Thank you…and please come again! (LP 86)
Dec 30th
Upang ipaalam ang ating pasasalamat, maraming paraan ang ating ginagawa. We shake people’s hands. We send gifts. We say ‘thank you’ . May naiiyak pa nga habang nagpapasalamat kasi sobrang saya nya, di ba? May mga restaurants na namimigay ng mga trinkets sa kanilang mga clients. May malalaking kumpanya na nagbibigay ng bonus sa kanilang mga manggagawa. May mga tindahan naman na namimigay ng goodies sa kanilang mga suki. Kagaya ng litrato (recycled) sa itaas. Isang grocery na malapit sa amin at laging tinatakbuhan ko para sa supplies , ganyan ang ibinibigay taon-taon!
Pero hmmm, kung iisipin ko hindi naman talagang 100% na pasasalamat eh, kundi marketing strategy pa rin. Kasi kailangang mag-ipon ka ng 50 stickers (worth €10 of gorcery, you get a sticker) para maka-avail ka ng ‘free box’ . So 50 x €10=? LIBRE NGA BA? PASASALAMAT NGA BA?
Hay naku, basta ako, NAGPAPASALAMAT SA INYONG WALANG SAWANG PAGDALAW SA AKING ABANG BLOG. NAGPAPASALAMAT DIN AKO NG DAHIL SA LITRATONG PINOY KAHIT PAANO AY NAKAKILALA AKO NG MABABAIT NA TAO.
MANIGONG BAGONG TAON SA INYONG LAHAT!!!
Those beautiful thatched english cottages!
Oct 28th
One of the places I (together with my 2 girlfriends) have visited in England was Bath , a lovely English City full of beautiful historical monuments. While we were there, we also joined a 2 days-trip that brought us to cities nearby. One of the many wonderful things I’ve seen (aside from the Stonehenge, that entry) were small and big cottages with beautifully thatched roofs. My first time to see such and I found them pretty and interesting. Thatching simply gives houses that rustic look that’s hard not to admire. Our tour guide even said that a small roof could cost an easy 20,000 British pounds, that is why it is also a status statement among the English. I asked our tour-guide if his roof is thatched, he said no, he wanted to but couldn’t afford it.
How I wish I own this lovely lovely cottage!
I found this wikipedia thatching article:
Thatching is the craft of covering a roof with vegetation such as straw, water reed, sedge, rushes and heather. It is probably the oldest roofing material and has been used in both tropical and temperate climates. Thatch is still employed by builders in developing countries, usually with low-cost, local vegetation. By contrast in some developed countries it is now the choice of well-to-do people who want their home to have a rustic look. The word Thatch is also the name of an imaginary chacter from the Lifeteen retreat. He is a vegertarian and enjoys salad from applebees. Where Thatch came from is a mystery, but it is thought that he was born on march 24 the year is unknown. The full name is Thatcher Robert Latch, and he often sits on the toliet eating a salad while he cries because he is so very moved by praise and worship. To learn more, go to www.lifeteen.com or go on a St. Vincent retreat.
