TAGON-ONS USA , CALIFORNIA - CHRISTMAS PARTY - DECEMBER 12,

[Alibangbang]

K-Spy,

Dali kay mag jackstone, sud-sud, taksi sanan trudin tournament kita

abb,

nah, an gusto ko 1) sungka astan 2) tuhog-tuhugan nan lastiko sa bundo nan buhangin na an gamit gihay.

K-Spy,

1) If one's not cheating, (dab-san nan isa, duha ka bato) this is purely a game of chance. If one has the lucky stones, segurado, HANTOK.

2) Ini an lisod kay it requires talent, skill and precision. Kinahanglan mo balik ako pag high school to relearn chemistry's "elements" --- electrons and ionic bonding? Lose? gain? Kamo nan ini si Binignit an mag sparring partner.

abb,

i beg to disagree. sungka is where you put your mathematical skills to good use. kay haw dili, makahantok kaw agaw pero sunog. believe it or not, i have reduced sungka to pure science, as in may ako na gayud formula na by the 3rd round, pildi ta na kaw kay tilud na an imo bato. Darna!

anlabing an tuhog-tuhogan. the key is in the way you bury the rubber band into the sand. an critical ngad-on na mudaug kaw pag sambara para ikaw an una mo tudlis nan buhangin. haw ako, pagtudlis ko, kay daan ko na sa tinantiya an ako linubong, ako dayon pa laap laapon an ako tuhog na gihay sa bundo na buhangin na unsay tuling sa linimasan na la-u. adto manglupot dayon an iban na lastiko na singkitar mga tawgi na yangusli sa basa na sako na magay.

(hala, abb, uno say sako na "magay?" )

K-Spy,

Wooo.... I see. I got it all wrong ---my apologies. Perme ako pildi nan inin sungka and as Memen has conceded, I'm one who's easily doped. (Doped so easily that I actually believe what follows is legit chinese sentence: Ko sing lay pak, ko sing gaw lu. Bo kong ta kong bo tay la ). Confess, I’m mathematically challenge but not win even once, perme lagi ako ka isahan nan ako kawsin na imo na silingan koman. Shhhh. Don’t get me in trouble. So, pray teach me your formula so next time I come home, will be bold as to ask him for a rematch. Let's see the look on his face when I win

Magay… hahahaha… don’t shot while I’m down. Uno anhi rapid-fire sakaw taraw .
Sultihi naa ako kon unon Turong. Tapos unoy Magay? Yaon ini sa U ko kay familiar pero it’s buried ako pa ludlison (ugod na may na-nah).

[kampanaryo_spy]

Sultihi naa ako kon unon Turong. Tapos unoy Magay?

abb: turong is a head covering, be it a cloth, a leaf, or what have you.

magay is a jute sack. kadumdum kaw nan yadton sako na mabug-at na ag sudlan nan copras? amo yaon an magay na sako compared sa yaon sako na puti na ag ta markahan nan lanking.

K-Spy,

Ay uno sa iton kandinga. Dili ako maka tukod bisan pa pa tag duan kan kandila an ako posud (aray !!!! ) kay an tawag namo nan yaon pudong sa. As in: Si "Iya Iyay kon mag MENSTRUATE ag mag "pudong" nan puwa para dili tandogon nan iya bana. Kila kaw kan Iya Iyay Yang? Asawa balitaw ni Iyo Somabong? And yes, so the barriofolks said so. Naman at least once a month ag yadto siya mag pudong nan ---korek--- red na panapton. She and I became very good friends despite quadruple the age and a little hunchback kay kon mokadto yadto siya ka Iya Pati (Quico - K-Spy silingan nan mader in M.Y. (Butigz) ) mag iban yadto kami mag gutos and she regale me with wonderful stories. She has a special nook in my heart.

Yamat kaw K-Spy ga laway na hinoan akon banana turon

Uno na isab inin lanking

abb,

korek, PUDONG is a synonym for TURONG in the context of headgear. more archaic lang na titiyabon an TURONG than PUDONG naman i prefer using it. (i love all things old, remember?) the greatest difference of the two is that turong can ONLY be applied to rain. unlike pudong, you don't use turong when it's sunny.

