Spinach Toothpaste, Banana Leaf Napkin, Muriatic Acid Mouthwash, and Tomato Lotion

In one of our 3rd year classes, we had to come up with a product and defend it at the end of the term. On the first day, we grouped together and listed down different ideas.

The group members:
Jeline
Shannah
Ongson
Lin
Shatan

Jeline/Shatan: Ano kayang okay na product?
Everyone: Umm…
Jeline: Okay yung sa higher batch yung may jam..

…We couldn’t think of anything unique, we were getting bored so we decided to take a break. Nagjoke around nalang kami and started throwing in some stupid ideas.

Shatan: Spinach toothpaste! Good for the teeth yung calcium sa spinach.
Ongson: Haha! Okay yun! Nagtoothbrush ka na, nagka-tinga ka pa!
Everyone: Hahaha!

...The substitute teacher told us to keep quiet.

Shannah: Alam ko na, panty or napkin made of banana leaves.
Jeline/Ongson/Shatan, confused: Ano??!? Hahaha!
Ongson: Sige, gawin natin pero ikaw magtr-try. Tingnan natin kung may allergies…
Everyone: Ewww…Hahaha!

…The teacher scolded us once again…

Shannah: Or mouthwash?
Everyone: Sige pwede rin.
Jeline/Shatan: Ano main ingredient? Yung something unique.
Ongson: MURIATIC ACID! Shannah, ikaw magtetest ng product natin.
Everyone: HAHAHAHA!
Shannah: Walang hiya kayo!
Everyone: HAHAHAHA!

…By this time, nagalit na talaga yung teacher so she listed down our names and may minus daw kami. Si Ms. Entera ata yun…?


…Fast forward to our defense. (Our final product: Tomato Lotion)

We prepared all the ingredients and tried to make our own lotion with real tomatoes in the school’s chemlab. But hindi namin magawa kasi tumitigas. Final defense na the next day and we still didn’t have the final product.

Desperate times call for desperate measures...
So what I did was I mixed together an old bottle of lotion I found at home, crushed tomatoes, and a few drops of Jasmine perfume oil, and when we handed it to our teacher, she praised us for a job well done. She even tried it! Good thing hindi siya na-allergy. Haha! Bango daw sobra.

And our final grade? 90plus. Ha!

Transparent Skirt

One time after class, Ongson, Lin, and I decided to head out to Virramall. Pasyal pasyal lang, scouting for new items, and just killing time. When we got to Shoppesville, we passed by this stall selling jeans/skirts.

I can’t remember the exact conversation, but it’s similar to this:

Shatan: Miss, how much yung skirt niyo?
Vendor: (?) pesos.
Lin/Shatan: Meron bang color black?
Vendor: Meron.
Lin/Shatan: Eh pink?
Vendor: Wala.

…I think we then started asking if meron siyang skirts in weird and baduy colors.

Lin/Shatan: Eh lavender? Fuchsia? Neon green?

Vendor: Wala.
Lin/Shatan: Wala? Eh transparent meron?

...By this time tawang tawa na kami but we were just holding it in.

Vendor, serious: Transparent? Wala eh…
Lin/Shatan: Ah sayang, cge dibale nalang thanks...

…And as we were leaving:

Lin and Shatan, in unison: Bwahahahahahahahahaha!


To Ongson and Lin: Look what I found on the net! Who knew someone would actually make one? Haha!
