they said my name over the radio aloud!

Last night I was literally rolling on the floor laughing. While tuned in at Magic 89.9, with Tony and Tetta of the Bottom 2, I heard them saying my name on air. Tetta went like - "Thank you to Loradel Dotado for sending us Tagalog words through e-mail." My whole name sounded bad on air, duh! And I wasn’t expecting to hear it announced more than a couple times.

I was surprised that my e-mail was read because I sent it few months ago, last year. I never imagined it would sound so funny. But Tetta read it who managed to not laugh even if sounded she was amused. And Tony the Amboy who knows not much Tagalog was laughing the whole time, and there were other voices laughing on the background. Guests on the booth I guess.

Why were they laughing? Well, imagine these words being read seriously on air, with that raspy voice of Ms. Tetta, and the ever reluctant to his Tagalog For Dummies lessons  Mr. Tony Toni laughing while she was teaching the words and their meanings:

BAKOKANG

      - higanteng peklat, itoy madalas na dulot ng mga sugat na malaki na hindi ginagamitan ng sebo de macho habang natutuyo. Imbes na normal na balat ang nakatakip sa bakokang, itoy mayroong makintab na balat na takip.

MULMUL

      - buhok sa gitna ng isang nunal. Mahirap ipaliwanag kung bakit nagkakaroon ng MULMUL ang isang nunal subalit hindi talaga eto naaalis kahit bunutin pa ito, maliban na lamang kung ipa laser ito.

BAKTOL

       - ang ikatlong lebel ng mabahong amoy sa kili-kili. Ang baktol ay kapareho ng amoy ng nabubulok na bayabas. Ito’y dumidikit sa damit at humahalo sa pawis, madalas na naamoy tuwing registration sa school, sa elevator o FX at sa LRT na hindi aircon.

Tony seemed to enjoy it rather than be stressed (which is the usual case). And Tetta said I should do it more often. Huh? Why not? Her parting words for that portion - "Loradel, you rock!" Haha (:

And because I made them laugh I got to win tickets for Dreamgirls (: Yeay! I’m really looking forward to see this movie. Thanks Tony and Tetta for always making me laugh (: And to you people, try to listen to Magic 89.9 at 9 - 12 at night during Mondays to Thursdays or log on to www.magic899.fm. Trust me, you’d love it!

Til next time!
