"WHY" List #43

BAKIT maraming pamahiin ang ating mga magulang?

Why do our parents have so many superstitious belief?

Brief Description 

A question in my mind since my parents infused lots of superstitious belief in many aspects of our lives which they can’t even explain the rationale behind it.

My Smart Answer

Para maiwasan ang away, sumunod na lang sa mga pamahiin nila. Wala naman mawawala kung susunod tayo. Hindi naman daw natin ikamamatay kung susunod tayo. 

To avoid conflict with our parents, we just have to follow those beliefs. Anyway, it will bring no harm to us. Besides it will not even cause death among us if we follow such superstitious belief.

BAKIT ba ang kulit mo?

They are persistent and tenacious because they thought that’s the only way to get favorable.

"WHY" List #41

BAKIT ang tigas ng ulo mo?

Why are you so hardheaded?

Brief Description 

With frustration, we usually express this to our dear someone who never listens to our advices/instructions.

My Smart Answer

Kasi likas sa tao ang karakter na may katigasan ang ulo, ayaw makinig sa mga pangaral at sermon. Magbabago lang naman kapag napahamak na kasi sa bandang huli ang pagsisisi.

A simple and easy answer that we can give to those inquisitive kids is because the sea is rich and main source of salt which we use for seasoning of our food.
Being hardheaded is human nature. We don’t like to entertain new ideas or listen to advices which only meant for our own good sake. But we change into good when something bad happened to us. Because in reality, repentance always comes later.

BAKIT malamig ang pasko?

Why is it so cold during Christmas?

Brief Description 

Ang tanong sa mga taong walang jowa or walang lovelife.

The question being asked to those who are single and don’t have lovelife.

My Smart Answer

Hindi porke single ka ay hindi ka pwedeng maging masaya, Gamitin ang iyong pera para sa iyong sarili at sa iyong mga mahal sa buhay. Imbes magmukmok, magsaya kasama ang mga kaibigan at kapamilya.

Being single is not a reason to be unhappy. Use your money for yourself and your loved ones. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, enjoy with your family and friends.

BAKIT dumadami ang kamag-anak ko tuwing magpapasko? 

Why are my relatives increasing during Christmas season?

Brief Description 

Ang tanong ko tuwing pasko dahil tatlo lang naman kami sa pamilya pero biglang dumadami kami sa panahong eto. Ang pasko ay araw ng pagbibigayan, kaya naman tuwing sasapit ang okasyon na eto ay lagi kaming naghahanda.
My question every Christmas since we are only three in the family but suddenly increases during this time. Christmas is the season for giving, that is why every Christmas season we make sure that we prepare gifts and food for our relatives and friends. 

My Smart Answer

Dahil masarap ang luto ng nanay ko! Mas masaya ding mangulo sa bahay ng may bahay! Lagi kong paalala sa Nanay ko pagkatapos ng gulong dulot ng pasko, “mas mabuti na ang nagbibigay kesa sa nanghihingi/nabibigyan!”

Because my mother’s cooking is the best! Besides, it’s why better to cause chaos to other’s house! My constant reminder to my Nanay after cleaning up the mess is “it’s better to give than to receive!”

Brief Description

Brief Description 

Tanung ito ng ating mga anak sa tuwing gigisingin mo sila para pumasuk sa eskuwela.
A question asked by our children every time we wake them up to go to school.

BAKIT bilog ang mata?

Why are our eyes round?

Brief Description 

Just another random quirky question and wondering about life and living facts...  In this case, about a specific body part...  The eyes.

My Smart Answer

Simple lang...  Dahil hindi mo maiiirap o maiikot ang mata mo sa taong kinaiinisan mo kung hindi sila bilog.  Mukhang mahirap iirap ang kwadradong mga mata!

Simply because you won't be able to roll your eyes over someone you find annoying if your eyes were not round.  I think we will find it hard rolling square eyes!

BAKIT ang sungit mo?

Why are you so ill-tempered?

Brief Description 

Common Filipino, question or at times more of a rant towards someone who seems "not in the mood", unapproachable, or irritable.

My Smart Answer

May mga kanya-kanya tayong pinag-dadaanan at minsan, hindi natin maiwasang maapektuhan ng mga hindi masyadong magandang mga bagay o pangyayari sa buhay.  Isa itong magandang paalala sa atin dahil minsan nalilimot natin na may mga mas higit na mahalagang mga bagay o mga tao sa buhay natin kaysa sa ating mga problema.  Kaya ngitian natin ang iba at ang ating mga sarili kaysa sa sumimangot.  

We all have our own struggles and at times, we just can't help but get affected by the not-so-good things or happenings in life.  At times we are caught unaware of our own preoccupations and it serves as a good reminder that there is more to life, bigger and better things and people, than our problems.  So let us smile to ourselves and to others rather than frown.

