Uy, Gising Ka Na Pala, Sumo!

Hey, So I See You're Up, Sumo!
English by Bogart



Aba, siyempre.
Gising na gising!
At gigil na gigil!
But of course, I'm so awake and quite mad!



Aba, bakit naman?
At ano naman iyan sa harap mo?
Oh, but why? And what is that in front of you?



Ito ang kulay ng kandidato ko sa darating na eleksyon sa pagka-Presidente.
This is the color of my candidate for the coming Presidential election.



At kaya ako galit, kasi balita ko maraming tao ang hindi pa rin sigurado kung sino ang kanilang iboboto!
And the reason I am angry is because I heard that there a lot of people who are not yet sure as to who they will vote for!



Kung ako nga ang dali kong nagpasya eh sila pa na tao at mas matalino kuno sa aming mga aso, aba eh pa-isip-isip pa! Pabago-bago pa ng isipan. Walang kinakapitan ng lakas ng isipan at talino!
Well, I easily made my decision but these people who they say are more intelligent than dogs like me are still undecided! They keep changing their minds. They have no strong convictions!


Aba, mukhang may pinatatamaan ka ata ah! Eh sino ba talaga ang tinutukoy mo?
Hey, you seem to be referring to someone in particular! Who are you really referring to?



Aba, sino pa? Eh di si Lui mismo! Papalit-palit ng isip!
Who else but Lui who kept changing her mind!


Ang pagpili ng kandidato ay dumadaan sa masusing pagninilay-nilay dala ng sigaw ng pagbabago at pag-unlad! Mahalaga ito hindi lang sa mga tao pati rin sa aming mga hayop! Kaya dapat isa-isip! Alamin at magpasya ng tama!
Choosing a candidate must pass through a strict process brought by the need for change and progress! This is important not only for people but also for animals like me! That is why it is important to put this to heart. Know and decide wisely!

. . . tulad ko! Pagkatapos kong magpasya kung sino ang nararapat iboto, eto suot ko na ang kandidato ko! Aba, dapat pa bang i-memorize yan!
. . . just like me! As soon as I decided who to vote for I immediately wear my candidate's badge! Hey, do you need to memorize that!


Kung tutulog-tulog ka, maiiwan ka sa pansitan! Itaga mo yan sa bato, Lui!
And if you dilly-dally with it you will end up in the curb! Mark my word, Lui!


At para doon sa gustong mag-comment, pakilagay lang sa blog ni Sweepy na siyang nataguriang moderator ng bayan, este, ng bayan ni Juan, este, bahay naming Heaven! Salamat, kabayan!
And for those who wanted to comment, please enter them at Sweepy's blog who was assigned to moderate all the comments in our house Heaven! Thanks, my countrymen!


At para kay Noynoy: Sa iyo ang boto ko kaya wag mo naman kaming pabayaan kapag naupo ka na hane!
And for Noynoy: You get my vote so please don't forget us when you get elected!

Hoy Sumo, Bangon Na!

Hey Sumo, Wake Up!
English by Bogart



Ay sus!
Tinamaan ng magaling!
Oh wow! Hit it hard!



Aba, mataas na ang araw!
Bumangon ka na Sumo!
Hey, the sun is up! Wake up Sumo!



Aba, aba, aba . . . abaniko! Hehe.
Aba, kung ganyan kang tutulog-tulog maghapon, maiiwan ka sa pansitan!
Hey, hey, yo . . . fan! Haha. Hey if you will sleep all day you will be left in the curb!



Ay, mamaMia, tralala, sisboomba! Akala ko nagbakasyon ka somewhere. Yun pala nagtatago ka lang sa bahay mo sa harap ng electric fan! Hoy, sagutin mo raw ang mga eMails mo Sumo!!!
Oh, mamaMia, tralala, sisboomba! I thought you went on vacation somewhere but instead you are just hiding in your house in front of the electric fan! Hey, answer your eMails Sumo!!!


