Hanapin Mo!

 Where is the cat?  Kung makita mo ... 20-20 ang vision mo.

Words of Wisdom

Di ba dapat lang?  Ano ang gagawin mo sa bahay maghapong nakatulog? Tapos kakain ng pagkain hindi mo naman binili at niluto.  Buhay senorito ka ... pero dapat magising ka na sa katotohanan na hindi habang buhay umaasa ka kahit kaninong tao. Habang ang buong sambayanan maaga pang magising papunta sa trabaho ... ikaw naman bukas pa ang bibig na naghihilik.

Kaya pagdating mo ng bahay at wala kang madatnan na pagkain ... kay sinong kasalanan iyon?  At wala kang dapat sisihin at pag-initan. Pinili mo ang buhay na walang iniisip kundi sarili mo ... e di tiisin mo.  Alangan namang magtrabaho ang iba para may makain lang isang batugang katulad mo.

Some Reminders To Live By

Very true indeed! If you are RICH you don't have to convince the whole world that you are rich. People have their own way of knowing that ... and for you to emphasize that ... that was your big EGO talking. It is a big turn-off.

If you meant that you are rich because you have a mother working abroad ... then you just have deluded yourself. The money is your mother's ... not yours.

 If photo Number 1 is a pair of scissors ... is photo Number 2 a pair of scissors too?

Netizens Question

Netizens Question: Your "Caption That" post is something tricky ... how many really are 1 pair of scissors?

Answer: As scissors have two blades, they are considered a pair. Although the scissors itself is one item, the dual blades work as a pair.

In Modern English, scissors have no singular form. Scissors is an example of a plurale tantum or an English word that only has a plural form that represents a singular object. They always end in S (hence in plural form) thus a singular scissor is never used.

A pair of jeans is always plural.  You can never have one "jean" but a pair of jeans or simply jeans. In the same way, a pair of socks is plural.  There is no such thing as a singular "sock." A pair of trousers is plural. And a singular "trouser" sounds too awkward.

Netizen Question: Is a pair singular or plural?

Answer: If a pair ... is one thing they are considered singular.  Like a pair of pants ... a pair of scissors ... pair of shoes or a pair of slacks. 

Is the pair of shoes singular or plural?

It's a pair of shoes. Since "shoes" is plural, it's incorrect to say "a shoes". A pair of shoes is one set of shoes, one right and one left.

Demonstrative pronouns like this and these ... or that and those should also be plural.  Example: THESE (those) scissors are ...
