I am going Thai

One of my former school theater org adviser turned friend once encouraged me to watch a Thai gay-themed film, The Love of Siam. I am not into these kinds of films but after he gave me some overview (tissue-on-his-cheeks-because-he-cried moment), I watched it. The film was over-flowing with boys, good-looking Thai boys, but my eyes were only at one of the lead characters, Mew who was played by Witwisit Hiranyawongkul a.k.a. Pchy (Today is his birthday! Woo).  Aside from his cuteness, he also plays the electric piano and ukulele and he sings well. He is just so lovely!

After watching the film, I started to have some research on him. Until I realized, I have made a folder on my phone memory for his downloaded images. Then I twirled my tongue for me to sing one of his songs, and forced my brain to memorize it. Dude, it was a Thai song. And just like other die-hard fans, I learned common and easy Thai words and phrases. Learning their language almost killed me. It was really hard that I thought of going back to learning my algebra than learning Thai. But because of perseverance, and love (?). I somehow managed it. And so I learned to say chan rhak koon which means I love you, khob koon ka is thank you and all that.

It just didn’t stop there, I made a bet with my friend who was mentioned earlier, that if I make it at the top ten, national level of the Licensure Examination for Teachers, he must purchase the latest album of Pchy’s band, the August Band, fresh from Thailand. Yes, it must be shipped all the way from where it came from. Wait! There’s more! I made stories which I plan to present to Thai film producers/makers and have it as a project. Uh, uh, uh, there’s more craziness! I was so creative that I drew the national flags of the Philippines and Thailand combined, in the shape of a heart. :D

Use it!

Bago pa man nauso ang mga banat at mga pambabara ni Vice Ganda, nauso ang USE IT! Jokes ito na parang Knock Knock Jokes dahil gagamitin mo ang isang salita para... okay, alam na natin ito.

Sa Goin' Bulilit ko madalas marinig ang mga ganitong joke. Na minsan, havey at kadalasan, waley! O baka sadyang napakatanda ko na para matawa sa mga yun.

Eto, sample. Sisimulan ko sa pinaka-corny.

Use CONCLUSION in a sentence.

Use it!

CONCLUSION, hindi tayo makakapasok.

Use OPINION in a sentence.

Use it!

Pero kung OPINION, makakapasok tayo.

Eto, medyo benta naman.

Use ANILAO in a sentence.

Use it!

Hindi ka kasi nagsisipilyo, ayan, ANILAO na ng ipin mo.

Use HAWAII in a sentence.

Use it!

Ang yabang mo ha? Anong gusto mo, HAWAII?

Eto, pinaka-paborito ko!

Use CURTAIN at KITCHEN in a sentence.

Use it!

Huwag mo akong CURTAIN! Masa-KITCHEN!

Bahala na kayong i-gets o i-dig ang mga USE IT na ito. Anu-ano naman ang mga bentang USE IT para sa iyo? Share na :)

Bakit?

Hindi ko rin alam kung saan o paano nagsimula ang mga banat o chessy lines na binibitawan ng mga tao para magpa-cute o para may masabi lang. Basta ang alam ko, maganda ako sabi ni Mama (+) :)

Eh ang pinaka-unang banat na narining ko ay pure english kaya nakalimutan ko na. Tara sa Pinas setting.

Boy: Pustiso ka ba?

Girl: Bakit?

Boy: I can't smile without you eh.

Tapos nauso rin yung mga green-joke-type na mga banat gaya ng...

Miss, lampara ka ba?

Bakit?

Pahimas nga.

Naalala ko tuloy, nung una kong narinig ito, fail pa! Palpak version: Miss, lampara ka ba? Pahiram nga.

Ano? O diba? Parang ewan! Walang konek. Tulad na lang mga banat na pinauso ni Boy Pick-up (as seen in Bubble Gang, GMA) na in all fairness may pelikula! Ika nga nila, binago niya ang mundo ng pick-up. Tulad nito,

Driver ka ba?

Bakit?

Kasi...may puno kami ng kalamansi.

Nang tumagal pa ay sumikat na rin si Boy Back-up na magsasabing Masarap ang kalamansi juice, boy!

Para may masabi lang talaga eh 'no? Walang kwenta pero tuwang-tuwa tayo. Kagaya na lamang ng post na ito, walang katuturan pero post lang ako ng post para may mai-post lang.

So, anu-ano ang mga banat ang bentang-benta sa iyo? Share na :)
