Jokes about Erap are so classic, they still crack the hell outta me every time. I found these jokes in a place where I least expected to find them. Before I tell you the story.. here are the jokes:
US Doctor: Mr. President, you have a brain tumor.
Erap: hahahahaha
US Doctor: Why are you laughing?
Erap: I’m laughing because in the Philippines I have no brain but here, I have 2 more!
Erap buys a ballpen:
Erap: Miss, do you have a ballpen?
Clerk: Sorry, sir we don’t have any ballpens
Erap (angry): Why did you name your store “Penshoppe”?
(Personally, I don’t think Erap was a dumb person. He was mayor of San Juan for the longest time. His only biggest mistake was becoming President and having the wrong people around him.)
…So back to the real’ story. I was browsing through the web reading people’s blog about what makes them proud to be pinoy(I just drafted my own list), until I bumped into a page with a comment “Proud to be a Filipino » Touched by an Angel »”. Out of curiosity I clicked on the links and was brought to http://angel-luijoe.net/. As i went through the pages, i started to realize that i was reading a tribute page for a kid who died of drowning at the age of 6, Luijoe. The boy reminded me of someone, they have this very strong resemblance.
The woman’s(mother of luijoe) photo caught my attention. She looked so familiar as well, I’ve tried to recall if and where I’ve actually seen her before. It came to me that this woman is Mrs. Noemi Lardizabal-Dado, Mom of Lauren(laurganism). And the boy… Lauren’s brother…
I read Lauren’s blog.. but it’s just lately, I like the way Lauren writes and how she’s so transparent. She speaks her mind freely. I accidentally bumped into her blog just a few days ago because of a hate comment. Since then i’ve placed her link in the “i take time to visit” section, so i can easily access her blog anytime. Something about her just remind me of… I’m not sure what…
No, i don’t really know these people personally… but… now I understand.
May 2000, Maribago Bluewaters Beach Resort in Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines.
I was there. (what a coincidence)
This world is big, yet too small.
To Luijoe. I’m sure you’re wearing a crown in our father’s house.
