Hello Milet,
Do you need a wheelchair now? I thought I read in one post that you could go for vacation with your family right?
So chop chop is not a nice word. It doesn’t conjure up any nice meals like chicken chop or lamb chop.
Take care.

Hi Milet,
Very good mutterings. I learn so much about the language habits of the Philippines from reading the mutterings.
You asked about counter::culture on my blog. That’s where a group in a culture (usually young people) adopts a culture that’s opposite of the established culture. Usually it comes from teenage rebellion. Do you know goth or punk? Those are countercultures.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Ok, that was enlightening. I mean the chop chop. Over here in Singapore, it sort of means “hurry up”, “fast” or somewhere along that line. Funny how different countries have different meanings huh?
Anyway, those are some great mutterings you there!
