| Hello Tabolucionaries, Just want to invite you all to our new multiply website http://pikpakbum.multiply.com. It's a collection of strange, funny, odd, and all-around interesting links from the Philippines and beyond. Topics range from Kris Aquino's latest faux pas to the bombastic cover of the first issue of Maxim Philippines. There's a little something for everyone who has a sense of humor. It's been online a little over two weeks and we've had a marvelous response. Feel free to make it your second home on multiply. http://pikpakbum.multiply.comCheers, Karlo |
| Many happy returns of the day to one of the first people to join myself and Millie on the great journey that is tabo. |
| Tabolucionaries!
A friend of mine works for a small school mag in Singapore and they're doing a Philippine issue. She ran across our tabo project and thinks it's a fabulous idea for a photo essay. Anyone want to donate photos? We'll get group credit and copies of the mag. Hehe. Let me know.
Very Tabo Yours,
Karlo |

Everyone's invited to SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE AND FURRY, a group exhibit featuring the creative talents of Lala Gallardo, Genie Ranada, Gel Jamlang and Sharon See.

| Imagine this:
You're on a train to Legazpi City. Twilight has fallen and you're hunkering down on your seat, attempting to grab some shut eye as the train clackity-clacks down the tracks. From out of the corner of your eye, you spy a lola, probably in her seventies and wearing Sophia Loren sunglasses, a few seats ahead. She half-stands in a crouch and looks about furtively. From her plastic bag she takes out a tabo and places it on the floor between two rows. She discreetly pulls down her skirt, squats over the tabo and takes a piss, all the while her head sweeping about in a bizarre human impersonation of radar, watching out for the conductor. Once her business is finished, she stands up, pulls up her skirt and pours the contents of her tabo out the train window.
I didn't have to imagine this scene. I didn't have to imagine this scene three times. I love the rails. |
| I was at a dinner with a friend of mine who works for Top Gear magazine. And I was telling him about the Tabo Project. He got a funny look on his face and then proceeded to tell me that when the magazine was getting ready to do a Pagudpud to Bicol road trip, one of the items listed down in their "to bring/buy" list was... a tabo.
Yun lang, sharing.

| So, ubb622 - Tabo Trooper Gone Wacko, goes to the mall to have logo stickers printed. All seemed peachy. UNTIL, the lady starts retrieving the prints from the machine and gives the logo a good look, then throws a strange questioning glance my way. I gave back a "you don't want me to get started, trust me" face. I wonder if Tabo stickers should be printed at home instead? Left the place a proud Tabo Trooper though =) |
| Disaster. I carelessly deleted the radioactive tabo project. Ayay-yay!
...back to the drawing board... |
| My uncle once thought it was cool to have a tabo business in Canada. He thought that those people using toilet paper just wasn't enough.
So he packed lots of tabo and tried to export it there. And the Canadians just didn't get it.
In short, the business venture failed. I think he gave away the hundred of tabos he shipped to all the Pinoys there (who did get it!) |
| K, Tabo Troopers! Enjoy the holidays! I have to leave in a bit to return Alistair's kidnapped for ransom tabo. His travels to Bicol will not be quite the same without it. Best Wishes ubb622 |
| Hey folks,
Holy Week break is coming up and I'd like to take the time to encourage all of you to take your tabo wherever your feet take you. I know that a lot of us are going out of town, so this is our big chance to take photos for our Tabo Travel gallery. Let's try to reprazent the following topics:
a. beach tabo
b. mountain tabo
c. urban tabo
d. rural tabo
e. luxury tabo
f. transportation tabo
g. religious tabo
Good hunting! |
| In Negros Occidental their word for "Tabo" is "Cabo".
The english translation might be dipper... but it's not function specific.
What's it called from where you're from? |
| Lalapot is the latest humaaan to fall to the Plastic Tabo Invasion! (Note: this is supposed to be a link but I can't seem to post links to taboproject) |
| Ali.... do we put up a gallery already to stash Tabo Travel Troupe photos? Kage has one... that should start the ball rolling... What do you think? Then we can have another picture gallery just for "artsy" painted tabos (but wait...that is not a travel tabo...)
This is not like using my personal multiply account...hmmm... |
