So "halo-halo" == "scumpete"?Quote:

"Mahal" is very similar to our "scumpete", 'cause it can be used to both refer to a "dear" person (not the "kind of animal" meaning :D ) or high prices. ;)
Enough with non-pic posts in this thread. :eek:
Cheers,
No, its not. :pQuote:

Okay, fine.. you were talking of a different kind of Halo-Halo.
I thought you were referring to the Halo-Halo I know of. And it is a dessert. It's not a cocktail. :cool:
Somebody stop me! :D :D :DQuote:

Is it true that most ppl in Philippines don't know how to swim? :eek:
// hope u know am just teasing :wave:
Simply put, the alcoholic content of "cocktail" makes it different from "fruit cocktail". :)
LOL! I dunno. Haven't given it much thought. Why don't you ask your Filipino friends there at UAE? ;) :pQuote:

Most ppl in the philippines don't know how to swim?? yeah that is probably true. Water is very rare there :D
I find it funny too! To live surrounded by water and not knowing how to swim? :eek:Quote:

I recall being so excited as a kid, to have some warm weather in spring to go splash in the lakes of the city. Couldn't wait for summer! Never missed the opportunity to go to the Black Sea. But then again, I imagine that is not so much fun when you've lived on the beach in like... forever. :confused:Yeah, 'cause you're such a fun person to tease. :pQuote:

But if you think about it, even though Philippines or Sri Lanka is surrounded by water, its a pretty big chunk of land. So ofcourse, those who do not live near the sea/beach wouldn't know how to swim. Also, just because you were born or live in a place surrounded by water, doesn't mean you're naturally born with the inclination/want to learn swimming. Some people are hydrophobic.. among other reasons. :D
I grew up in the city. No nearby beaches and stuff, but I just love swimming and wanted to learn.. so we go to places where there are swimming pools.
It would be more ridiculous if your job involves most of the time in the water (like fishing, etc...) and not know how to swim. http://forums.codeguru.com/
Hmm. I get that a lot. :DQuote:

@cilu: Good that you remembered. ;) Sorry for going off-topic. I will shut up now. :D

1: me trying to force out a fart
2: me programming

Due to the off-topic issues being discussed for most of this day, here is someone laughing at you for it... ;) :D
dave, are you and Wayne Rooney twin brothers?
sid, what's with the grumpy faces on the whiteboard? Some sort of state of the art software architecture? :D
i am wayne rooney
LOL... :DQuote:

If you observe them closely, they seem to be looking over my shoulder and reacting to whats on my monitor... :D
/ So, I am not sure if grumpy describes their expression adequately... How about - Terrified and Embarrassed? :D
p.s. cilu i added some more :)
Yes, you are right. Terrified, yes. Embarassed, no. Perhaps I-Know-Your-Secret-Ha-Ha-Ha for the top figure.Quote:

Yep, their eyes are certainly directed to you. The top one I think is looking at your hair. And the second one is more like Ideru's reaction because you looked a 'lil different from your previous pics. ;) :D
// Its still a nice pic. :wave:
Yes... You are one of the people to be put in jail for consistently taking this thread off-track.Quote:
