    its a swear phrase in phils can meant/used to diffrent ways.

    puta = whore
    ina/ng= mother
    life = buhay

    My husband know that word, and everytime i say it he will just giggle

    He told me he prefer me swearing in tagalog rather than in English

    Asked her why did she said that
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    It is a swear word. There are many reasons why this is being said like:
    1) She is mad on something like if she hates seeing something she doesn't like or happening
    2) She hates if she lost something
    3) She got irritated she can't find something very impt to her
    3) She hates it she found out the food she cooked was burned
    4) She hates it if she was mistaken for something
    5) She got disappointed on something
    etc. etc./

    If it is being said in a low tone of voice then she is just pissed off but if the tone of voice is shouting then it means different.
    You said your wife addressed it to you?
    " The people who mean something to your life are not rated "the best" don't have the most money, haven't won the greatest prizes....
    They are the ones who care about you, take care of you, those who, no matter what, stay close by... "