Ang init kaya! O sya, eto ang sagot ko sa mga tanong at eMails:
But it's too hot! Anyway, here's my response to the questions sent by eMail:

1. Kulas, wala akong kulasisi. At hindi ako nagsisisi. Kulas, I have no mistress and I don't regret it.
2. Buster, I do not have time to join any contests now but I forwarded your invitation to my pup Sweepy. Sweepy loves to compete.
3. Trina, I am sorry for not extending my appreciation for your wonderful card. I received it last month and I really liked it. Salamat bigtime! Thank you very much!
4. PetChannel, I am sorry if I can not link to you. I am not allowed to just link to any site. I thank you for featuring my blog and post and for inviting me to be a member. But I am . . . ahem, quite lazy. Maybe my pup Sweepy and Bogart will register soon and sample your goodies.
5. Deidre, I am voting for Noynoy but since I can not vote . . . . Lui is still undecided. Luchie is for Noynoy. Loyd is Gibo.
6. Alice, I am not what you think. I am Alpha dog. I lead the pack. That is, if I am not sleeping.

And for Jonas, Chinggay, Josie, and Toto: salamat mga kapuso at kapamilya! Thank you for your funny stories. And thank you for your wonderful words. Now, if you'll excuse me people . . .



. . . . I am going back to sleep.


Wag nyo muna akong istorbuhin. Tumatanda na po. Antukin na po. Mainit. At masarap matulog.
Don't disturb me for now. I am getting old. I get sleepy. It is hot and I love to sleep.


Tatanda rin kayo!
You'll get old too!

Nag-Goli Ka Na Ba, Sumo?

Have You Taken A Bath Yet, Sumo?
English by Bogart



Aba, oo naman! Ako pa!
Kada linggo kaya ako kung maligo, hoy!
Yes, of course! Hey, I take a bath every week!


At tuwing naliligo ako, kasama pati ang mga ito:
And when I take a bath, these items take a bath too:


Iyan ang mga gamit sa bahay ko. Payak pero malinis lagi ang mga iyan. Isama mo na sa mga iyan ang unan ko, pati punda ng unan, kumot, at tuwalya ko. Naliligo rin sila. Siyempre, tulad ko, dapat laging malinis!
These are the items in my house. Simple but they are always clean. Add to that my pillows, pillowcases, blanket and my towels. They all take a bath too. Of course, they are always clean like me!


Importante na malinis ka kung gusto mong laging may ganito:
It is important to be clean if you always want this:



At siyempre, hindi lang ako ang malinis. Pati mga anak ko, aba, saksakan ng bango ng mga iyan! Pagkatapos ng ligo ng mga damuhong iyan, sa taas ng lamesa ang bagsak ng mga iyan!
And of course, I am not the only one clean. Even my pups smell so clean! After their bath they are deposited on the table!


. . . na kung saan mukha silang pinabiak na bunga ng tinamaan ng kidlat! Haha, joke lang! Aba, siyempre mana sa akin yan! Aba, wala akong anak na hindi pinagkakaguluhan ng mga utaw. Lahi talaga kami ng guwapo at pang-StarStruck, PinoyIdol, at PilipinasGotTalent, PinoyGenio, at lahat na posibleng pang-showbiz!
. . .where they look like twins hit by thunder! Haha, joke only! Hey, they both took after me! I had no pups that were not popular. We are all good-looking and good for StarStruck, PinoyIdol, PilipinasGotTalent, PinoyGenio, and everything that's for show business!



O ikaw naman. Naligo ka na ba?
And what about you, have you taken a bath yet?

Aba, kung hindi, hoy maligo ka naman bago ka pumasyal dito no! Mahiya ka naman hoy! Baka magunaw ang mundo ko sa amoy mo! JuiceKoDay!
If you have not, please take a bath before visiting here! Shame on you! My world might crash with your smell! OhMyJuice!

Hoy Sumo! May Valentine Ka Ba?

Hey Sumo! Do You Have A Valentine?
English by Bogart



Ano?
What?



Anong Valentine? What Valentine?
Aba, biyudo, ahem, biyudog kaya ako!
Hey, I'm a widower, er widogwer!



Siyempre may Valentine ako. Yumao na.
Of course, I had a Valentine but she passed away.



Eh kung kukulitin mo ako buong araw, sige hahanap ako . . .
But if you will pester me all day, I will go look for one . . .



Ahem, iha? Baka hinahanap mo si Valentine, eto ako nasa likod mo lang. Hehe.
Er, little girl? If you're looking for Valentine, here I am behind you. Haha.


