Newbs – Let’s Play! Duwende Ka!

31 08 2008

That little man isn’t real you know. With his little bowler hat, long beard, crooked nose, and the fact that he’s not more than a foot tall, it’s pretty obvious. That little man is a duwende! Keep your kids from playing with these little fellas! Cris and Mickey teach you what to do when encountering a dwarf, and Jovitt adds his own insights on Philippine mythological creatures.

A: Bata, maglaro tayo!
B: Uuuh, sino ka?
A: Kaibigan mo ako!
B: Teka, duwende ka!

Translation:

A: Hey kid, let’s play!
B: Umm, who are you?
A: I’m your friend!
B: Wait, you’re a dwarf!

Newbs – Adobo… AGAIN?!

21 08 2008


Ever got home craving for a double cheese burger and all you got was a crummy salad? Ever happen to you twice… thrice… quatrice (there such a word?)??? Well, in this lesson, Cris and Mickey (who both sport a weird English accent) will teach you how to show disappointment, albeit in a rude way. Jovitt pipes in with his recipe for the delectable Filipino dish – adobo.

A: Ano ulam natin?
B: Adobo po.
A: Adobo na naman??? Sawa na ako sa adobo!!!

A: What food are we having?
B: Adobo.
A: Adobo AGAIN??? I’m sick and tired of adobo!!!

Newbs – Are you ready? Teka lang.

12 08 2008


Aiyo! So you’re friend is one of those slow types – 30 minutes to get ready to take a shower, another 30 in the shower, and yet another 30 getting out of the shower. Cris and Mickey give you a lesson on how to ask if he’s ready (which he probably isn’t). Jovitt flies in to talk about “Filipino time.”

A: Buboy, handa ka na ba?
B: Hindi pa.
A: Tara na! Late na tayo!
B: Teka lang!

A: Buboy, are you ready?
B: Not yet.
A: Come on! We’re late already!
B: Hold up a bit!
