Mastering the Art of Pick-up Lines
May 16, 2008
Although Alibata is part of the Filipino heritage, the modern day Juan is not familiar with these characters nor can he translate them. When I had these characters inked on my left hand (whose meaning I would never tell), it opened the doors to the mastery of various pick-up lines. Here are a few things I told people who were curious to know what the white Alibata characters meant.
My MOM, who gets agitated each time I get inked: "Rebecca" (My mom’s name is Rebecca)
Atty Lazo, AUSL’s Dean of Admissions: "Law School Vixen"
Khalid Gunting: "Wish you were Christian." (He’s Muslim.)
John: "Wish you were single. Wish I were too." (He’s married with kids.)
Starbucks barrista: "The best mistake you’ll ever make." (She didn’t get it.)
please?
