Hahanap-Hanapin!

Looking for Something


Hala, hanap dito . . .
Go ahead, search here . . .


Hanap doon!
Search there!


Ay hindi si Sweepy no! Halika nga dito, Sweepy, at samahan mo ako!
Oh, I'm not looking for Sweepy! Oh, come with me, Sweepy!

Samahan mo akong maghanap!
Join me in my search!


Ahahay, nakita rin!
Ahhh, found it!


Nakup! Sino kaya nagbili ng taho sa atin?
I wonder who bought this soya drink for us?

Ang Undas


All Souls Day


Hala! sindihan na ang kandila!
Go ahead and light the candle!

Iyan ang magsisilbing ilaw sa mga gumagala na aswang, ay este, kaluluwa . . . sa paligid.
That will serve as the light for the wandering ghost, er, I mean, souls around you.


Masdan mo at ayan na ang mga kaluluwa . . . nagsisidating na!
Watch and see the souls coming!

Nangangaluluwa na ang mga tao tuwing Undas!
People are waiting for the souls of their dearly beloved!

Pero kapag dumating, nanay ko po, halos mawala sa sarili sa takot!
But when the souls arrive, mama mia, they seem to lose their minds in fear!

Hala takbuhan na, kabayan!
Run, my countrymen!


Ay sus, santabarbaridad! Si Luchie lang pala! Hoy, nananakot ka ba, Luchie?!
Ahhh, santabarbara, it's only Luchie! Are you scaring us, Luchie?

Luchie: Aba malay ko sa iyo! Masama bang tumayo at pagmasdan ang jardin? Masyado kang matatakutin sa wala!
Luchie: Oh, I don't know with you but I am just watching the garden! You scare yourselves over nothing!

Hay naku, umuwi ka nga Quark at wala pa rin akong translator! Malabo na rin ang mata ko!
Oh, please come home Quark because I do not have a translator and my eyes are also blurred!

Para Kay Mimi (For Mimi)



Mapayapa ang mundo ko, Mimi.
My world is peaceful, Mimi.

Nariyan lagi ang mga mahal ko . . .
My loved ones are always there . . .

Bumagyo man, tumindi man ang init, matuyot man ang lupa, malanta ang halamanan, aba sa paglubog o pagsikat ni Haring Araw, bumanbangon muli ang mundo ko!
Come stormy weather, or in the harsh heat, when the soil dries up, or the plants fade and fall, but when the King Sun sets or rises, so will my world!

Hindi mahalaga na maayos parati ang mundo mo . . .
It is not important that your world is always alright . . .

. . . ang mahalaga ay IKAW ang laging payapa . . . magulo man ang mundo o hindi.
. . . the important thing is that You are at peace . . . whether the world is in shambles or not.

Babala! Gumagala Ang Mga Baliw!

Warning! The Wackos Are Roaming!
notey: my translators are on holiday so i translate myself


Iyan ang tahimik kong mundo . . .
This is my quiet world . . .


At eto ang nangyayari kapag inatake ka ng kabaliwan!
And this is what happens when you get attacked by the crazy world!


Nagmumukha kang nasasaniban ng kung anu-anong walang ka-kwenta-kwentang kabaliwan!
You will look like you are possessed by a nonsensical madness!


Pati ang anak kong si Sweepy nagmimistulang nawawala sa sarili!
Even my pup Sweepy look like he is out of his mind!

Pero teka, si Sweepy nga pala ang may pasimuno ng mga ito.
Mag-ha-halloween daw kami sa mall. . .
But wait, it is Sweepy's idea that we dress like this for a Halloween event at the mall.


Hoy Sweepy! Kailangan ba talaga tayong magbihis ng ganito? Hindi ba puede na iyung collar lang natin? Saka mukhang halimaw naman ang mukha ko di ba? Hahahaaa-hatsing!
Hey Sweepy! Do we really need to dress like this? Can we not simply wear our collars? Besides, I already look like a beast right? Hahaha!

Sweepy: Popsy, we need to be in costume so we get a treat!

Eh ano ba ang treat na iyan?
But what is the treat anyway?

Sweepy: It could be anything! Your fave bacon, biscuits, frozen yogurt on sticks, etc.!

