Slip Of The Pen

A slip of the pen is a mistaken piece of writing when something else is intended.

It refers to unintentional errors made while writing often involving mistakes in spelling, grammar, or using incorrect words.

Sa slip of the pen na ito ... 5 interpretation lang ang mabuo sa nakabasa nito.

1. First interpretation - pagkatapos mo mag-eat all you can ... bibigyan ka ng libreng sabon ... bilang pasasalamat sa pagkain mo sa eatery nila.

2. Second interpretation - Pwedeng kamayan ang style sa restaurant na ito ... at pagkatapos mong kumain ... pwede mong gamitin ang sabon nila para may panghugas ka ng mga kamay mo.

3. Third interpretation - Honest mistake ... hindi talaga alam ng gumawa ang right spelling ng SOUP.

4. Fourth interpretation - Yong fried chicken nila ... baka sabon ang gravy.

5. Fifth interpretation - The mistake was not deliberate or had no bad intent. Tao lang ... nagmamadali lang kasi.

Kita ninyo? Kaya kung kayo ang na-atasang sumulat ... basahin ninyo at i-proof read ang mga pinapaskel ninyo. If I am the owner of the restaurant ... I will be extremely offended dahil ayaw kong ... mag-boomerang ang sisi sa akin ... at sabihin okay lang sa akin ang mga glaring errors na ganyan.

You're fired!

Slip Of The Tongue

An occasional slip of the tongue ... or a slip of the pen is normal and is quickly forgiven by the person listening or reading... that is ... if they even notice it. Even when they do, most people most of the time will recognize a slip of the tongue or pen for what it is and realize that what you meant to say or write ... is not what you did say or write.

I was shopping at CitiMall in Passi City last Sunday when I saw a Filipina and her white hubby in tow doing groceries ... and suddenly the lights went off.

Hubby: BROWN-OUT at this time of day?

Wifey: It is all fun in the Philippines honey ... and that includes POWER OUTRAGE!

Then she gave the Filipino shoppers who were amused at their exchange ... a look as though she was saying: "O kitam naka-English ako."

Look lady ... just so you know ... POWER OUTRAGE is not the same as POWER OUTAGE!

Amazing Earth

 If Dingdong Dantes has Amazing Earth on TV ,,, this blog has an Amazing Earth series that will leave you breathless as your jaw drops either of disbelief or a state of shock.  Let me remind our readers that the photos are not ours ... so kudos to the person who owns the images.  We are just too happy to share them with you ... that man since time immemorial has created a lot of stupefying ideas only a genius can think.  They made these ideas happen and we are here to marvel at their beauty ... the time and money spent on it ... and the sleepless nights they spent perfecting their craft.

Structure: Heaven Gate Arch

Location: Tian Men Mountain Yongding District Zhangjiajie China

Year Created: Early in the Ming Dynasty a wooden memorial gate covered in yellow-glazed tiles was built on the present site. Known as the Gate of Receiving Grace from Heaven (Chengtianmen), it burned down and was later rebuilt in 1465 during the reign of the Ming Emperor Xianzong.

Description: Heaven Gate Arch is considered the highest naturally formed arch measuring 130 meters high 55 meters wide and 60 meters in depth. Tourists can ride via cable cars and when they reach the place they can walk kilometers on pathways built on the cliff face. To reach the top of this landmark a tourist worth his salt has to brave 999 steps on the stairway to heaven.

Photo Story

A photo story is the intentional use of photos or images and the words or caption that was used to come up with a story ... not necessarily the literal meaning of what is obviously shown. 

To better understand the photo story, it would help to understand what a photo story is not. Try to read the words and caption that goes with it. At the end you will realize ... the photo story tries to convey and inject a more deeper meaning ... you will be surprise ... a moral lesson will just fall off in your lap. 

In photojournalism, the technique used depends heavily on the way the author associate the photo or the image to the caption or text and how he played with both of them. In photo stories the author wants to explore the theme or the idea.  If the readers identify the theme ... and live through the photos ... then the photo story and its caption was done right and was successful in its intent.

Just like the image above ... it is far from reality where birds will drop by and pay you a visit when you are sick. It is surreal and was exaggeratedly done.  What we don't realize the author tricked us by telling us a story or essay not necessarily in words but by the use of images. And the caption or text that goes with it helps narrates and navigate the story.

The image above is obviously referring to friendships. When the man was unable to do his routine visit in the park, the birds were worried sick what happened to him.

It goes to show that out of 100 friends you have ... the real ones showed up when it mattered.

If you are a good person ... a lot of your friends value that.  And the only way to show that ... in your absence ... is when they will make you feel that they miss you.  Either they will call you ... or pay you a visit at home.

The same perspective can also applied to family, romantic and other types of relationships.