"vaquero." am surprised you used this term kay wara ko ini hibatii sa tago. i heard this from our tenants' children in sagbayan. (another term i heard there was "bastikubre." am sure you played this many times and have in fact the facial scars to show for it. hala tukda uno ini na duwa.) vaquero an tawag haw magpasamsam kaw nan carabao, di ba? ganahani ako nan ini na trabaho labi na haw minsawup nan suga tapos sa imabaw nan carabao gapang-us kaw nan sinugba na mais. really, i love the country!

lanking? diyos diin kaw baya ini maghuya nanga wara kaw kakilan langking? arangi ka insik santos naadi. hala pag research, latusan ta kay kaw.

but because only fools don't change their minds, yadi an hulagway nan lanking:



yes, it's a chinese ink stick. (sosyal lang inin lanking nganhi compared ka Insik Santos naadi kay may case taraw.)

haw tig-ani na, imo ihikyad an mga sako na linapid lapid sa bantaw na kinlawi kay pagabutangan nan tinunaw na esperma na miniksklahan nan tungog. sa imo saing, luho na punon tubig. ituslo mo dayon an lanking haw patik deretso sa sako nan EHA-1. by doing that, dili kabayluhan obin makawat an imo sako.

lanking is a cheap but effective substitute for pentel pen.

K-Spy,

Turong vs pudong. Great... points well noted.

Vaquero your surprise kay an spelling ko spaniol. I guess the Tagon-on word is bangkero kay amosay tawag nila ni Lolo, Tatay and Nanay. OO yaon mosakay kita sa kabaw para ato e guide an kabaw na an iya samsamon yaon sagbot da. Dili an ugbos nan kamoti, patunsan or similya. Sakto kaw very relaxing ini na trabaho kinahanglan isab ini kay para ma control an tubo nan sabot dili ma outgrow an bag-on tanum na mga saging. This was our (my cousins and I) favorite chores summer afternoons. Mag pili kaw lamang kon hain na kabaw an imo sakyan. Tapos bangkero amo dad-on an kabaw paimnun sa tugunan. Pero K-Spy we have to be done before sundown kay kon mo sawop nan suga mag concert nasa dayon an hilam sa ato talinga.

Many years ago didto kami sa ranch nan family friend nan in-laws sa Tagay-tay bagan yadto basta may Antonio's Restaurant kay didto kami ga lunch and dinner. Tapos yanakay sila na waray montura an kabayo. Laong ko can I try. Basta yanga lagat sila. After I did my round ako paga komedyahan si Lu. na "not bad huh?" Hibawo na siya kay mangabayo sa kami ngadi but that was the first time he saw me ride without a saddle. Yahikatawa siya ako dakan dayon inpa unhan na I had good practice with balance riding carabao. Pero pagka silom ayay pagka sakit-sakit gayod nan ako lower part. Sa hunahuna ko sus amo seguro ini an feeling nan gikan in tuli kay ga sakiang sa gayod ako. Madayaw gani kay si father-in-law abtik isab mo dispense nan pain killer.

Bastikubre hahaha... of course hain an imo butyaw? Show me yours and I'll show you mind

abb,

lanking? diyos diin kaw baya ini maghuya nanga wara kaw kakilan langking? arangi ka insik santos naadi. hala pag research, latusan ta kay kaw.[/color]

K-Spy,
Now I remember
I love it. You made my day.

Bastikubre hahaha... of course hain an imo butyaw? Show me yours and I'll show you mind [/color][/size]

abb,

"vaquero" and "bangkero" are two different occupations. the first one is a pasture boy (David of the Old Testament) while the second one is a boatman (Noah of the Old Testament).

BASTIKUBRE is the Waya-waya's term for SIATOM!

K-Spy,

Brilliant analogy . What about New Testament's Simon/Peter and Andrew of Bethsaida?

Sakto kaw kay kon hapon na molaong sa kami. Nay, mag “bakero” kay kami ngadto ka Udo. (Walt??? )

An bangkero adto ini sa Gamoton sa unahan nan San Miguel kay kon tubas mag kuha nan humay. Idout kami nan “bangkero” in his bangka este baroto (nga sa dili kon barotero na baroto sa?) Bayad? .50 cents to 1 peso. Distance? Oh... 8 to 10 meters? Depth? Unfathomable because I couldn't swim

Bastikubre? This is how this game was played by us: If one has the competitive edge (balls), iya tamokon an baby stick na paga hampak nan daddy stick para mo lagpot. Ako na talawan depalita mo ipli kay basin kig dan sa babaongan sirit an dugo. Never really fully understood the logic behind the game… hala explain naah.

An bungsuwan ag samadan kay adto ipa sang-ga an hayopo na “stick” para hampakon nan taas na stick. Mo hanap na-ay nan right momentum ugsa hampaka. You hit it hard once for the stick to bounce dayon hampaka na isab para mo lagsik. After all that hitting, you take the small stick and in one breath, run home saying SSSSSIAAAAATOMMMMMMM. Diba mas mabibo an tumba lata?

[wambi]
