(to the tune of Party in the USA)

I hopped off the boat at Manila Bay

With my bayong and tsinelas

Welcome to the boulevard called Roxas

Whoa! Bakit amoy Payatas?

Jumped in the jeep

Barya lang sa umaga

Look to my right

Nakita ko ang Luneta

I am getting so hungry

All the food seem so dirty

My tummy’s turnin’ and I’m feelin’ kinda getting sick

Sobrang pressure and I’m nervous

That’s when the kondoktor turned on the radio

And the Jessa song was on (3x)

CHORUS:

So I put my hands up

Humingi ng limos

Pera ko kasi naubos

Katok sa windshield like Yeah!

Pa-awa effect like Yeah!

So I put my hands up

May holdap

And no I’m not ok

Yeah! It’s the life sa Manila Bay

Yeah! It’s a party sa Manila Bay

Get to the club in my tricycle

Everybody’s not lookin’ at me now

Like who’s that jologs with cheap step-in

She’s gotta be from Mindanao

So hard with dabarkads not around me

It’s definitely not Abu Sayaf  party

Cause all I see are mayamans

They don’t drink sago’t gulaman

My tummy’s turnin’ and I’m feelin’ kinda getting sick

Sobrang pressure and I’m nervous

That’s when the tambay dropped my favorite tune

And the Narda song was on (3x)

CHORUS:

So I put my hands up

Humingi ng limos

Pera ko kasi naubos

Katok sa windshield like Yeah!

Pa-awa effect like Yeah!

So I put my hands up

May holdap

And no I’m not ok

Yeah! It’s the life sa Manila Bay

Yeah! It’s a party sa Manila Bay

Feel like hoppin’ on the boat (on the boat)

Back to my barrio tonight

Something stops me everytime

The rugby smells so good and I feel alright

CHORUS:

So I put my hands up

Humingi ng limos

Pera ko kasi naubos

Katok sa windshield like Yeah!

Pa-awa effect like Yeah!

So I put my hands up

May holdap

And no I’m not ok

Yeah! It’s the life sa Manila Bay

Yeah! It’s a party sa Manila Bay

// Wow =))=))=))=))

AY HELL=)) i sang along.=)) and this is, AMAZING!=))

LOL. I don’t know the entire song but I had the chorus tune on my head. :))

“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” —Cesare Pavese (via ventisette) (via quote-book) (via happy-mondays)

Meeting new people is always fun. Especially here.
  • Girl: So, where're you from?
  • Me: Philippines.
  • Girl: Oh, cool. My brother's ex-girlfriend was Filipina.
  • Me: Oh, really?
  • Girl: Yeah. I didn't like her.
  • *Awkward pause*
  • Friend: *tries to alleviate situation* Well, I can't really see her going for your brother, so I guess it's fine.

two buddies, one black and one hispanic...

…talking about if they had daughters in the future and what they’d do to the boyfriends ala ‘Bad Boys’. I believe the context was something about rounding up some friends to help make life hell for the fella.

And then the hispanic guy says, “Yeah, you can help me with Juan and I’ll help you with Tyrone.”

Sometimes, I am an uncultured hick.

My professor was giving a lecture about opera, as we are taking up the Baroque era. He showed us a clip on a production of L’Orfeo.

All I could think of was how the costumes and props were so gaudy they looked like the bad guys from Power Rangers.

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.

My friend and I were looking at a map of the world
  • ...and when I pointed out Hungary to her.
  • Friend: Oh, I did a project for school on Hungary once. Because I was hungry.
  • Me: ...what?
  • Friend: The teacher was assigning countries. We could also volunteer for them. I raised my hand, and said I was hungry.
