My friend Pia lives in Hawaii and has a Japanese friend who loves all things Filipino—from the Sex Bomb Dancers and Sarah Geronimo, to Boy Bawang and Clover Chips.
Pia's friend wanted to learn Tagalog and got this book called "Philippine Slang."
Cute cover, but its contents are enough to make you choke on your sushi or whatever it is you're having at the moment.

It starts innocent enough


and then...
I can almost hear my sister and nephews giggle

It even comes with an audio CD

What would Gabriela say??

Oh well. Pia, I want a copy! Hehe.
Buy it now!

hindi ko kinaya. I've lived in the UK for almost 2 years, but I am manang like that. as in I hate PDA, kahit pa lasing ako, I can't do it.
but the second time around, patulog na ko, natawa na lang ako.
maybe this is the vulgarity we need to teach in sex ed.
nang matigil na ang population boom at unwanted pregnancies.
haha!
naloka akech...

i'm surprised that there would be books about filipino language 'cuz it seems only a few are trying to learn filipino but i'm happy that there would be people who wanted to learn the language...
i guess since it's slang, it would contain those things...
but they should put something about being an adult thingy...what if it's a kid who gets to read it...
there's no milder translation for those things, eh?
...wonder how the audio would be?
but...ugghh...i don't wanna hear those things...

Suffice it to say, I got the shock of my life when I saw her pic naked from the waist up and there were also explicit text messages. Super yuckee! After that episode i made a feeble excuse about not needing a maid anymore. eeewwww!
