There are certain words in the Filipino vocabulary that you don't get to hear everyday. We at D' Frendz call it "makalumang salita."
Today in school, I encountered one such word from Ate Fanny. While I was getting something from the top shelf, she stood beside me to help. Then, she put her arm beside mine and said:
"Suwerte niyo sir. Biniyayaan kayo ng maputi at makinis na balat."
Of course, the only thing that registered was:
"Biniyayaan!"
Yes, that's a "makalumang salita" I haven't heard in a long, long time.
