I bought some clothes from the US that were regular sized. Meaning they’re long, not for petite women like me.
I brought the dresses for hemline adjustments to a modista just ’round the corner from the dentist’s clinic.
Button-looking canisters.
The one wearing pink was the assistant modista. She was the one who asked me “Mam, pwedeng magtanong?” But before I could even grant her permission to say something, she continued “Buntis kayo?”. (Are you pregnant?)
My sensitive feelings would not have been shattered had she added “First baby nyo?”

There’s a Monterey shop next door.
Me- Miss, masarap ba itong sisig? (Does this taste good?)
She- Depende. (It depends)
Me- (huh?)
Me again – Masarap ba ito?
She- Eh depende nga.
Me again (I scratched my neck)- Natikman mo na ba ito? Masarap ba?
She- Depende sa inyo yun kung anong gagawin nyo.
Me (Senyora, pardon, I was in the toilet when God sprinkled the earth with patience)
Me again- Ang tanong ko kung masarap, kung natikman mo na, hindi kung anong gusto kong luto, masarap ba or masama ang lasa?
She- Eh nasa sa inyo nga yun kung ipri-prito o i- ganun sa pan….
Me (cool Annie, breathe, breathe slowly, and leave, now na!)
Very interesting topic, thank you for putting up.
I read your site frequently and I just thought I’d say keep up the good work!
I wish more people would write sites like this that are actually fun to read. With all the fluff floating around on the net, it is refreshing to read a site like yours instead.
I enjoy eating sisig. I buy also from grocery.
Nice commentary. Last Month I stumbled onto this site and wanted to let you know that I’ve been gratified, going through your websites posts. I will probably be signing as much as your blogs feed and will wait for your next post.
I don’t understand, what is sisig and bunti?
