Balik sa itim
Itim: Tiim Mas trip ko ngayon ang itim. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero ito ang trip kong kulay ngayon. Pero siguradong walang kinalaman sa babasahin ko ngayon na libro ni Robert Bly, yung A Little Book on the Human Shadow . Sensya wala pa akong masabi eh. Heto na lang: Ten Top Trivia Tips about Sonny! Fifty-two percent of Americans drink Sonny! Ideally, Sonny should be stored on her side at a temperature of 55 degrees! Antarctica is the only continent without Sonny. Sonny can live for up to a week without a head! It is bad luck to walk under Sonny. Snow White's coffin was made of Sonny. In a pinch, the skin from a shark can be used as Sonny. In her entire life, Sonny will produce only a twelfth of a teaspoon of honey! The National Heart Foundation recommends eating Sonny at least three times a week. Sonnyology is the study of Sonny. Basa muna ako. Next time, kukwentuhan kita.
Patulong naman po!
May luma ka bang mga manika? (Hindi 'yung barbie.) Yung di mo na kailangan. Yung manika na pinutol mo yung kamay o kaya yung paa sa sobrang inis mo sa kapatid mong lalaki. 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!
