how did he use the word? there really is a tagalog word na "karampatan" of which i think the closest english translation is "appropriate".

your translation to appropriate is correct.
i believe he uses karampatan as an adjective. and he uses karapatan as a noun.
i remember, there was no such karampatan word back in '75, because our pilipino teacher marked my answer wrong (according to him. and i was not about to challenge him, then). but language is a subject in evolution. if enough people use it even incorrectly, it eventually becomes correct.

converting a noun into a verb... genericking a brand name.. filipinizing a foreign word.. generally, bastardizing a word..
we filipinos are expert.
pridyider had a headstart.. frigidaire.
"i-simonays natin ang car nyo po." simonize brand car shine paste. in those days, simonize wasn't as easy to use as today's turtlewax. lumalaban ang car biton. ayaw magpa-tanggal! you will grow mr big muscles. so, to "simonize" a car back then was not for the weak of heart (err.. muscle).
"i have a secret... hulaan mo." "sirit!" (share it!)
"sabado bukas. asan ba yung jobos..?" (joe boss. a dye, popularized as a blackener of scuffed shoes when ROTC was in vogue)
in negros, patis gets you toyo. say rufina if you want patis.
ang my uncle, may he rest in peace, kept saying "bolswagen".

OT. i'm not griping. i'm enjoying it.

^ Just don't hang around the lower falls, afaik there are three main levels...pag nasa lowest ka, lahat ng libag galing sa upper levels babagsak dun ^_^

It's been awhile since i've been there. Some idiots bring soap and shampoo

Yes, the singing was neither tagslog nor english. I had to cover my ears several times and my head with blanket just to keep them off.

At about 4am, i stood up and shivering and shaking. My friends woke up too and I asked them kung naririnig nyo ba, hindi daw then they went to the room of one our companions who was a former male model. Ganun din naginginig sya sa bed nya

That is the oedipus siren's call. Mga gwapo lang at gym fit bodies (like the soldiers in the greek mythology) can hear their songs.

heto pa istorya, alam nyo ba ang batlag falls in tanay? located siya up river ng daranak falls.

it was decades ago that we had an overnight stay at the place with the barkada. there goes the warning again that there's a 'charming' white lady roaming around during midnight. don't be lured with her charm or you're dead.
eh maloko 'tong isa kong kasama, sige lang magpakita sya akin at makakatikim sya ng hinahanap nya! wala kami nakita, natakot yata dun sa kasama ko
pity the care taker who kept asking for repent with the alleged charming white lady but the macho guy kept on with his pang-aalaska.

No hindi pa, medyo chubby pa ako nun, yun kasama namin na male model yun ang nag-convince sa kin mag-gym coz all the girls that were with us were only interested in him. That was the time when I felt so much inferiority. Tapos ginawa lang ako driver, na sarili ko pa sasakyan at binayaran ko pa hotel villa namin.

The sierra madre falls are connected to an ancient cave system na pag pumasok ka dun puwede ka lumabas sa grand canyon or sa mt. Everest

Not if we exercise a lot and have a gym fit body to climb all the way up.

Another road accident C5 bagong ilog, traffic is standstill. Nag sanga sanga na yung traffic.

May nawalan nanaman ng preno na truck, tinumbok yung trike.

1 patay!

i wonder...
did they ever test the truck afterward, if it really lost its brakes?
my theory is, they never lost their brakes. they were simply moving too fast for the brakes to handle.
