Ate Shawie Night, Part 3 of 3: There's Your Caption!

For those of you wondering how it all ended:

Yes, Ongson finally had her picture taken with the Megastar (Thanks to Lin for approaching KC and unintentionally dissing her haha. "My friend wants to take a photo with your mom.") and yes, Sharon, KC, et al. were all very nice. Nakipagkuwentuhan pa si Sharon with us for, like, 10 seconds. Haha.

Sharon, to Ongson: Why are you so quiet now? Kanina you were laughing so hard. Sabi ko nga sa kanila sana friends ko rin kayo kasi ang saya saya niyo.

Sharon, pointing to her friend: She's my best friend, friends kami since Second Year pa.
Ongson: Ah really? Kami since Grade 5.
Sharon: Aww, how cute! Hold on to each other forever ah!

...After they left,


Jeco and Lin: Oh! May caption ka na sa picture mo with Sharon!
Jeco, Lin, and Shatan: HOLD ON TO EACH OTHER FOREVER!!!

Everyone: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!



Disclaimer: No alcohol was consumed that night.

Ate Shawie Night, Part 2 of 3: Ever???

Having desserts with balikbayans Lin and Jeco (sorta) and Ongson late Tuesday night at Bizu.
Ate Shawie walks through the door with her daughter KC and some of their friends.

We dared Ongson to have her picture taken with her idol. (She will deny this, pero we know the truth Ongson! HAHA.)
But she was starting to get cold feet.

Shatan: Ongson pa-picture ka na! Game! Go na!

Ongson: Ehhh...Nahihiya ako eh!

Shatan: It's now or never!...Nakita mo na ba siya in person before?

Ongson: Hindi.

Shatan: So first time mo lang?

Ongson: Oo.

Shatan: ...Ever?

Lin: First time nga eh!

Everyone: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ongson: You ah! Are you cross-examining me??

Everyone: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ongson: Parang, "First time mo ba?" ..."Oo." ..."Ever???" ..."Umm, third?"
Everyone: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ongson:"Ikaw ba ang pumatay sa biktima?" ..."Hindi." .........."EVER???"
Everyone: HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Ongson: Well actually, na-meet ko na pala siya dati nung bata ako. Pero 4 years old pa ako non I can't remember.

Jeco, Lin, and Shatan: OHHHH!!!!! SABI MO FIRST TIME!!!
Shatan: HULI KA!
Everyone: HAHAHA!

Ongson: Oh I'm so sorry, Shatan. I failed your exam.

Ate Shawie Night, Part 1 of 3: No One Likes Awkward Silences

Star sighting! We happened to see Ate Shawie at Bizu while we were having late night desserts.

Shatan: OMG Ongson I dare you pa-picture ka! Go!

Ongson: Talaga? Umm, sige sige!


While waiting for the Megastar and her posse to finish their dinner, Ongson starts getting anxious.

Ongson: .......Ayoko na!

Jeco: Dali na!
Lin: Go na!
Shatan: It's now or never!

Ongson: Ehhh...Natatakot na ako. Nakakahiya.

Ongson: Ang hirap.

After a few seconds of silence,

Shatan: .....Bakit naman?


Ongson: Uhhh...ehhhhh...hmm. Ang hirap naman ng tanong mo! Kailangan ko bang sagutin?

Shatan: Ah, deh, filler lang iyon.

Ongson: Langya! You and your fillers!

Chick-Lits Are For Dummies

Recess to an ICAn always means:

(a) snack time
(b) sleeping time
(c) more time for studying and/or finishing homeworks/projects
(d) more kalokohans
(e) all of the above

But for our classmate Tatel, she uses her Recess time wisely: she catches up on her encyclopedia-reading, of course! What did you expect from a Promil Kid?


One time, seatmate Ongson noticed Tatel reaching for a huge encyclopedia from her bag and started a conversation with her.

Ongson: Oh, nasa E ka na??

Tatel, silent.

Ongson, her voice the perfect blend of playful mockery and cockiness: Ako nasa O na ako eh!

Tatel, opening the page where she left her bookmark, totally ignoring Ongson.

After a long, awkward silence,



Ongson: So anong bago sa Earth ngayon?
