Summer Laugh

                                                    
                                      PHOTO FROM PRETTIE on Funny yet slinky black meow (",) ILOCOS NORTE, PHILIPPINES


What is your reaction when you see this picture? Get scared? Goosebumps? or the other way around,  you cackle! I kept giggling and eventually laughing at this picture because I 've got this from my bestfriend's album...sssssh! I've stolen it! The description made me giggle because it says, "our neighbor's cat, arjud naka beads pay..." Yes, it's naarjud! Arjud than us, hehe.   How funny that this black meow could look so slinky with her beaded necklace.   Ehemmm, flirting with someone hah? (",)
          

I was searching some Ilocano "whatever" in the internet until I hit upon on this funny English-Ilocano Dictionary.  I got this from different sites, my apology for not citing the sources.  But I really appreciate the demiurgic minds of those people  who constructed the following words.  I could hardly get over  on this! I kept reading and laughing... I want everyone to experience the "ragsak" and the big bang!  Enjoy the summer laugh! (",)

 I was trying to create words myself but I ended up doing nothing.  Believe me it is not easy to come up with those kinds of words!  It takes time.  Well at this time I ran out of grit. 


Give it a try, make at least one word...(",)