Nakup, tigilan na nga ninyo ako at baka makulong pa ako ng nanay nyan!
You better stop pestering or else I will get jailed by the mother of that girl!


Ahahay, valentine . . . .

Hey, Kong Fat Xi Choi!

Fat Choi Hey King Kong!
Kong Fat Choi Hey, Wat Xi Sumo!

Ah, basta, hapinuyir for short, to all my Chinese friends. Salamat sa Tikoy ha. At wag ka na mahiya dagdagan ng mooncake, hopia at ampao.
That's happy new year in chinese. Thanks for sending tikoy (sticky cake) and don't be shy sending me mooncake, hopia (stuffed bread) and ampao (crispy rice snack).


Naku, hindi po year of the Lion.
No, it is not the year of the Lion.



Year of the Tiger sa mga Chinese ngayon. Akala ni Sweepy Tiger yan. Naku, eh unan ni Luchie ng paa niya iyan. Aba, noong niregalo ni Lui kay Luchie iyan noon, medyo mataba pa iyan. Naku, medyo napisa na siguro sa bigat ng paa ni Luchie!
It is the Year of the Tiger for the Chinese people. Sweepy thought that was the Tiger. That is Luchie's foot pillow. When Lui gave Luchie that before it was still plump, but now it looks flat possibly from the heavy feet of Luchie!



Aba, iyan din ang paborito kong unan. Kung saan naaamoy ko ang mga mahal ko siyempre doon ako. Kaya matapos pa-arawan ni Lui iyan sa katapusan amoy ko naman ang maghahari diyan. Sana gusto rin ni Luchie ang amoy ko!
But that is my favorite pillow too. I go wherever I can smell my loved ones. That is why when Lui is done airing this pillow, it my own scent that will take the place of Luchie's scent. I hope Luchie will like my scent too!



At pagmasdan mo lang ang Tiger sa diyaryo na binabasa ng anak kong si Sweepy . . .
And notice the tiger in the newspaper that my pup Sweepy is holding . . .




. . . at pagmasdan mo naman ang totoong tigre na ito:
. . . and compare with this tiger:




Awwwwwwwwooooooooooof!

Teka, makakain na nga . . . ginutom tuloy ako!
Wait, I better eat now . . . 'cause I got hungry!


Btw, I translate myself again. My translator pup Bogart has diarrhea from over-eating!

Hoy, hindi ako Vampire!

Hey, I Am Not A Vampire!
I translate myself . . .



Iyan ang mukha ko kapag inaapi ako.
Iyan ang mukha nang inapi.
Apihin ba naman ako.
Ng sarili ko pang anak!
Iyan ang tinawag sa akin ni Sweepy.
Dyaske talaga ang kumag na iyan.
Sukat ba namang tawagin akong bampira!
Eh, mukha bang bampira ang mukha na iyan, Lui?
That is how I look when somebody is putting me down. Sweepy just called me a vampire in his post. My own pup no less! Do I look like a vampire, Lui?


Lui:
Aba, oo naman! Oh yes!
Minsan nga (sometimes), you really scare me, Sumo!
Remember last last week during the full moon . . . .



I heard you howling all night . . .



You sounded like a beast out to suck blood!
Believe me, Iwas so scared that I did not go out.
I just took a peek from the windows and that's when I saw you!




You sound scary. Naku, yun pala, you were the one scared! Hay naku, if you did not call me from my room, I would have stayed inside the house! Remember, Sumo?



But you're right. You are not a vampire even if you sometimes look like one. For me you are loveable, sweet and extremely gorgeous! You should not take Sweepy's teasing seriously. Sweepy is just having fun, as always!


Hmp, isa ka pa, Lui! Inaapi ninyo ako talaga. Eh ni sa panaginip di ko feel ang human blood kaya. Naku, saksakan ng virus and bacteria kaya ng dugo ng tao! Yikes kaya! Di bale, wait ko na lang ang Valentine baka may makuha akong puso . . . na cake!
Hmp, you're just like him, Lui! You are all putting me down. Never in my wildest dream did I have the urge for human blood which I'm sure is full of virus and bacteria. Yikes indeed! Never mind, I will wait for Valentine in case I get a heart . . .-shaped cake!
