"Estudyante Po"

"Estudyante Po (I'm a student)". That's what I always say when paying my fare for a ride in Public Utility Jeepneys nowadays. The regular fare is now 11 pesos, up by 1 peso a few months back, when taking the Pasig Palengke to Crossing route. The discounted price is 9 pesos for students and seniors. Back when it was still 10 pesos, I didn't care much and I paid the regular fare. Two pesos didn't seem much to me. But now that its 11, I always make sure that I don't pay more than 10 pesos. Why? Because I don't want to dole out an additional coin. I'm used to paying with an exact 10-peso coin or two 5-peso coins. Now that I think about it, two pesos looks more valuable to me. It's 20% of the regular fare and that's a lot.

Get your potbellied pig to mate

Get your potbellied pig to mate! In case you don't understand the title of this post, don't worry, I also don't. I am just required to include that phrase in a new post. You can take it literally, in which case, it means "breed your pig". It doesn't make sense but what else could you make out of it? It looks like it's just a group of words stringed together with no meaning. keke
