what is a cock??

Whew!

So this is what transcribing is all about... haha... remember when I've mentioned i'm planning to do podtranscription as a side line??? Yep! I was sent a transcription test where I had to transcribe a conversation between two attorneys interviewing the key person for a certain bill that some US senators are trying to propose. It's actually an immigration bill. I had fun doing it! Got confused a bit but it's fun because you learn a lot! HAHAHA... podcasting is a lot better that transcribing medical dictations by doctors hehehe...

At least I have something to do during my idle time here at work. Instead of singing along MP3s, eating, chatting with my seatmates, browsing and other stuff, at least I can be productive, RIGHT?? right.

Well, I just hope I did not create a lot of errors. Just wanna share with you guys that this is what I exactly heard while listening over the interview. Read on...

<18:08> John Gay: Well, I don’t think that Congressman Tancredo or any of the hardcore members of his cock would support the type of immigration reform we’re talking about or even anything useful.

Hahahahahaha!!!!

I checked Merriam-Webster online for the meaning of the word COCK. Don't get me wrong. I have the impression that this is one of those wholesome words which we think of otherwise.

Here goes:

Main Entry: ¹cock
Pronunciation: 'käk
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English cok, from Old English cocc, of imitative origin
1 a : the adult male of the domestic fowl (Gallus gallus) b : the male of birds other than the domestic fowl c : WOODCOCK d archaic : the crowing of a cock; also : COCKCROW e : WEATHERCOCK
2 : a device (as a faucet or valve) for regulating the flow of a liquid
3 a : a chief person : LEADER b : a person of spirit and often of a certain swagger or arrogance
4 a : the hammer in the lock of a firearm b : the cocked position of the hammer
5 usually vulgar : PENIS
- cock of the walk : one that dominates a group or situation especially overbearingly

HAHAHA....

But of course, I rephrased it.

Word for the day: COCK.

So when somebody tells you, you have a great cock. Please, by all means, think of it as something more of definition 3A. Is that clear???



When I tell you I love guys with big cocks...that means, I love guys who are great leaders.

Intiendes?

I meant that with all my heart.

let it snow.. let it snow... let it snow...

I read this article way back my college days and it never fails to make me laugh everytime i read this "diary". When i posted this article in my bobongpinoy group at Yahoo, i got mixed reactions from the members. Some just simply find it outwardly funny while most of them reacted in such a way that they even had to contemplate the Filipinos way of having misconceptions about living in the US. So guys read on... :-D

Dear Diary,
Am finally here in America for the first time. Very excited about the prospect of having a white xmas -- for a change. We're so sawa na with parols & puto bumbong.

Dec.15
Dear Diary,
My wife & I sat by the window all day, watching the snowflakes gently drifting down, covering the trees & the ground. Just like the xmas card my sister sent me. Oh, how beautiful! Nicer than the ash fall of Mt. Pinatubo. Tsk! tsk! kawawa naman ang mga noypi sa pinas, nagtsatsaga sa traffic at init.

Dec.16
Dear Diary,
Awoke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a fabulous sight! IT TOOK MY BREATh away. I offered to shovel my sister's driveway. I had great fun! A snowplow came by & accidentally tossed the snow back onto our driveway. The snowplow driver waved. His cheery smile & plumo rosy cheeks reminded me of Santa Claus. I waved back at him. What a nice guy! I began shoveling the snow off my sister's driveway again. No problem.

Dec.17
Dear Diary,
Gosh! Five more inches of snow! Overnight, the temperature dropped to 5 degrees below zero. The snowplow came again & covered our driveway with compacted snow. I guess i'll have to shovel again. It's quite fun, though it's freezin cold out there. I might get frostbitten if i'm not careful. So i put on several layers of clothes. Hmmm...ang cute ko pala sa colorful attire ko. Teka, magkodakan na rin kaya kami.

Dec.18
Dear Diary,
The temperature went up a little this morning, turning the snow on the street into brownish-grey slush because of the dirt. Then at night, the temp plunged to below zero again & everything turned icy. Ang pula-pula na ng ilong ko. A tree limb snapped & fell on my sister's new car. Geez, what a hassle! More snow & ice predicted. SHo-shovel na naman ako?! Ah, l___e,sumasakit na ang likod ko! Whew!..how i miss Enteng my houseboy.

