C is for Chochal

Posted April 28, 2008

One year ago, may bagong word dito sa column na “alien” sa mata ng mga mambabasa.

Chochal.

Ang jologs. Parang chichacorn. O di kaya chichay.

Actually, matagal nang kumakalat-kalat ang word na ito sa forum ng TristanCafe. Pero sa mga hindi pa familiar sa word na ito, alin lang sa mga sumusunod ang magiging reaction mo…

a. Duh?!
b. Huwat?
c. Ewwww!
d. What.Everrrr…

Eh ano nga ba ang ibig sabihin ng chochal at ano naman ang significance nito sa bansang Pilipinas at sa buong mundo, kung meron man?

Chochal means jologs na sosyal. Kinuha ito sa salitang “sosyal”, pinalitan lang ng ibang letters para magmukhang jologs. It means being sosyal on your own right, based on your own capacity and financial ability. Sa magandang salita, being chochal means having a budgeted lifestyle. Sa jologs na salita, it means having a fab lifestyle kahit na poorika ka.

When this column was launched, it received mixed reactions. May natuwa, may naaliw. May nagtaas ng kilay, may kumondena. Yung iba dedma. Yung iba wapakels.

May nagcomment na bakit daw hindi English ang column. Well, pwede naman, why not? Pwede pa kong mag-Spanish, Chinese, Bisaya, Kapampangan, sign language, etc. But it will just defeat the purpose, devah? Mawawala ang image na gustong tumbukin ng pagiging chochal.

Syempre may mga negative comments din na naglabasan. Oh well, you cannot please everybody. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion. Pag sinabi kong maganda ako, walang basagan ng trip dahil opinyon ko yun.

Pero ang nakakataba ng puso, eh yung may mga natuwa at nag-recognize sa “budgeted lifestyle” na prino-promote ng pagiging chochal. May mga sumunod sa mga tips. Yung iba, ina-apply nila sa kanilang pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay.

And why not, chocobutternut?!

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan maglakwatsa sa halagang 100 pesosesosesoses. Nakatipid ka na, enjoy ka pa!

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan maging glamorous and fabulous kahit galing ukay-ukay ang get-up mo.

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan na hindi dyaheng lumafang ng street foods kasi may different way pala na kainin yun na hindi ka magmumukhang balahura.

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan ang iba’t ibang klaseng do’s and dont’s na hindi mo akalaing nage-exist pala.

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan pataasin to the highest level ang iyong self-confidence.

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan ang linyang “sometimes, the copycat is better than the original”.

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan magkaroon ng kakaibang lifestyle.

Sa pagiging chochal mo natutunan na mahalin lalo ang sarili mo.

O ayan, siguro naman naliwanagan na ang nagdidilim mong paningin kung ano ba ang ibig sabihin ng chochal. Kung hindi pa rin, magpatingin sa isang neurologist or psychiatrist. O di kaya sa karpintero. Baka nalagasan ka na ng isang turnilyo.

Kung may naging magandang impact sa yo ang pagiging chochal, congratulations and spread the good news. Kung wala, better luck next time. Bwehehe!

That’s all for now. Till next issue!

 
Always remember:

Be Bold. Be Proud. Be Chochal.
