Yule season is here

It says here that most CSW (commercial sex workers?) have no complaints about their lot. They just want to be left alone. Just give them their daily bed and everything’s gonna be all right.

Many senators and congressmen wagered thousands in lotto trying to pocket the P600 million grand jackpot. That’s the hard way to earn millions. The easier way is just to wait for the pork barrel.

This actually happened in a school in Yokohama where the recently APEC summit was held. A primary student was asked: “Who is Barack Obama?” The answer was: “Prime minister of the world.’’

During the term of President George W. Bush, a school dropout in Indonesia was asked if he knew Mr. Bush. His answer was: “Yes, the king of America.”

My friend Daido Angel says many storekeepers seldom smile at their customers. What did Confusius say? “A man without a smiling face should not open a shop.”

Daido also says he has observed that many or most of the security guards in the shopping malls have unsmiling faces. They look angry. “As if,” says Daido, “all the people entering the malls are shoplifters.”

Some of the funniest spelling mistakes are on the cakes ordered by customers through the phone. Some of them: Congradelations! Merrychrist Mas, It’s a Gril!, Contradulations, 1No., Dad, Happy Faters Doty, Put a heart instead of love, etc.

As I write this, I’m listening to the old traditional Cebuano Christmas songs. It’s 2 a.m. and I get a beautiful feeling of the Yuletide season that has already started to come in. So let me say it now while I still can say it: “Merry Christmas everyone!”

Would you believe that I had been looking for this Christmas cassette tape like this in the local record bars and found none? It was bought in L.A. by my sister.
