Bagong SOP, tuluyan na nga bang naging ASAP copycat?
ASAP XV - February 7 2010 (old and current set)
SOP - February 7 2010 (new set)
SOP (ugly old set)
ang SOP (reformatted) gustong lumevel sa ASAP XV kaya with its new set na dim na rin ang light and may new voice over - lalaki na rin, alam mo na kung ano ang pinag gayahan!
from SHOWTIME to DIZ IZ IT
then ASAP XV to SOP
what's next this 2010 mga kapuso?
sigurado akong aatakihin na naman ng migraine si Regine pagbalik niya from Qatar

linggo linggo atang busog sa putik ang mga futang unknown na yan!!
linggo linggo kasi pinapalamon ng burak, putik, alikabok at ta3 yang SOPw3t na yan!!!
wish ko, sana di muna tsugihin para may katatawanan forever, mabuhay!!!!!!!!!!
oha!! oha!!
pader talaga yung ASAP nung Feb 7!
si Wilma daw, 5 oras nakabuka yung bunganga nung araw na yun...hindi maisara dahil sa pinaghalong mangha, inis, poot, inggit.
^sorry to say pero kahit level na nga lang ng "copycat" di pa nila magawa. ganun sila kalala.
wala namang ginawa ang SOPwee kundi sundan ang ASAP....
kung may bago ang ASAP, paniguradong sa susunod na linggo, may ganyan din sa SOPwee....
kaya bakit ka pa manunuod ng SOPwee....
kung parang replay lang ng ASAP ang napapanuod mo....
ang masaklap, basurang replay nga lang.....
hahhaahahahahhahahhahaahhahahahahahhhhhaahahahahahhahahahahahahah
nauubusan na ng creative ideas ang SOPwee...
kaya wala silang choice kung hindi gayahin nalang ang ASAP....
nanggagaya na nga sila sablay na sablay pa.....
ewan ko ba dyan kay Ignacio...
sya lang ang bakla sa mundo na walang creativity....
hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahhahahhahaahhahahahahahahhaahahahahahha
apektado?sobra naman atang galing neo ..payo lang ha gawa kayo sariling show para hindi kayo nakiki asap haha
copycat na wala man lang sa kalingkingan ng ASAP XV!
itapon mo lang ang ASAP sa basurahan...
SOP na ang kalalabasan...
hahahhahahahhahahhahaahahhahahahhahahahhahhahahahahhahaaahahahah
Funny Pinoy Names
A Rhose, by Any Other Name
By Matthew Sutherland
“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches” –(Proverbs 22:1)
WHEN I arrived in the Philippines from the UK six years ago, one of the first cultural differences to strike me was names. The subject has provided a continuing source of amazement and amusement ever since.
The first unusual thing, from an English perspective, is that everyone here has a nickname. In the staid and boring United Kingdom, we have nicknames in kindergarten, but when we move into adulthood we tend, I am glad to say, to lose them.
The second thing that struck me is that Philippine names for both girls and boys tend to be what we in the UK would regard as overbearingly cutesyfor anyone over about five. “Fifty-five-year-olds with names that sound like five-year-olds”, as one colleague put it. Where I come from, a boy with a nickname like Boy Blue or Honey Boy would be beaten to death at school by pre-adolescent bullies, and never make it to adulthood. So, probably, would girls with names like Babes, Lovely, Precious, Peachy or Apples. Yuk, ech ech. Here, however, no one bats an eyelid.
Then I noticed how many people have what I have come to call “door-bell names”. These are nicknames that sound like – well, door-bells. There are millions of them. Bing, Bong, Ding, and Dong are some of the more common. They can be, and frequently are, used in even more door-bell-like combinations such as Bing-Bong, Ding-Dong, Ting-Ting, and so on. Even our newly-appointed chief of police has a doorbell name – Ping. None of these door-bell names exist where I come from, and hence sound unusually amusing to my untutored foreign ear. Someone once told me that one of the Bings, when asked why he was called Bing, replied “because my brother is called Bong”. Faultless logic. Dong, of course, is a particularly funny one for me, as where I come from “dong” is a slang word for… well, perhaps “talong” is the best Tagalog equivalent.
Repeating names was another novelty to me, having never before encountered people with names like Len-Len, Let-Let,Mai-Mai, or Ning-Ning. The secretary I inherited on my arrival had an unusual one: Leck-Leck. Such names are then frequently further refined by using the “squared” symbol, as in Len2 or Mai2. This had me very confused for a while.
Then there is the trend for parents to stick to a theme when naming their children. This can be as simple as making them all begin with the same letter, as in Jun, Jimmy, Janice, and Joy. More imaginative parents shoot for more sophisticated forms of assonance or rhyme, as in Biboy,Boboy, Buboy, Baboy (notice the names get worse the more kids there are — best to be born early or you could end up being a Baboy).
Even better, parents can create whole families of, say, desserts (Apple Pie, Cherry Pie, Honey Pie) or flowers (Rose, Daffodil, Tulip). The main advantage of such combinations is that they look great painted across your trunk if you’re a cab driver.
That’s another thing I’d never seen before coming to Manila – taxis with the driver’s kids’ names on the trunk.
Another whole eye-opening field for the foreign visitor is the phenomenon of the “composite” name. This includes names like Jejomar (for Jesus, Joseph and Mary), and the remarkable Luzviminda (for Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, believe it or not). That’s a bit like me being called something like “Engscowani” (for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland).
Between you and me, I’m glad I’m not.
And how could I forget to mention the fabulous concept of the randomly-inserted letter ‘h’. Quite what this device is supposed to achieve, I have not yet figured out, but I think it is designed to give a touch of class to an otherwise only averagely weird name. It results in creations like Jhun, Lhenn, Ghemma, and Jhimmy. Or how about Jhun-Jhun (Jhun2)?
There is also a whole separate field of name games — those where the parents have exhibited a creative sense of humor on purpose. I once had my house in London painted by a Czechoslovakian decorator by the name of Peter Peter. I could never figure out if his parents had a fantastic sense of humor or no imagination at all — it had to be one or the other. But here in the Philippines, wonderful imagination and humor is often applied to the naming process, particularly, it seems, in the Chinese community. My favourites include Bach Johann Sebastian; Edgar Allan Pe; Jonathan Livingston Sy; Magic Chiongson, Chica Go, and my girlfriend’s very own sister, Van Go. I am assured these are real people, although I’ve only met two of them. I hope they don’t mind being mentioned here.
How boring to come from a country like the UK full of people with names like John Smith. How wonderful to come from a country where imagination and exoticism rule the world of names. Even the towns here have weird names; my favorite is the unbelieveably-named town of Sexmoan (ironically close to Olongapo and Angeles).
Where else in the world could that really be true? Where else in the world could the head of the Church really be called Cardinal Sin? Where else in the world could Angel, Gigi and Mandy be grown-up men? Where else could you go through adultlife unembarrassed and unassailed with a name like Mosquito, or Pepper, or Honey Boy?
Where else but the Philippines!