Dec.19
Dear Diary,
P____g i__, ang lamig!!! The snow plow came by twice today. First it covered the streets with "sand" then it pushed the snow & ice mixed with the dirty sand onto our driveway again. Eh, 't___ i__, ako na naman ang magsho-shovel nun eh!!!! Ang hirap pala kung araw-araw mong ginagawa!!! kung nasa pilipinas to, pinagmumura ko na sana yung 't___ i___g driver na yun! Bwiset!

Dec.20
Dear Diary,
The power went off due to the snow strom today. Sinisipon na kaming lahat dito.Used a kerosene heater which later tipped over. P____gis, nasunog yung kilay at pilik mata ko. Shet! Bwisit na bansa ito!

Dec.21
Dear Diary,
Weather reports predict more snow. Wind chill: 7 degrees! Nagli-leak na yung bubong ng utol ko. All the plumbing pipes are frozen. Ano ba yan! Wala pang katulong! Mukhang ako na naman ang gagawa! 'T___ i_a, ang hirap ng buhay ng walang maid. pag bumalik pa yung hayop na snowplow na yun,sasalubungin ko na sya ng pala at palakol!

Dec.22
Dear Diary,
Anak ng tinapa, ang ginaw! Inabangan ko yung snowplow, hinabol ko ng itak yung driver, pero nakatakas ang kupal. Hindi ko mahabol dahil ang sakit ng mga daliri, toes at likod ko, at lumalabo na ang paningin ko. Nabubulag na ata ako!

Dec.23
Dear Diary,
Lumamig na naman. Dumami na naman ang snow. Sabi sa TV, aabot hanggang marso daw ang winter season! Ano?!?!?!? Ayoko na!!! Inyo na!!! B______a-ng-i__! kayo na lang dito. uuwi na ako sa pilipinas! sagabal na bansa ito!!!

Fly Me to the Moon (ala ako maisip eh)

It's been 3 straight days now that I'm looking for additional "rakets". Not that I'm in dire need of money.. I still have enough budget to pay for my rent, buy my food, etc.. i feel that i will do myself a favor if i will try to have other part time jobs so that i can SAVE and _{not spend} too much. hehehe...

Since i am online almost 24x7, might as well have an online part time job, RIGHT? right.

Browsing through a LOT of sites, I was able to locate a site that offers any kind of home-based jobs. Thing is, you are required to pay a certain amount, one-time payment that is, before you can work.. Not so nice. I don't wanna shell out money. So i again surfed and was able to find jobs that will make me earn dollars just by reading e-mails. YUP! JUST. BY. READING. MAILS. More e-mails you read, more money!!!!COOL huh!

Since i'm just about to start, i don't wanna brag too much about it. Id rather have the proof that i got the check with me then i'll surely let u know what this job is all about.

Another one: Podcast Transcriber. Which will make me earn 350-600 PHP per podcast transcribed. COOL!! haha...

I'm still in the process of learning more about this online jobs. Just to make the most out of my idle time at work ;-)



Nax... sipag ko no? Well, normal ko na yan. Hehe.

The Sonnet that I will always Love

i LOVE this sonnet by Pablo Neruda. I first read an excerpt from this sonnet while reading a newspaper featuring a certain married couple who placed an excerpt (the last two stanzas, to be specific) on their wedding invitations. I loved it so much and found it so sweet so i copied it and kept it for future use, haha! :-D All i knew then was that Pablo was a Chilean poet. Then when i got to watch the movie Patch Adams, Robin Williams who plays Patch, also read this sonnet to Monica Potter in the movie. Read it guys...you'll fall in love with it as well :-)

sonnet 17

I don't love you as if you were the salt-rose, topaz
or arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that doesn't bloom and carries
hidden within itself the light of those flowers,
and thanks to your love, darkly in my body
lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way because I don't know any other way of loving

but this, in which there is no I or you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep it is your eyes that close.

-- Pablo Neruda