Naku, meron na tayo ng mga iyan sa pantry at sa fridge di ba? Eh bakit pa tayo pupunta sa mall na sigurado akong pagkakaguluhan na naman tayo doon! Baka mahawa pa tayo ng kung anu-ano doon!
But we have all those in the pantry and fridge so why do we need to go in the mall? We will only get mauled there and we might even catch something there!

Hay naku dito na lang ako sa bahay ko. Mag-halloween kang mag-isa sa mall!
Oh you go to the mall alone because I'm staying put in my house.


Ang Samhain ay bagong taon ng mga bruha at para sa Katoliko na pilit sinasabayan ang mga kaganapan ng mga pagano, ginawa nilang araw ng patay at kaluluwa ngayon.
Samhain is the new year of the witches and for Catholics, who created their own festivities to coincide with those of the Pagans, made it All Souls and Saints days.

Para sa mga hayop na katulad ko, ito ang linggo ng pagharap sa mga bago sa mundo. Pagbabago ng tingin sa hinaharap at pagtanggap ng mga pagbabago na kahit mistulang nakakatakot at nakakalito, ito ay sadyang may pakinabang sa iyo. Basta handa ka lang na tanggapin ito.
For animals like me it is the week of facing the changes in the world. Changes in your perceptions and the acceptance of these changes, which may look confusing and frightening, but will benefit you in the end, as long as you are ready to accept it.

Maligayang pagbabago, kabayan!
Have a happy transformation, my countrymen!

Kamukha Ko (My Look-Alike)


Iyan daw ang kamukha ko sabi ni Lui.
Lui said these are my look-alikes.


Ay naku Lui, wala akong katulad no. Itaga mo iyan sa bato.
Oh Lui there is nobody like me. Mark that on a stone.

Ako ang pinakamaitim, pinakamabangis, pinakamabilis, at higit sa lahat pinaka-astig. Eh saan ka pa?
I am the blackest, the wildest, the fastest, and most of all, the coolest. Where else can you find that?


At sa mga impostor eto ang sa inyo!
And for the impostors here's to you!


Isang hinga ko lang tumba na kayong lahat!
It takes a single breath to put you all down!

Teka wag kayong lalapit. Sadyang malupit talaga ang hininga ko. Pamatay talaga yan.
So don't go near me. My breath really kills.

Hay naku, bayan. Malapit na ang undas at marami na naman ang baliw sa paligid . . .
Oh, my countrymen, the day of the dead is near and there are many crazy people around . . .

At sa totoong Samhain, mabubuhay na naman ang natutulog kong kalamnan. . .
And for the real Halloween, my internal fires will awaken once again. . .

Wala pa rin si Quark kaya't ako rin ang nagsalin ng mga gunitain ko.
Quark is not yet available so I translated my own reminiscing.

. . . kurut kurut kinulisap na kukuti sa kumukulong kalapati sa kakawati . . .

Tula Ni Lui

Poetry by Lui


Ako ay may Alaga
asong matanda
ay este!
. . . asong mataba . . .

I have a pet, an old dog, oopsy! I meant a fat dog . .
.

Ang buntot niya'y mahaba
ang kuko niya'y mahaba rin!
. . . his tail is long and so are his nails!

Ang kulay niya ay dilim
pero ang puso niya
ay singlinaw ng araw sa umaga!
His color is dark but his heart is as bright as the morning sun!

Subali't mag-ingat ka lang sa "poet" niya ;-)
at baka mahamugan ka
ng simoy ni kamatayan.
But watch his "poet"
because you might get misted with death.
(a play on words: "poet" sounds like 'puwit' which in Pilipino means 'butt')

Ang Tula Ko Kay Sumo Tapos Na Po.
My Poetry For Sumo Is Done.


Hay naku, bayan! Iyan ang nagagawa ng walang magawa. Kapag nainis ako na-uutot kaya ako!
Oh my countrymen! Now that is what some people do when they have nothing better to do. And when I get irritated I tend to fart. So watch it!

Nasa bakasyon si Quark sa Europa kaya wala akong translator. Uwi ka na Quark!
Quark is in Europe on vacation that is why I have no translator. Please come home, Quark!
