101 Chuchubells

Ok, let me start by defining what Chuchubells is.

Chuchubells.

Chuchubells is everything and nothing. It is a swardspeak used as a substitute for words that you don't know. Like, when you launch in a diatribe about the importance of saving energy and suddenly you find you are at a lost for a word, just say "chuchubells". If you are talking to gay people then they will say , oh yeah. But if your audience is composed of straight uninformed people they will most probably draw a blank thereby buying you time to find the right word.

Chuchubells is a derivative of chorva which came from the word chika. They all mean the same - everything and nothing. An arbitrary word that can take on any meaning and can handily be used whenever you are suffering from verbal constipation and you don't know what to say. Please be advised though to use it sparingly to avoid being conceived as a visayan gay alien. You may use it in every sentence though in the company of moi. (or any other being with an IQ of 170 and above).

Now as to why I named this blog 101 chuchubells? Aside from I want to and I said so, well this will be a list of 101 "wisdoms", "light bulb moments", "realizations" "tips" and other chuchubells that I encounter in my everyday life. They are moments of intelligence that I would like to impart to my readers (mostly me - err I mean just me) They may or may not make any sense to some of you but hey, I am writing the blog so I will write what I want. =)

Now to start the list.

1.) Never read Jessica Zafra before going to sleep. If you are like me who read before sleeping to calm the mind, it is a big mistake to read her before snoozing. The lady is just soooo funny. She is so sarcatically funny, you think the word sarcasm was coined just for her. I am telling you, she will drive you nuts and instead of being calmed you will end up laughing maniacally that your mom will knock on your door asking if you are ok and that you are not having a bad dream. This lady reminds me of Janine Garofalo from that movie with Uma Thurman, The Truth about Cats and Dogs. And I also have a suspicion that, that cartoon character from that MTV show Daria was conceived after the creator saw/read/heard that multimedia triple threat and sleep robbing Jessica Zafra.

Numbers 2 to 101 will follow in the coming days.
