Signs Of Our Time 160422


I won't be able to sleep if I don't share with you these funny signage of our present times!

Arriving at Borongan's Baybay Boulevard, I saw this dump truck..,
Whoa! The driver is a 1D fan? And my very own driver said 'what do you think of drivers, not updated"? Oo nga ano? Come to think of it, drivers are always tuned in to their radios - more often than students!

Well.., and but..,

In the morning, travel from Tacloban to Borongan was generally "uneventful", until I saw this..,
I was sure other people on the road (aside from me and my driver) also had a hearty laugh or at least a wry smile having read that thing at the back of the tricycle hahaha! "BASTA BAYOT SWEET LOVER"!

For those not in the know yet.., "bayot" is the Visayan (Waray/Cebuano) word for "gay male". And that expression is an aberration of an old time funny expression that says BASTA DRIVER SWEET LOVER! The pun in that expression is to suggest, boast, gloat that "if its a driver, it/he must be a sweet lover".

Now replace "driver" with "gay" hahaha!

Oh My Philippines! No wonder it is very easy for anyone to smile - anytime, anywhere!

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Carigara Delicacies as Pasalubong

Image
This was still on my joyride from Calubian to Tacloban, we naturally had to pass by Carigara. This time we "stopped-to-shop" oh ha?! My driver promised his three lovely daughters that he would bring home some pasalubong from Carigara, thus the 'shopping'. He went (I followed) to only this roadside store.., Well, he's been a driver for so long a time, I cannot contest his knowledge on where to buy the best of these pasalubongs! There are many stores on this highway strip, and I think they sell the same things! As the driver picked what he had to pick (and haggled with the vendors for more] I clicked hehe! Here's the honest deal about me and these sweets from Carigara - or other sweets from anywhere for that matter: I am not really too keen on any of them, such that I'd crave for, or plan to specifically seek them out. BUT - when I get started with ANY of them, there's no telling when I will/can stop. IF at all! I do not even know or care to know wha
