i don't exactly know what's the story behind "lutong macau", which connotes negativity and means "done deal" in favor of a party or something that was already planned way ahead and is bound to happen no matter what. so when i went to macau with mark, i was on a hunting trip for explanations behind such expression. of course, this has something to do with food. so we went around criss-crossing and narrow european ruas (portuguese for road) to have a quick sampling of macanese food. indeed, they have a lot of eatables that are prepared even before you order like dumplings, dried meat, egg tarts, peanut candies and some sweets. this is because almost all stores offer anyone to have a free taste of their specialties, turning simple walking into a fiesta for someone who's looking for free grub! however, i think lutong macau is just one of pinoy overstatements because there were a lot of products that were being prepared while you wait, like the egg rolls and almond cakes. ang pinoy talaga!
bagosumalang si ombudsman conchita carpio morales sa senado, kumbinsido akong di mako-convict si renato corona. ang tingin ko, di siya maaalis sa puwesto dahil di maaabot ang kaukulang 16 na boto para tuluyan siyang mapatalsik. tiyak na rin akong ia-acquit siya ng mga senador na sina miriam santiago, joker arroyo at bongbong marcos. kahapon, abut-abot pa rin ang kaba ko. baka kako magkatotoo ang aking unang pakiramdam na wala ring kahihinatnan ang limang buwang paglilitis. ngunit, salamat naman at taliwas sa naunang hinuha ang kinalabasan. napatalsik si corona bilang punong mahistrado sa botong 20-3. kanya-kanyang pasikat ang mga senador. pagkakataon na nga naman nilang magpa-star sa publiko dahil nakatutok ang halos lahat ng pilipino sa mga oras na 'yun. siyempre pa, pinakawalan na naman ni miriam ang maruruming mga salita at idineklara na naman niya ang kanyang "katalinuhang higit kaninuman".
