12 Classic Pinoy Hugot and Pick-up lines that are so corny

Ah, love. You win some, you lose some. It's a neverending quest to find that person to spend your lifetime with. 

What is Hugot? It's a Filipino word that means pull out or drawn out. But recently, Hugot became a catchphrase for something that is deeply emotional especially love. It can be triggered by a song, a word, an action or a movie. 




Hugot lines have been in vogue even decades ago. It's just that people didn't know how to collectively say it.



Pick-up lines are akin to Hugot lines. It's a conversation starter that has a twist of humor in it. It's normally used when you want to get the attention of your crush or someone that you find attractive.

While going through my photos, I remembered some hugot and pick-up lines. I also thought of some new ones as well. They're so corny that they may actually work. 

My apologies if there are a lot of food references. I was hungry when I was doing this blog post.

Words are powerful tools to express oneself. Words are the lifeblood of language. 

1. Our favorite sticky rice just became a pick-up line.

Biko, my love so sweet.

2. How Spicy can you get?

3. Just wanna be your teddy bear

Soft and cuddly teddy bear

4. Me and my shadow

Bitter much?

10. An old-fashioned #Hugot line.



11. It's the season of giving, it's the season for collecting these.

Which one is better? The mermaid or the bean?

And last but not the least, the most cheesiest of them all --- 

The cheesier, the better

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2.

But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives ...

C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma...
