"PO" YOUR FACE!

Had dinner with Danny last week. He brought his girlfriend Karen and her younger sister. Cute little thing, a little quiet though. On the rare occassions that we got her to talk, we asked her to guess who was older...Dan or myself. Now Dan is 2 years younger than me but whenever I play this game, I usually come up the winner, and it was no different this time.

"Who's older?"

"Danny!" she said with conviction.

Ego-boosted and head-inflated as I was, I fessed up to my real age. Every sentence she then uttered to me after that ended with the word, "Po".

I asked her to stop.

"Sige po." was her reply.

Flash forward to this past Saturday. It was the graduation day at our new football school and my brother had a few of his former teammates show up to coach the kids. One of them turned up to be this girl from UST who I had apparently met before. When all was said and done and my brother and most of his friends piled into the Mercedes, I offered to take her in our other car so she didn't have to squeeze in with the other guys.

"Thank you po." she said.

Now, I look young. I feel young. I sound young. I can fool people into thinking I'm fresh out of college or something. But once they find out my real age, I get a "Po" right away. I know that they're being respectful but I'm not that old, am I?

Please don't answer that.



"Sige po."

"Hehehe..man, you're hot.Hehehe"
You would know, won't you?

isn't that the thing these days?

the law people all call each other "po"
ask jim.

actually it's not just them. several other people my age or older use "po" to whomever they speak
