When I was in high school, I loved doing skits, and I also loved watching my classmates’ skits. Nothing is as charming, as hilarious, as bangag as a high school skit. Kids with little regard for a coherent or even sensible story invent these skits, but they do it with so much understanding of what their audience will love. I have spent many hours in high school laughing at my classmates crazy, creative, “horrible,” funny skits, and I still remember some of them up until this day.
Janis says “Hi I’m joyful Janis.” Johanna says “Hi I’m joyous Johanna.” Jane says, “Hi I’m jolly Jane.”
My mind swims….jackass…nope, definitely no…jittery…still no…jaguar…PANTS ba ito? Ito pa…jaundice…I did get jaundice when I was born. My mom said I had yellow skin, and they had to put me in an incubator. Ok concentrate.
The teacher looks at me. Expecting. Eyebrows encouraging. Ok fine.
I say, “Hi, I’m jumping Jasmine.” My classmates laugh.
Margaret Dianne Alikpala. Aret for short. Cousin of Thea Alikpala. Obvious ba? Ilan bang tao ang nagkakataon lang na may surname na Alikpala? Anyway…. Mabait naman si Aret, makulit at nakakatuwa. May isa lamang masaklap na katotohanan sa kanyang katauhan at iyon ang kanyang munting kapansanan sa tenga. Sa madaling salita, siya ay…………………………………. BINGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3.) Marilou: “Puwede ba ung answer na ILLEGAL NA DROGA?”
Aret: “Ano? KARAOKE?”

3.) Someone: KJ, ung first name ng scientist John hindi Johannes
KJ: John, Johannes, pareho na un!

5.) Ms. Windsor: I may not be here next year.
Bettina: You’re getting married?
