    Graham ... my wife is now fast asleep in bed, or I'd have asked her. So rather than wake her, I decided to surf the net for at least a partial translation. And, from what I've gleaned, the expression would seem to have some sexual connotation. But what it is exactly, mate, I'm none the wiser!

    One big disagreement or totally not allowed,I havent a clue about Bicolano but thats how I figure it



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    As I understand it, the expression literally translated means "One big NO still also" , in other words "The answer remains NO" . At least Arthur, Tawi2 and I have tried to help
