I borrowed the title from one of the great and missed bloggers, AuroraBorealis, known as little teapot. These are actually, snippets of events.
The Howling
I had never experienced a howling gale. Last September 28, a few minutes after I had gone home (the company made sense finally letting us go home because of the typhoon), Milenyo was felt. Its winds angrily striked at any obstruction that came its way. What frightened me is the howling that sounded like a live creature ready to devour.
Incommunicado
Then almost the entire Metro Manila was incommunicado. No electricity, no signals from cell sites. Totally nothing to reach others. It was boring to stay at home without electricity really. Cooking was a diversion worth the time.
Sleep Talking
Somniloquy is the other word for it. What if your mate mentioned somebody's name? What will you do? You get tired waiting for your name to be mentioned but it wasn't mentioned. Then you suddenly heard this, "Miss, ang ganda mo, pwede ka ba makilala?" (Miss, you are so pretty, can i get your name?")

Farting is Sweet
The Art of Farting. Our family makes fun of it. It is gross, yes, but I think the way we treat this gross bodily function - the fun thing of bombarding the culprit with all sorts of teasing and jokes - binds our family. :-P How do you treat it?
Oh man, that really WAS some storm, Bing. Glad to know you're all ok. I'm going through blackout hell myself... I'm now blogging from my bro in law's house in Caloocan. :-(
ReplyDeleteThat was some typhoon. :(
ReplyDeletelol @ #3. Yeah, what would you do? That would be the day. What if you're making love and you mentioned another person's name?...hahahaha. I read it in stories you know. That's why the noisy ones, beware. :)
On sleep talking - sleep is the ONLY time that I could legally make love to other women in my dreams so I told my wife to give me a break and that's the reason why she won't hear her name .. LOL :)
ReplyDeleteWhat if I hear my wife mention another guy's name in her sleep? I'd ask her - hey so what happened. Can you tell me about it? Now THAT will really get us both excited LOL :)
On farting... The funniest fart story I heard was about a shy guy who was slow dancing with a pretty girl. This guy had a terrible crush on the girl that he was grasping for words to say. Finally he broke the ice and started speaking when for some unknown reason, he blew a loud fart. The girl couldn't hold her laughter to the point that she placed her hand to cover her mouth whereupon her snoot ( sipon) came out and hit the guy in the face. Ha ha ha :)
my family could beat you on "art of farting"! they are good. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI was in manila during the typhoon. We had no electricity until I left the country last Saturday :(
ReplyDeletehi, single, up to now, a friend still takes to and washes her laundry at her sister's house very far away from her house. yea, that was really some storm. :-(
ReplyDeleteactually, ipanema, it was hubby who uttered those words, "miss, ang ganda mo, pwede ka bang makilala?" buti na lang sinasabi niya palagi sa 'kin yun, kaya medyo lusot when he said, probably ikaw yun he he he
that you could LEGALLY make love to other women??? uh-uh, you are naughty, naughty, bw. and you will really ask her what happened if she talked while asleep? ha ha that's cool
is that a real story? dyahe naman yun ha ha
can anyone in your family make a tune out of a fart, mmy-lei? my late father can. :-)
until now, duke, some farts, i mean parts, he he still dont have electricity.
long time no see! haha. was really busy these past few weeks/months. love the new layout! ive moved! :D
ReplyDeletegood thing we werent affected much in baguio. we just had a blackout on wednesday at 1pm and when i woke up at 5pm for work, the electricity was back already. it just rained tho it was really windy. heard that there were some areas in manila which dint have electricity fer like 3 days or more? hope all is well wiv you already. tc!
Pano mo na post sa sidebar mo yung number of hits mo?
ReplyDeletehey, mushy, been to your site. it has a nice lay out, too.
ReplyDeletetaga Baguio ka pala..
mon-mon, click mo presentations, then side bar widgets, drag number of hits to your side bar.
Be thankful you didn't hear 25 names uttered in between gasps and moans. Hehe.
ReplyDeletethat reminded me of a fellow worker who told me that if his wife heared him mentioning my name or any other name, for that matter, that would be easy to explain. he'd probably say, in his dreams he was simply talking to me. but if a name was uttered with moans, how would he explain that?
ReplyDeleteano kaya gagawin ko, nico, pag me kasamang gasps and moans? a, alam ko na, a slap on the face will do! he he he
"Farting is such sweet sorrow..." tama ba? hehe flatulence. Isa sa mga nakakamanghang proseso ng ating katawan. Hindi lang pangkalusugan, pang lipunan din. hehehe
ReplyDeletethat is the exact adage, i think :-) hindi lang pampamilya, pang sports pa. pwede kayang magkaroon ng marathon para dito, jhay? h ehe
ReplyDeletehi bing,
ReplyDeletehow are you? i believe in the saying that goes "it is better to fart and bear the pain than not to fart and bear the shame."
mahirap talagang mapagbintangan ng kahit ano higit sa lahat ang pag bitaw ng umaalingasaw na amoy!
have a nice day,
dp
ha ha napagbintangan ka na ba, dp?
ReplyDeletethank you so much for sharing your thoughts on farting. i like the saying. made my day.
