what are the odds

When Bogart told me that 'What are the odds" is one of my most overused statements, I did not initially believe her until my other friends kept repeating the line to me in mocking tone.

In the office, our group always mock each other's gestures and expressions. I was surprised when Martha imitated my way of saying 'what are the odds' with matching enlarged eyes and spirit fingers. ahaha

Then Corleai kept using the line too. In fact she told me before that I have a very contagious spirit in my speech. In college, DLS would easily spot an EconSoc once she hears one of my expressions. Actually some of which aren't really originally from me. I just have good networks to let themp ropagate. haha. Some of them are:

1. Jukas! (for just joking!). Originally jukas manucas!

2. Define <fill in the blank here whatever you want to overemphasize>. Example: Define sleeping pill - referring to our teacher whose lecture can put you in trance. Case 2,  we had a soro shirt with Define Beauty in front and the soro's name at the back. In fact even in one of the anniversaries after I graduated, they used "Define …"  again as theme name. haha.. immortalized na ko sa soro. Define legacy! haha. Case 3, One time, someone from another org in our college asked me why my EconSoc friends always ask for definitions. My response: Define definitions. : )

3. "For more…" or simple "For…" <insert anything you want to emphasize again> factor. Usually used as a reply when people ask why? Example: Why not self-declare no classes. For a change of heart (another overused response). Why wear that? For more star factor. Eventually we use 'for more' uhhm 'for anything'. haha.. Bakit ka late? For more andami mong tanong.For more sarap matulog.  Walang sense di ba pero nagkakaintindihan na kami.

4. Nakakaoffend ka na! - As is. Pero sometimes we use it so loosely to the awe of people thinking may nagawa talaga silang offensive.

5. Nakakapikon - Higher form of nakakaoffend!

6. Masyado kang judgemental! - There was a time na kahit anong negative thing sa ibang tao, judgmental ang tawag namin. But then come to think of it, being judgmental can be the root of all evil so we manage to reason things out. hehe

7. Dizizit! - as in 'this is it!'

8. Party pooper and party poppers. Kahit hindi party at mejo pasaway ka, party pooper ka na! Party poppers naman ang mga game na tao!

9. <Fill in person's name> Syndrome. There's the Beng Syndrome - inuulit lang ang sinasabi ng ibang tao to the point of balimbing. Gabe Syndrome - mga paliguy-ligoy na di sinasagot ang tanong. Tumac syndrome-turned-Casiñas syndrome - nagkakalat ng maling kwento. Mica Syndrome - matigas ang ulo. Rey Syndrome - party pooper at biglang nawawala sa night gimik or antisocial na laging may katext at kausap sa phone. Cesar added: Emcee syndrome - mahilig mag-depressed-depressan, QLC, LSE pero pag nakita mo tawa ng tawa.

10. ADIK! sa mga siraulo! hehe.. feeling ko kasi mas offensive ang siraulo at baliw kaya adik na lang.. hehe.. balak ko ng magpalit ng number sa globe e. 0917-808-ADIK

And now: What are the odds? Even Corleai's boyfriend Aries uses it too. What are the odds of a fratman would say 'what are the odds' in a chick way. Nakakatawa si Ser! haha…

Speaking of what are the odds, what are the odds talaga that Rey ang I would have those not-out-typical-kind-chats. hehe.. Labyu Rey! Miss na namin ang pisikal mong anyo (Pisikal lang kasi lagi naman kita ka-chat at lagi ka naman tumatawag.. hehe).
