I worry I won't see your face light up again. - a songwriter named Howie Day


It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me. - from the movie Batman Begins


Anyone else care to share some quotable quotes?

HUWAG TUMAWID
NAKAKAMATAY

i don't know if you can consider these quotes, quotable, pero gusto ko lang siyang i-share:

Kung mayaman ka, meron kang "allergy";
Kung mahirap ka,ang tawag dyan ay "galis" o "bakokang".

Sa mayaman, "nervous breakdown" dahil sa "tension and stress".
Sa mahirap, "sira ang ulo";

Sa mayamang "malikot ang kamay" ang tawag ay "kleptomaniac" ;
Sa mahirap, ang tawag ay "magnanakaw" o "kawatan"

Pag mayaman ka, you're "eccentric";
Kung mahirap ka, "may toyo ka sa ulo" o "may topak" o "may sayad".

Kung mayaman ka at sumakit ang ulo mo, ikaw ay may "migraine".
Kung mahirap ka naman at sumakit ang ulo mo, ikaw ay "nalipasan ng
gutom";

Kung mayaman ka, you are referred to as someone who is "scoliotic".
Pero kung mahirap ka, ikaw ay "kuba";

Kung ang senorita mo ay maitim, ang tawag ay "morena" o
"kayumanggi" .
Pero kung isa kang domestic na maitim, ikaw ay "ita" o "negrita" o
"baluga";

Kung nasa high society ka, you are called "slender" o
balingkinitan" ;
Kung mahirap ka lang, you are plainly called "payatot" o "patpatin"
o"ting-ting" .

Kung nasa high society ka pa rin at ikaw ay maliit, ang tawag sa
iyo ay"petite";
Kung mahirap ka lang, ikaw ay "pandak" o "bansot" o "unano" o
"jabbar".

Kung socialite ka, ikaw ay "pleasingly plump";
Kapag mahirap ka at ika'y "mataba", "tabatsoy" o "lumba-lumba" , pag
minamalas ka, "baboy".

Kung well-off ka, at date ka rito, date ka roon, ang tawag sa iyo
ay "game";
Kung mahirap ka ikaw ay "pakawala".

Kung mayamang alembong ka ang tawag sa iyo ay "liberated";
Pero kung isa kang dukha ang tawag sa iyo "malandi".

Kung may pera ka ang tawag sa iyo "single parent";
Pero kung wala kang trabaho ang tawag sa iyo "disgrasyada" .

Health conscious ang tawag sa mayayamang puro gulay ang kinakain;
Habang kakaawa ang mahirap na kumakain ng ganito.

Sa exclusive school, "assertive" ang mga batang sumasagot sa mga
guro.
Pero pag ang mga mahihirap na bata ang sumasagot sa mga guro, ang
tawag sakanila ay "walang hiya".

Ang mayamang tumatanda, "are graduating gracefully into senior
citizenhood" ;
Ang mga mahihirap ay "gumugurang" .

Ang anak ng mayaman ay "slow learner";
Ang anak ng mahirap ay "bobo" o "gunggong".

Kung mayaman ka at marami kang kumain, you flatter your host who
says, "masarap kang kumain and I like you, you do justice to my
cooking";

Kung ghastly peasant ka eating the same amount in the same house,
your host will say to himself na ikaw ay "patay-gutom"
o "hampaslupa" o
"masiba".

Kung boss ka at binabasa mo ito sa PC mo, "okay lang";
Pero kung ikaw ay hamak na empleyado lamang, ikaw ay
"nagbubulakbol" kaya forward mo na agad ito dahil nasa likod mo ang
boss mo!

when hope dies, despair rise...

a funny quote na nakarating hanggang sa friendster ko:

HINDE LAHAT NG PINK, KIKAY! - Majinbu

Bill: An essential characteristic of the superhero mythology is, there's the superhero, and there's the alter ego. Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, Spider-Man is actually Peter Parker. When he wakes up in the morning, he's Peter Parker. He has to put on a costume to become Spider-Man. And it is in that characteristic that Superman stands alone. Superman did not become Superman, Superman was born Superman. When Superman wakes up in the morning, he's Superman. His alter ego is Clark Kent. His outfit with the big red "S", that's the blanket he was wrapped in as a baby when the Kents found him. Those are his clothes. What Kent wears, the glasses, the business suit, that's the costume. That's the costume Superman wears to blend in with us. Clark Kent is how Superman views us. And what are the characteristics of Clark Kent? He's weak, he's unsure of himself... he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race. Sort of like Beatrix Kiddo and Mrs. Tommy Plympton.

No wound strikes deeper than love that turned to hate. -King Creon (Antigone by Sophocles)

Conventionality is not morality.Self-righteousness is not religion.To attack the first
