Play With Words

Friend, pasensiya ka na ... pero I have to call you out on this. Marami nang bloopers ang nangyari to you in person pati na rin sa internet.

I am trying to understand you... Però noong naglaro tayo to give words ending in IQUE may napansin ako. After we gather the words ... we wrote it on the blackboard tapos binasa mo. Is this the first time you've heard the word' kaya ganon'?  Anyway:

Basa mo sa PANIQUE ... paniki.

Ng OBLIQUE ... obliki

Ng UNIQUE ... uniki

Ng BOUTIQUE ... butiki

Ng PIQUE ... piki

Ng MAGNIFIQUE ... magnipiki

Ng MARTINIQUE ... martiniki

Ng MOZAMBIQUE ... mozambiki

Muntik na akong nahulog sa aking upoan dahil iniba mo ang basa mo: Ng ANTIQUE (a province in Panay) ay Antik? 

Later on, Yong Isang town sa Aklan na IBAJAY (pronounced as Ibahay) basa mo ay (iba-jay) as in Jay Manalo?

Nagpapatawa ka ba ... or sinasadya mo? 

Both sabi niya. Yon pala eh. Now I know ... kaya mga tol moral lesson of the day: hinay hinay lang tayo sa paghusga. The sad thing was: hindi ko pa talaga kilala ng lubusan ang kaibigan ko. Binigla niya ako doon ha?

"Looks can be deceiving". For instance, the person's manner of talking the first time you hear them may not be their true self, their nature ... their character ... or quality, urging caution against judging solely by first impressions. What seems good might be bad and vice versa. 

It's a warning that reality can be very different from how it looks, similar to the saying, "You can't judge the book by its cover."
