HALO-HALO - MIXED/MISCELLANEOUS

(Tagalog & English Quotes Collection)

By: Bob Ong

"Wag magmadali sa pag-aasawa. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon sa hinaharap, mag-iiba pa ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong di pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang sa kaboses niya si Debbie Gibson o magaling mag-breakdance. Totoong mas importante ang kalooban ng tao higit anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan sa eskwelahan e nagmumukha ring pandesal. Maniwala ka."
Don't rush yourself into marriage. Three, five, ten years from now, your standards will change and you will soon realize that it's wrong to choose a partner only because she sings like Debbie Gibson or he is great at breakdancing. The truth is, what's inside a person is more important. Years will pass, even the heartthrobs in your school will eventually look like (pandesal). Believe me."



"ayokong nasasanay sa mga bagay na pwede namang wala sa buhay ko."
I don't want to get used to things that you can live without.


"hinahanap mo nga ba ako o ang kawalan ko?"
Are you really looking for me or are you looking for what I don't have?



"hindi dahil sa hindi mo naiintindihan ang isang bagay ay kasinungalingan na ito. at hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan. "
It isn't because you don't understand a certain thing that makes it a lie. And not everything you understand are truths.


"Sabi nila, sa kahit ano raw problema, isang tao lang ang makakatulong sa'yo – ang sarili mo. Tama sila. Isinuplong ako ng sarili ko. Kaya siguro namigay ng konsyensya ang Diyos, alam niyang hindi sa lahat ng oras e gumagana ang utak ng tao."
They say that whatever kind of problem, there is only one person who can help you - yourself. They're right. I testified against myself. Maybe when God gave us conscience, he knew people's brains are not working all the time.



Obligasyon kong maglayag, karapatan kong pumunta sa kung saan ko gusto, responsibilidad ko ang buhay ko."
It is my obligation to travel, my right to go places where I wanna go, my life is my responsibility.



"Masama akong tao, tulad mo, sa parehong paraan na mabuti kang tao, tulad ko."
I'm a bad person, like you, in the same way that you're a good person, like me.



"Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala."
It is better to fail at doing something than achieve in doing nothing.



"iba ang walang ginagawa sa gumagawa ng wala."
Doing nothing is different from nothing being done. (wha? this is difficult to translate...)


"iba ang informal gramar sa mali!"
Informal grammar is different from wrong grammar (this one courtesy of wackyista)


"Para san ba ang cellphone na may camera? Kung kailangan sa buhay un, dapat matagal na kong patay."
For what purpose is a cellphone with a camera? If that is really needed in life, I probably have been dead a long time ago.
