The other night, Ponggo & I were working on a project. I was telling him to use another software but he won’t budge. Then, he was asking me for instructions from time to time. Years ago, one of my bosses told me that the best way to teach someone is by helping them discover stuff […]
One of the gifts that I appreciated the most while I was growing up was this thick dictionary. Lol. (Geek! Sorry, you can’t UNgeek a geek). If you’ve been reading the blog for a long time, you would know by now that I’m not much of a writer and I don’t have a huge vocabulary.
There was a time when we were preparing for a wedding and I kept on suggesting Chartreuse and Fuchsia as the colors of our motif and Ponggo said, “Char-char-char-what? Can’t you just say yellow green? And that other color’s a bit hard to spell too!” I really really love colors (..and I’m really really
Le sigh for clingy people. The worst message I ever got was when I was on a minimoon (i.e. honeymoon jr.) and one of my wedding visitors texted me and because I wasn’t responding to her Facebook message. She tried calling me and she also contacted my other friends asking for a decent explanation why
It’s the love month so please allow us to abuse the topic of L-O-V-E. Here are some pre-relationship woes. While it’s fun to look back at them, these things can be a pain in the head (and heart!) while these were happening (enter dramatic music): When Someone’s Too Dense – While others can be
It’s Valentine’s day! Well, at least in this side of the world 🙂 As much as 1/2 of me (or more accurately, 48.3452%) would like to make your eyes bleed red, pink & hearts, hearts, hearts today, we interviewed some our homies from the blog-o-sphere (Forgive me. I just really wanted to use the word
Our first ever fight back when we were still dating (umm…more than 10 years ago) was pretty much about this. When I said yes he thought I was really saying yes but he didn’t know that I was secretly hurting slash dying inside. Apparently, for certain people yes is yes and no is no. For
Try reading the title again when you’re done reading the comics! 🙂 This is how I am each time I’m talking to someone on the phone & (a) I’m at a dead spot or (b) when the lovely lovely (*sarcastic*) cellphone network is acting up. I would start the conversation with a good mood then
I’m a bad cook. I really am. I mostly microwave stuff. Ponggo refuses to use the microwave. He loves his food cooked just the real way. He doesn’t care if it takes his beef curry 5 hours to cook or how much of a hassle it is to reheat his siopao by steaming it. On
It’s a new year (Happy New Year!) and as much as people want things to change, some things will always stay the same. Take for example Ponggo’s habit of deglamourizing stuff as in the cartoon above. When we were starting out with the Googly Gooeys, I wanted the cartoon to be all about pictures with
Gift-giving is probably not the most exciting part of our relationship. After so many years of trying, Ponggo has finally given up on me. I have way too many comments about all the presents he has given me. One year, he tries to guess the clothes I might like. Last Christmas, he bought me stuff that
Ever shopped for Christmas stuff with a back-up plan? Did you ever go, “Hmm…I’ll buy this notebook for my sister but if she doesn’t like it, I’ll have it! It must not go to waste”. Ponggo always sneakily buys stuff for his dad hoping that (a) they can share it or (b) if he doesn’t
Here’s another classic Tipsy & Ponggo conversation. I don’t know why I haven’t posted about this too! Ponggo always gets annoyed as to why I always ask him for advice & suggestions when I just always end up not following him or worse, refuting him or arguing with him about it. Haha. He hates it
I can’t believe I still haven’t posted a comic about this (until I stumbled upon it in my handy dandy notebook)! Here’s a classic Tipsy & Ponggo conversation that usually has that overused line “I’m not angry!” 😉 I always end up misinterpreting Ponggo especially when he’s concentrating and hard at work (with those
Questions and Answers: I wonder if other couples also spend time doing nothing but trying to beat & outwit their partners for fun. Ha! 😉 More comics about Tipsy & Ponggo here: Signs That You’re in Love Reading Too Much Into Things & Dissecting Phrases Who’s Calling You? Keeping Secrets The Value of Honesty in
If you’ve been a reader of this site since late last year, you would probably know that Tipsy & Ponggo are married. To avoid all confusion, let’s just pretend that we’re back both back in high school / college and these are the probable scenarios. Because webcomics are so limited, here are some notes about
Different Responses to Flowers for You! Flowers for you! While I was doing the first frame for this post, the idea for this entry just popped up out of nowhere & I had to type it down somewhere very quickly! The last time I heard Ponggo use the line “Flowers for you” was more than
Are you reading too much into things? Reading too much into things & reading between the lines are two different things and are often interchanged. It’s just funny that when certain phrases are thrown at us, we sometimes react very quickly (or not so pleasantly) depending on the issues we may have 😉 Do you
The value of honesty in a relationship has been stressed so many times by older people and a number of magazine articles and talk shows. Then again, there’s a very fine line between being honest and being brutally frank. The other night, I told him that he was
Optimist versus Pessimist: This is one of the usual conversations that Ponggo & I have. I accuse him of being negative and he accuses me of being too happy sappy. He claims he’s a realist while in my defense, I tell him that I just want to see the best side of all things. It’s
