New Year messages

I just cleaned up the inbox of my mobile phone and read these gems of Season’s Greetings. Hope you enjoy reading as I did before pushing these missives into the dustbin of frequency.

  • PARA DI MALASIN ANG NEW YEAR, huwag mo isali [ang mga] prutas na bilog na may itim ang buto tulad ng pakwan, chico, atis, atbp. ‘Wag maghanda ng ice cream para di matunaw ang swerte. ‘Wag maghanda ng may apat ang paa tulad ng baka, baboy, at kambing at baka tumakbo ang swerte. ‘Wag din mga isda at lamang dagat: malulunod ang swerte. ‘Wag din maghanda ng may pakpak tulad ng manok at pabo, para di lumipad ang swerte. ‘Wag ka na kayang maghanda? Ha Ha Ha, HAPPY NEW YEAR! –Dan, my brother
