Hehe Pramis, bibigyan kita ng kendi bilang kapalit. Salamat!
