Libingan

True story: one of the artists at work wanted to get off early because he had to go to his Lola's "LIBINGAN" and being stressed that day I did one of my "Danni translations" in my head and thought It meant party --- (the logic)

LIBINGAN > LIVING > LIFE> BIRTHDAY

Plus he didn't seem sad. So I told him to finish the ad first then he could leave.

Wow they must've thought I was a bitch. Only later on, at around 11 pm, after he did everything did I let him go. My producer at that point mustered up some courage to ask me why I hadn't let him go to the funeral of his grandmother.

I was so upset at my producer for not having translated "LIBINGAN" for me.

Dagalog fail!

Buhangin for sale...

I was out of town and saw a sign that read: BUHANGIN FOR SALE. I now realize what BUHANGIN means, but before that I was like, why would anyone want to buy wind?

Pamasahe

The other day, my mom gave the maid some money as she was heading out of the house. She said something like, "PAMASAHE PARA SA YO."

So I looked at my mom and asked her to give me some money for a massage too.

Did you know that?
