Summer Solstice ng mga tatay


Mahaba daw ang araw bukas, kung baket? eto...


MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos will experience the longest day tomorrow during the so-called summer solstice, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said yesterday.

In its monthly astronomical diary, Pagasa said, “Philippine nights are at their shortest and daytime is at its longest around the summer solstice, which falls on June 21 (Sunday) at 2:00 p.m. (Philippine Standard Time).”

“This is the time when the Sun attains its greatest declination (or highest angle on the celestial equator) of +23.5 degrees and passes directly overhead at noon for all observers at latitude 23.5 degrees North, which is known as the Tropic of Cancer. This event marks the start of the apparent southward movement of the Sun in the ecliptic - (region of sky which corresponds to the plane of the earth’s movement around the sun),” Pagasa said.


Ibig sabihin mahaba-haba ang celebration ng father's day? Wala akong planong gumawa ng mga house chores bukas, araw ko bukas, manonood lang ako ng tv, kakain, matutulog, tapos! Sana pareho yung point of view namin ni wifey tomorrow. Me surprise kaya sila sa akin? ililibre kaya nila ako ng lunch? ipapa-spa kaya nila ako? kakantahan kaya nila ako ng 'Happy Fathers Day to You'? Kahit pagawa na lang nila yung laptop ko ok na sa akin yun... alam kaya nilang fathers day bukas? Sayang naman kung hindi, mahaba pa naman ang araw bukas, sabihan ko kaya sila? 

Wag na lang parang ang kapal lang ng pes ko nun, saka parang naiimagine ko lang yung eksena...

Ako: eherm eheheherrrrmmm

Wifey: idura mo na yan...

Ako: wala ba kayong naaalala?

Wifey: naaalala? ay shet yung sinaing ko!

Ako: hindi yun!! wala na ining na yung sinaing kanina pa!! June 21? does it ring any bell to you?

Wifey: (thinks momentarily) Ay! sorry!... bday pala ng nanay mo! Tawagan natin dali!

Ako: ok! ok!... bukod dun meron pa di ba?

Wifey: ???

Ako: !!!

Wifey: siret

We Filipinos Are Mild Drinkers

Stumble upon this short story by National Artist for Literature Alejandro Roces (it's pretty long but trust me its a short story) on a book titled 'Panorama of World Literature for Filipinos',  i find this story amusing and funny at times. We may call the humor of Alejandro Roces as humor of exaggeration, the funny situations are laugh-provoking because they are... well... exaggerated hehe sometimes satirical. He wrote 'We Filipinos...' as a student of Arizona University and was first published in The Arizona Quarterly, i think it won him an award in literature from that university. So if you have a minute to spare read on. Happy reading!   We Filipinos are Mild Drinkers by Alejandro R. Roces WE Filipinos are mild drinkers. We drink for only three good reasons. We drink when we are very happy. We drink when we are very sad. And we drink for any other reason. When the Americans recaptured the Philippines, they built an air base a few miles from our barrio.

Upakan

Di ko mapigil kundi maging sentimental pag naririnig ko yung mga kantang kinalakihan ko, hindi ko alam kung yung lyrics? o yung melody? or the singers themselves? Basta pagnaririnig ko yung Tough Hits ng Tito Vic and Joey halos maiyak ako sa kakatawa... Wala na tayong dapat pang patunayan pa dahil nakilala na yung talent nating mga Pilipino sa music internationally kaya sa tingin ko kailangan nang ibalik yung mga katulad ng Tough Hits. Tito Vic and Joey are plain genius at malamang maraming sasang-ayon dyan... kelan lang merong nag email sa akin ng ilang TVJ hits  at nagulat ako dahil kahit na ilang beses ko na napakinggan yung mga kanta nila eh parang ngayon ko lang napakinggan uli dahil sa sobrang tawa pa rin ako sa mga punchlines ng mga kanta nila... naalala ko sakay ako ng isang jeep tapos "Upakan" yung pinapatugtog, halos lahat ng sakay ng jeep maluha-luha sa kakatawa. Sa ngayon wala na atang katulad ng TVJ wala na atang susunod, Michael V is ok pero masyado sy...

Banal na Araw

Buti na lang na i-schedule yung outing ng barkada before friday and yung outing sa opis sa monday pa ehehe extended ang vacation... so whats with friday? Wala naman, eto kasi ang time ng procession sa bayan, the must see procession na inaabangan ng lahat ng taga-bayan. O nga pala yung lugar namin sa Las Piñas ang tawag eh 'Las Piñas bayan' eto kasi yung street na kung saan nakaharap ang St. Joseph Parish, home of the world renowned 'Bamboo Organ', oo dapat kasama talaga yan tag na yan pag babanggitin ang St. Joseph Parish... home of the world renowned Bamboo Organ... kita nyo na, automatic yun eh. So kung manggagaling kang Parañaque una yung San Jose street, dalawang simbahan ang tinutumbok ng street namin, sa unahan naroon ang Iglesia ni Cristo, pag nilakad mo pa hanggang dulo, bubungad sau ang St. Joseph Parish, home of the world renowned Bamboo Organ. So balik tayo sa procession, mula nung bata pa ko, mga couple of years ago, bukod sa 'Salubong' ng Easter...
