One Negros

My kumpadre Titong D. owns a grocery store. He also raises chickens. I told him: "Pre, I thought you only raise prices."

Everytime we're told to tighten our belt when prices go up, I say: "Enough na, please." I have been tightening my belt a lot I now look like an hour glass.

* * *

Of course, you've seen an hour glass. It looks like a woman with waist so thin you'd think she got nothing to eat.

A well-known actress known for her sexiness despite her now having a son, when asked what she does as soon as she wakes up in the morning, said: "I take a shower, then brush my teeth and do vocalization."

Someone commented: "She forget to pray and thank God she's still alive and still able to brush her teeth."

There's a clamor for a One Negros Island Region. That the two Negros provinces be made one. No more Occidental, no more Oriental. But it will still be Negros and the people Negrenses.

PNoy was heckled in Dagupan and Iloilo while he was speaking. But reports say PNoy ignored the hecklers, even saying, "Maraming salamat." He was applauded in Iloilo where he inaugurated multi-billion-peso projects.

NEDA says tourist arrivals in Central Visayas have slackened. NEDA must know the score. But Boholano friends insist that more and more foreign and domestic tourists have been visiting Bohol, especially in areas where devastated church are situated.

In Cebu domestic tourists also continue to visit ruined churches in the towns where some of these tourists came from. This according to a travel journalist writing in a travel magazine in Hong Kong.

OVERHEARD. As fraternity hazing continues another frat neophyte has been reported killed in Manila. Heard in a mall eatery: "Naa pa gyud ni diay ang frat hazing? Sa ato pa gikataw-an lang sa mga karaho ang balaud batok hazing?" Replied someone: "Nganong moapil man gyud aning frat-frat ug mosugot ra sad nga bunal-bunalan og alho atol sa hazing?" Said another someone: "Mirisi sad anang gahig ulo nga mangapil sa frat bisan sayud sila nga kulatahon sila."
