I consider them my second family, and they have been very very nice to me... So I took the chance to bond with them and spend a few days off to work, to be with them.
Choy's titas were assigned during the day to accommodate the visitors and fix the pending bills and documents, while Choy and I were supposed to look after the guests and "gamblers" during the night. AND WE DID!
It was last night of the wake when I decided to join a couple of old folks who were playing Binggo since day one. The binggo cards were sold at 50 centavos each. And the winner gets around 16 pesos , less the 2 peso tong. hahaha!
But what drove me crazy was the funny filipino binggo calls that they use! hahaha...Here's a few example...
Sa Letrang...
- Sa letra ng I, sweet na sweet! = 16
- Sa letra ng O, matanda! = 75
- Sa letra ng B, kabaligtaran ng after! Before! = 4
- Sa letra ng O, kalbo! = 70
- Sa letra ng G, mabaho! = 56
- Sa letra ng N, pumuputok! = 45
- Sa letra ng B, heto ako basang-basa sa ulan! Aegis! = 10
- Sa letra ng B, kabet! = 2
- Sa letrang B, laplapan..... ANY GUESS?

Anyway, I had so much fun playing with these lolas til 5am. Inaasar pa ako dahil inubos ko daw pera nila! hahah...