WHY YOU?!

Brief Description 

Usually not meant as a question but more of an utterance of dismay and resentment common to fighting couples like me and my husband. #lovehate

My Smart Answer

Kasi IKAW... Ikaw noon, ngayon, at kahit ayaw ko pa, malamang ikaw pa rin bukas dahil pinili na natin ang isa't isa sa hirap at ginhawa kahit pa para bang ayaw ko na.

Because it is YOU... It has always been you... My past, my present, and even if I would no longer want it, perhaps you will still be my future because we have already chosen each other to love and to hold even when it seems like I already hate it (really).

BAKIT kulay GREEN ang BLACKboard?

Why are BLACKboards GREEN in color?

Brief Description 

Bilang isang estudyante, lagi kong pinag-tatakhan kung bakit tinawag na BLACKboard ang blackboard samantalang berde o GREEN naman ang kulay nito.
As a student, I have always wondered why and would ask myself why blackboards were called as a BLACKboard when they are in fact GREEN in color.

My Smart Answer

Base sa kasaysayan, ang mga unang pisara o blackboards ay sadyang kulay itim o BLACK.  Nang ginamit ang mga blackboards sa pag-tuturo at pag-aaral, ginawa nila itong berde o GREEN dahil ito ang kulay ng PAG-ASA...  Para tayong mga estudyante ay hindi mawalan ng pag-asang pumasa sa eskwela!!!  

Based on history, blackboards were first made BLACK.  But when blackboards were used in school and for teaching, they then turned it into GREEN because it is the color of HOPE...  So that we students wouldn't loose hope in passing our subjects in school!!!

BAKIT ang bagal ng oras kapag nag-aantay?

Why does time seems to get slow when waiting?

Brief Description 

People who are in the agony of waiting for something or someone, this is the common question in mind.

My Smart Answer

Lahat tayo kinaiinisan ang pag-aantay kaya panay ang tingin natin sa oras at napapansin natin ang bawat segundong lumilipas na hindi naman natin ginagawa sa ordinaryong sitwasyon. Kaya naman nararamdaman natin ang bagal ng pag-aantay at akala natin oras ang bumabagal.

What we hate most is waiting. We tend to be impatient while waiting so we keep on checking our watches and unnoticeably counting every second that passed by. So it appears to us that time is getting slow when in fact, we just feel the agony of waiting.

Brief Description 

Tanong sa sarili kapag naiinis ka na sa kahahanap ng kailangan mo.
Question asked to self when you’re too irritated looking for what you need.

My Smart Answer

Kasi lahat ng bagay kailangan mong pahalagahan. Hindi yung kapag kailangan mo lang, saka mo lang papansinin. Lahat ay ginawa para sa iba’t ibang layunin kaya wag natin ‘tong baliwalain.

Because you need to appreciate the value to everything. Not only just when you need it. Everything has its own purpose, so let us not ignore it.

BAKIT mas maigi ng magbiro sa taong lasing keysa sa bagong gising?

Why is it better to throw jokes or make fun of someone drunk, but never to someone who has just awakened?

Brief Description 

Isa ito sa mga nakakatuwang kasabihan na madalas nating marinig sa mga usap-usapang Pinoy.

This is one of the funny quotes mostly heard in Filipino conversations.

My Smart Answer

Kasi kapag nagbiro ka sa taong lasing, tutulugan ka lang n’ya. Pero kapag biniro mo ang bagong gising eh baka matulog ka nang hindi oras (dahil nasapak ka n’ya sa mukha).

Because when you joke on someone who’s drunk, he would just sleep on you. But when you make fun of someone who just woke up, you might end up sleeping (because you got hit on the face).

Brief Description 

Madalas na pinag-tatakhan ng mga hopeful romantics kung bakit hindi sila gusto ng taong gusto nila.

Hopeful romantics often wonder on the irony as to why the person that they like does not like them back.

My Smart Answer

Kasi nga CRUSH lang ang pinag-uusapan natin. Kung halimbawang crush ka rin ng crush mo, hindi na lang crush iyon... Malamang maging KAYO na at mag-level up na kayo in a relationship status!

Because we are just talking about mere admiration or having a crush here. If your crush also happens to have a crush on you, that, I believe is no longer just a crush. Most likely you two will already be a THING or in a relationship status!

Why too pricey?

Brief Description 

Question usually overheard from market-goers when they are about to buy unlikely high-priced basic commodities in public market.

My Smart Answer

Siyempre kapag mahal ang angkat ng paninda, mahal din ibebenta ng mga nagtitinda kasi malulugi sila kapag binenta ng mura. Wala silang kikitain.

When commodities are purchased in high prices from wholesalers, definitely, vendors will also sell it higher in the market. Vendors will lose their profit if products are sold at lower prices.
