The BER months and more

This BER months, we really should be careful and beware of robBERS.  This is their season of hunting for preys who are vulnerable to them.

I can't even remember when was the last time I ate shawarma, which used to be my staple food in Dubai.  I was surprised to see that here, those food servers are sweating their armpits out to slice the shawarma into very small pieces.  As in I wanted to say, maybe you should just put them in the grinder to make it easier for you.  I mean, you won't even see the slices anymore.  They already look like ground meat when they put it in the bread.

I'm giving that quiz show last Saturday a two-thumbs up mark.  I really think that we should have more of this kind of show and that they should only be shown on Saturdays, when school is off.  This is the kind that will motivate and inspire children to want to learn what the kids in the show know.  I really believe in learning by example.

In the news, this veteran news anchor asked his field reporter if there is a possibility of suicide bomber attacks here in our country during these times.  Mr. News Anchor, you are supposed to be more knowledgeable about the culture of suicide bombers compared to ours.  Filipinos are happy people.

So, that's the catch with Flickr.  I got a notice the other day that I have already uploaded 170 images in my account, and that once I hit 200, I'll need to upgrade to PRO, or else, I'll only be able to see my most recent 200 photos.  Oh well, I'll just get on with Bloggers' Picasso for my individual images and back to My Multiply for my photo albums.

After seeing the commercial, I just had this idea that this show "I Dare You" is simply a re-make or a revival of Paolo Bidiones' and Ethel Galang's "Extra Challenge."

The BER Months

I was on my Feedly Reader a few minutes ago and read about this bus wherein its passengers were robbed of their belongings. It was just a headline and I didn't want to read more about it. Who wants to know more about these things when we already have had enough of the events that happened since August 23.

After reading the headlines. I thought, 'the BER months… expect more of this kind of news.'

I wanted to think of something that would rhyme with BER, to give a push to this month and write about it here on my blog. The only word I can think of is Robber. And then I thought of the Arabs and Indian Muslims. If we are Arabs or Indians, we won't have the letter P in our alphabets. They call their dads Baba for Papa, although I think has nothing to do with the translations. But they call Pepsi, Bebsi and pizza, bizza. So… aside from the word robber, I now have…

Holdubber.

Kidnabber.

I know you'd believe me when I say that these BER months would indeed be the months of the word I just thought and the words that I have coined.

Let us all be vigilant within the coming months. I don't want to spoil your festive mood at this first day of the BER months, but this is the other side, the other reality of what all these months hold.
