Armacen

Wednesday, August 24, 2005

Where did you get "armacen"? It sounds very close to the "Pen Pen de Sarapen" ditty we used to chant when we were kids. It goes like this:

Pen Pen de Sarapen
Cuchillo de ARMACEN (or ALMASEN if you come from the Southern Tagalog region)

How How D Carabao
Batuten

Sipit namimilipit
Gintong Pilak
Namumulaklak
Sa tabi ng DAGAT!

There are a couple more verses, but the lines escape me at the moment. I'll post them when I remember.

  • It did come from that song. I also chose it because I wanted to call the blog "almacen" (warehouse in Spanish) but it was already taken. Anyway, I'll invite everyone else tomorrow, or you can do it now if you want.
