Is The Big One Coming?

After 3 volcanoes showed signs of unrest ... one friend was asking if Mayon, Taal at Kanlaon has a chat group and it looked like the troika have texted and emailed each other, and agree to blow their steam together to make an impact. And a good scare to Filipinos.

As they make their presence felt, experts explained that they are not in any way connected, and it is just a coincidence that they are all acting up at the same as if giving us a full trailer of the BIG ONE.

Idioms of The Day

 

Let's start using idioms or idiomatic expressions when we write. When idioms are used, it adds color and texture to language by creating images that convey meanings beyond those of the individual words that make them up. An idiom can be very colorful and make a 'picture' in our minds. It also shows the writer's familiarity with English. When you want to make your writing sound more conversational, including idioms can give your writing a more relaxed tone.

Idioms allow us to say a lot with few words. Idioms amplify your messages in a way that draws your readers in and helps awaken their senses. It adds dynamism and character to otherwise stale writing. They make your writing less monotonous and your readers will think that you are smart and knowledgeable. All the while ... you only clothe your writing with elaborate idioms to create an impact... saying too much with less. 

To perfect your English, you really need to become confident in using idioms and knowing the difference between breaking a leg and pulling someone's leg. So the idiom of the day is:

IDIOM: Hit the sack.

MEANING: It's time to go to bed. Other idioms: hit the hay

ORIGIN: “Hit the sack” come from the fact that in olden times mattresses used to consist of cloth sacks stuffed with hay. Some historians go so far as to suggest that “hit the hay” and “hit the sack” come from the practice of fluffing up the hay inside the mattress before lying down to sleep.

USING IT IN A SENTENCE: The job interview will start at 8 AM ... so I might as well hit the sack.

Happy Father's Day

To the first man we ever loved, Happy Father's Day! Let's give them the "king treatment" that they deserve
 

MY Dad

I remember my Dad ... nagbibiro pala ... pero wala pa akong reaction. Palagi na lang delayed reaction. Kung minsan dahil nakita kong pinagisipan niya ang mga jokes niya pinagbigyan ko na rin ... tumatawa ako kahit hindi nakakatawa. 

Paano kasi ... kulang siya sa punchline ... and more often than not wala siya sa timing. Kung kailan ba naman masakit ang ngipin mo ... doon siya mag-crack ng jokes.  At kung napansin ninyo para siyang si Jhong Hilario ng It's Showtime ... ang hilig hilig mag-joke ... sablay naman. At siya lang tumatawa sa mga pa-witty remarks niya.

On Father's Day ... I want to celebrate his day by making a list of clever puns ... at sigi na nga ... para masabi man lang niyang  ... I am a chip off the old block. At dahil wala na siya ... pinili kong pagkain ang motif ... para magiging dominant ang theme at para na ring nasa hapag kainan tayo celebrating Father's Day. 

So what are you waiting for? Choose one of the most catchy phrases you can think of ... and write those hilariously funny puns and make Dad the happiest. It is not every day that you will be together ... so while you still have the time ... make it happen. Here we go:

• "HOLY BEE ... Holy Toledo ... it's Father's Day. 
• MANG INASAL you are our CHOW KING.
• "Dad ... You meet all of the COLA-fications."
• "You know how to make things BUTTER."
• "I DONUT know but I choose this song ... how could we ever live without you."
• "I love you from my head TOMATOES."
• "Let's TACO 'bout how much you like the BELL bottom."
• "You did GRAPE job raisin me."
• "I can't ESPRESSO how much we love you."
• "You're one in a MELON."
• "NACHO funny jokes Dad."
• "Where ever you are I miss you, just in QUESO you didn't know."
