What is Computer in Spanish

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.''Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked themto decide for themselves whether 'computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.

Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)

The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine gender (El computador') , because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The teacher proclaims that women won. JJJ

... to say or not to say.

Huh, sobrang sumikip ang dibdib ko ngayong araw na to’, actually nag-start pa pala sya kahapon. I never imagined na magiging ganito…. And again it’s the issue of MOPD going to other BU, career growth, trust, and friendship. Before… im already ok na in merchandising department, iniisip ko na ang pwede kong magawa at kung paano kong gagawing masaya ang mga bawat araw ko sa department. But after I heard the news na merong JDA training with the JDA consultant mismo, WOW, it’s one heck chance of a lifetime. Sinong mag-aakala na biglang may ganun? 1st time ever, and super na-excite ako then I realized ano pang use sa akin nun kung lilipat din ako ng ibang department. At dun ko din narealize yung mga maiiwan ko, ang nakasanayan ko ng trabaho… environment… mga taong nakakausap (ISD, other MOPDs)… (sigh!) Parang bigla akong na-O.P.
Im not sure kung dapat ko bang pag-sisihan ang mga nasabi ko o hindi. But im more of hindi ko pinagsisihan, freedom of expression… yun kasi ang nararamdaman ko e. Baka lalo akong hindi makahinga kapag kinimkim ko pa din.
Again, hindi ko gustong umeksena,. And ng buksan ko ang “topic” sa boss, I am 100% in no doubt na ginawa ko yun para sa “suporta”. I know you certainly need that…i know. Gusto ko lang maging honest. And I hope naiintindihan mo din ako. No need to answer kung naging insensitive ba or selfish…. hindi issue yun, kasi walang dapat na magparaya. Alam naman na natin kung sino diba… and I sincerely Congratulate you! You deserve that! Kilala kita.
We need to grow… and we both know na una-una lang talaga. And thanks din sa mga naituro mo sa akin. I hope the “issue” will not break us. Just remember the 6years! Good times and not so good times.I know my time will come, medyo natrapik lang siguro… =)
October will definitely swept my heart away :->+

Ang Pekeng LV Bag ni Giselle Sanchez

PINOYS TAKE TIME TO READ.

ANG GALING MO GISELLE!!! PROUD TO BE PINOY. Mabuhay ang OFW.
(CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!)

----------------

Fourteen years ago, I was also in the same place, but I was not smiling like this. The Spanish Steps is a very popular place, especially to tourists and Europe ’s Rich and Famous, because this is where all the designer shops are located. Fourteen years ago, I was also invited to hold a comedy concert for the Filipinos in Rome through a group of Batangeño producers.

Pagkatapos ng concert ko, sumama ang sosyalita kong kaibigan na si Cutie del Mar sa akin para mag-bakpak at libutin ang buong Italya. Palibhasa, hindi ako sanay na isang bakpak lang ang dadalhin ko para sa isang linggong paglilibot. ‘Di ko yata kayang magsuot ng parehong Tshirt sa loob ng tatlong araw. YUCK! Ang baho na nun ng over! Kaya dinala ko ang isang Louis Vuitton na hand carry. Pero, ito ay isang Louis Vuitton na peke, japeyks, class triple-A, galing Greenhills. Alam ko na mali ang bumili at gumamit ng peke pero sana maintindihan ninyo ako. Fourteen years ago, nag-uumpisa pa lang ang career ko. Kapiranggot lang ang kinikita ko at nagandahan lang ako dun sa maleta kaya binili ko. Wala pa akong malay sa brands noon. Kaya ganito na lang ang pagkukutya ng kaibigan ko sa akin.

Cutie: Oh my god! Is that a fake I see! Giselle: Sorry, hindi ako anak ng Congressman tulad mo! Cutie: Giselle, ano ka ba! Giselle Sanchez ka na! You can’t be seen with a fake! You already perform for the rich and famous not only in the Philippines but all over the world! When In Rome , do as the Romans do! Halika, punta tayo sa Louis Vuitton diyan sa Spanish Steps and buy yourself an original! Ang bilis lumakad ng sosyalera, wala ako choice kundi sumunod kahit wala akong planong bumili. Plano ko lang tumingin at bilhin yung usong model sa Greenhills uli. O.A. kaya ang presyo ng Louis Vuitton bags. The cheapest, smallest bag will cost you P25, 000. Regular bags range from P35, 000-90, 0000. And the big and real nice ones cost P125, 000-P180, 000. Sa pinakamurang bag, mapapakain ko na ang pamilya ko nang limang linggo. At sa pinakamahal na bag ay mapapa-aral ko na ang kapatid ko ng college! Ako pa naman ang breadwinner ng pamilya.. Why would I waste my money with such over priced bags? Eto na, pumasok na kami sa napakarangyang Louis Vuitton Shop.

Siyempre, hindi ko naman maiwan yung peke kong maleta sa labas, so sama si japeyks sa loob. At pagkakita ng mahaderang manager sa bag ko, bigla akong nilapitan, inikutan at tinignan mula ulo hanggang paa. LV manager: Excuse me, but what is your Nationality? Giselle: I’m Fil…(hindi pa nga tapos) LV manager: (whispering but loud enough for me and Cutie to hear) I knew it! You Filipina maids come in here to copy our designs. Get out of my store! Giselle: Excuse me! I am not a maid! I am an actress and I came here in Italy to perform for these “maids” you were referring to. And don’t you ever call them that!They are called Overseas Filipino Workers. Do not look down on our OFWs because they have dignity in labor. Do you work on commission, what’s your most expensive here? LV Manager: (Points to this type of a cabinet where the bags are displayed).

This one! It cost ___ million lira. (Nakalimutan ko na yung value, basta million-million kasi lira yung currency. Basta halaga ng tatlong buhay ko.) Giselle: Ganun! What’s your second most expensive? LV Manager: (Points to a luggage na kapalit ang dalawang buhay ko) Giselle: Forget it! You! (pointing to a cute salesman in the counter) I will not buy from you, Mr. Manager. I will buy from him so he can take the commission! I’ll buy this, that, this, that, and this! It’s too bad I’m not an overseas Filipino worker because they can buy more than what I can!

So what is the price of dignity? P500, 000.00—maxed on my credit card; paid slowly for three years; with my mom screaming on my ears every now and then. In fairness to these overpriced bags, they are very durable. I started using them fourteen years ago and I still use them up to now! People think I’m so classy using coordinated Louis Vuitton handbags, make-up kit, and shoe bags. Little do they know that Giselle became classy because of her being crassy.

Moral of the story, kung di niyo kaya, huwag manggaya at baka mapahiya. I never realized that paying for your sins can be quite expensive! Di bale, basta mapagtanggol ang dangal ng minamahal kong Overseas Filipino Workers! Mabuhay kayo…kahit mamatay na ako sa utang!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE FATHERS

ESPECIALLY TO MY PAPA!!!
