Filipinism (only in the Phils)

"Nahilig" sa past "tensed:"

Anlakas talaga ng arrived niya sa akin.
Na-knocked out'd ni Pacquiao si Hatton.
Kailangan pa bang i-memorized 'yan?
Why used gas? Used water!

Back in the late 90's, I used to park my car in the Enterprise Center basement parking.
One day as I entered the parking area, I saw a newly posted sign that read, "No parking in reserve slots. If you parked in a reserve slot, your tire will be clamp and you will be fine."

A week later, the sign was taken down and replaced with a new one that had a correctly written notification.

Bad trip! I didn't have any cameras with me. Cellcams were not yet invented back then. I would have taken a picture of that.

Nope. I think the manananggal is regional.
There is a similar creature in Malaysian folklore called the Penanggalan.

RE: Mangkukulam kay GMA
