So I found this nifty little app that allows me to post to my weblog using my iPhone. Looks like a decent app, even though it has a tendency to crash. But I guess nothing’s perfect, eh?

Anyway, this means I can now post my disturbing thoughts anywhere, which is pretty convenient for me. Many times I had some nasty little things between my ears that I wanted to share, but they always had a tendency to fizzle by the time I get home and sit in front of my computer. Not anymore

I’m just on my way back from the bank right now… Hmm… banks… I got a shitload to say about banks, but I guess I’ll save that for a later posting…

So, does the app work? Well, I’m posting this entry from my iPhone right now, so if you can see this, you got your answer…

For the last couple of weeks, I have been winning the war with the common cold.  Just this week alone I have been sneezing like crazy every night, nose starting to clog up, snot threatening to flow like the amazon river, and my head aiming to throb like a bass amp being used by Les Claypool… but so far, when I wake up the next day, all traces are gone.  No cold, no sneezing, no congestion, no headaches.  I’ve been lucky… so far…

Might be because of the two 500mg tablets of Vitamin C that I take everyday… might also be the Iburpofen PM I swallow every night… might even be daily P90X regime I have been doing for the last two months.  In any case, the game of cat and mouse with the common cold has me the victor everytime… so far…

The chilly winds still prevail here in California – wind chill factor is probably in the low 50s – and I have several outdoor engagements to go to.  And it’s not even November, yet… I hope the cold (or the flu) won’t conquer me at the most inopportune time this December… if there’s anything worse than spending Christmas alone this year, it is spending it alone with a cold.  So I say to the common cold, “Have at thee!  Thou shalt not striketh me down if it’s the last thing I do!”  Or is that tempting fate?  Well, if it happens, it happens.  But I’m gonna be enjoying a cold-free weekend, and these tiny viruses are not ruining the remainder of my year…

… so far…

… I hope…

Tae simply means shit or crap or manure or feces or dung or excrement or curiously large fly puddings. Sometimes it is known by such auspicious names like dumi, ebak or eklats.  Unlike Americans, Filipinos do not use it as a derogatory expression or swear word, rather we use the word “shit” itself, not tae – so much for cultural identity, huh? (commonly used as a noun or a verb, and commonly wiped with tissue paper or washed with water in a tabo).

Word Usage:  

May mais ang aking tae! 
(There is corn in my shit!) 

Ayoko nang tumae, puwit ko’y nauumay 
Nabibisto sa ‘king tae, ang aking kinakain.  
(I don’t want to shit anymore, coz my fanny’s getting numb, 
When one glances at my shit, they usually find out what I just ate.)  

Kung gusto mong tumae, diyan ka lang sa tabi 
Dahon ng bayabas, ang iyong pampunas… 
(If you want to take a shit, you shit in the corner 
The leaves of the guava, you use as tissue paper…)
