a) madamdama - later or by-and-by. hehe6) Oh, and I also realized that Philippine mangoes cannot be beat! :D
b) gayam - the Ilocano equivalent of the Tagalog word "pala." For example, when I was served a coconut drink in a plastic container, I said, "Plastic gayam" . ;-)

E, pinatototohanan lang ang sinabi ni Mariah Carey na tayong mga Filipino ay mga unggoy. Kasi, wala tayong sarili, gaya-gaya lang tayo. Nasa Amerika ka na, binigyan ka na ng pagkakataon na kumanta sa Oprah, bakit kumanta ka pa ng kanta ni Celine Dion? Sinabi ni Mariah na mga unggoy ang Filipino, gaya-gaya lang kayo, e, di napatunayan nga, totoo nga. Kasi, di ba, what monkeys see, monkeys do. Dapat ang kinanta niya, bakit hindi 'Dahil Sa Iyo' o kaya ay kahit ano, basta kantang Filipino? O kaya Visayan, Ilocano...A few days later, Valenciano replied:

I got this mug for free during the Sustainability Conference last year at San Luis Obispo.
I only drank a small amount to limit its effects. With the ups and downs of life lately, I sometimes feel like I could use a couple of shots of this drink every now and then though. ;-)Labels: Environment
