Old men still for it

HAVE BAT WILL STRIKE - Juanito V. Jabat   -

It says here: “The very oldest men still interested in sex.” So what else is new? Men are men. I mean, men should be men.

* * *

I know, I mean I’ve heard of men past 80 and 90 who still go for it. But their number is few. Not due to lack of oomph but because of illness or lack of opportunity.

My favorite senior citizen, Noy Temyong, who now wants to be called only as Noy-T, says: “Ang gana sa lalaki dili gyud mawa. Ang mawa mao ang ilang gigagahan nga parison sa lantay.”

* * *

 “An old man’s craving for sex will forever be his for that’s the will of Heaven,” says Noy-T in English (he speaks good English being a college graduate). “Problem is illness sometimes puts him out of commission.”

I wrote here not long ago about people who can’t start speaking without using the word “Actually” some pronouncing it “Acshuwaly.”

You often meet these people on TV especially during interviews. Celebrities or many of them love to start their statements with “actually.”

* * *

The only celebrity I know who doesn’t start answering an interviewer’s question with actually is Manny Pacquiao. He often starts his answer with: “You know.”

My friend Daido Angel who loves watching interview programs on TV, makes time to count how many times an interviewee utters “actually” throughout the show. Once, he said, he counted 26 times a school official uttered “actually.” Hehehe.

The public is urged to buy Pinoy products this holiday season. One business organization that has been doing this is Aboitiz. The products this distinguished company gives away as gifts to friends at Christmas time are made in the Philippines.

* * *

No, they are not products of giant manufacturers in Metro Manila but of cottage industries located in such places as the Mountain Province, Calamba, Batangas, Bohol, Negros, Davao, etc. And many of these products are “originals” like the Mango Chutney from Calamba, Gourmet Tuyo from Davao, Bignay Wine from Victorias City.

Someone gifted me with a walking stick (yes, a cane) made of Philippine hardwood. Attached to the cane is this note: “Someday you can use this when you grow old.” Until now I’m still scratching my head wondering what the giver (a friend) meant.
