Unlock the Words!
• My first acquaintance with groggy GIs began one late
afternoon.
• My hempen trousers were rolled up to my knees. My bolo
was at my side.
• A warm miasmic smell rose from the mire. When the first
American troops invaded the Philippines in 1898, carabaos
used to chase the Yankee soldiers off the fields.
• It goes straight up to the sky like a skyscraper. It symbolizes
the States.
• I quaffed my drink down and followed it with a slice of
kalamansi dipped in unrefined salt.
• He wanted to know why I had bombed Pearl Harbor and
committed so many atrocities when Americans had never
done them any harm.
• He said he was privy to all the war atrocities that I had
perpetrated, but he was a personal friend of General
Douglas MacArthur, I need not worry.
• With great effort he got up on his feet and wobbled
toward Mother.
• The rubescent sun was fast sinking against a roseate
sky.

• So I filled a coconut shell with oil, dipped a timsin wick
in the fluid, then lighted the wick. It produced a
wavering, dull yellow light.
• If you imbibe enough of it, your senses amalgamate
and you get to hear three-dimensional rondalla music in
color.
• On my way here in a transport I got soused on torpedo
juice.
• Our wassail was over. It just goes to show you that one
man's drink is another man's poison.
• Joe narrowly escaped being shot for a straggler. He
staggered from side to side then his legs turned to
noodles and he collapsed on the ground -- flat as a
starfish.
• I knew that the soldiers had to be back in their garrison
at a given hour. And since Joe had been a compotator, I
felt it my obligation to take him back to camp.
