It’s been a while since I last updated this blog -- but what better way to make a comeback than with something we Warays are naturally good at: hugot lines. (Haha.)
"Hugot" is a Filipino slang word that literally means “to pull,” but in the world of social media and pop culture, it refers to deep, emotional one-liners usually about love, heartbreak, and life’s ironies. While hugot lines are popular in Tagalog, the Waray language has its own unique brand of humor and drama when it comes to matters of the heart.
Today, I am sharing a fresh collection of Waray hugot lines -- some funny, some painful, and some beautifully bittersweet. Because whether we admit it or not, each of us has had that one person who left us with a line we will never forget.
1. Bisan an kendi ginpapalit. Ako ngani, pirme la libre.
2. Gin-una ko ikaw ha tanan, pero ha imo listahan, waray an akon ngaran.
3. Siring nira, may rason kun kay ano nga an duha nga tawo nagkakakilala. Pero kay ano nga an aton istorya, waray nagpadayon?
4. An imo 'kumusta' amo an akon adlaw.
5. Gin-ataman ko an imo mga samad bisan kun ako an nasasakitan.
6. Diri ako baso nga basta la ginbabayaan sa lamisa. Tawo ak. Nasusul-an.
7. Damo an puyde, pero ikaw an akon karuyag.
8. Malabay an mga panahon, pero an imo ngaran, magpapabilin ha akon.
9. Kanugon han mga pulong nga waray nasiring. Kanugon liwat han mga panahon nga nag-agi.
10. Siring nira, kun para ha imo, mabalik. Pero may mga butang nga para na unta ha imo, ginpasagdan mo la.
Kamo na an bahala magsumpay! :-)
