Bad 'yon!
June 27th, 2009
The only person in the family who curses is my dad. We don’t really utter “bad words” unless we’re driven to it. Like we’re fuming mad about something. But then, Hazel’s there to remind us that it’s bad to utter those words. When she hears someone curse, she’ll immediately say “Bad ‘yon!” to that person. So who wouldn’t be reminded not to curse, right?
My uncle’s wife went to our house to talk to me about computers. They’re planning to buy either a desktop or a laptop for their kids. Talks turned to gossip and she said “tanga” (stupid) referring to a local celebrity who’s madly in love with an older woman. Hazel immediately told my aunt that “Bad ‘yon! Bad ‘yon, di ba?” and we hid our laughter.
Oo nga naman. Bad kasi ‘yon! Hahaha
