Suplado Tips by Stanley Chi

Everyone has their own different interpretation of being sexy. As some people think that being nice, having a great body and looks, being smart could show off their sexiness but for this book this is certainly not the case. After carefully reading it, I was enlightened but in a different way.  

Though the book shouldn't be taken literally as some people might assume. Stanley Chi's Suplado Tips (How  to be a snob) is a good read and is quite humorous in its own way. The jokes are simple enough and some of them are applicable in real life plainly because it shows how some of our wise crack comments could be more hurtful rather than amusing. 

Personal understanding :
Most of us could translate the jokes in our own weird way but for me the jokes were more of a lesson. I actually saw what I used to do to my friends and how a joke I made could actually mean a different thing. Sometimes answering a stupid question could be quite irritating but answering it as a jerk doesn't help anyone. Sometimes the easiest questions could be answered in the simplest way and yet most of the time we try to complicate ourselves by answering it in the most unethical way possible.

Comedy Night with Stanley Chi, Ony Carcamo and Justin Pinon at the Grillery Cafe

We left the party at the Tatt Awards (see separate entry), for a night of laid back comedy night at the Grillery Cafe.  The Grillery Cafe is a humble and a bit hidden cafe located in the midst of Guijo Street in Makati.  It's walls are decorated by arts from various Filipino artists and all art pieces are for sale.

When we arrived at 11:00 p.m., we thought we were late as all the bloggers and their friends were already there.  Turns out, we were just in time as the show was just about to start.  It was the our first time to watch a comedy show and we had a tons of fun!

The first to perform was mentalist Justin Pinon.  It was my first time to watch a mentalist whether on screen or live.  The guy was awesome.  He can read muscle movements, tone, and more to know what you think. He guessed the volunteers words such as "yellow" and "pacifier" despite them being difficult.

The best of Justin Pinon's act is when he was blind folded and was able to guess what the items the volunteer picked-up just by her muscle movements.

The next to perform was ventriloquist Ony Carcamo.  I've watched a ventriloquist on Kiddie birthday parties before but the memory is quite vague.  Mr. Ony Carcamo has excellent ventriloquist skills but I failed to catch some of his jokes.  His style of jokes is leaving out clues that will lead you to the humor.  I have to admit, I'm kinda weak at that.

Finally, it was Stanley Chi's turn to make us laugh.  His style of jokes were about his life.   It was simple, witty and good.  I was expecting him to do live some of his "Suplado Tips" but I guess that for the radio shows.  He also announced his upcoming book "The Suplado Stories" coming this December.  His first book "Suplado Tips" are now in its second printing after being sold out.

 He then awarded the winners of his Suplado Contest.  I won a shirt too.=)

During the night, Stanley Chi also asked for participants and awarded them with Unisilver time GCs and books.

Thank you Stanley Chi for the complimentary Cheesy Fries which we munched on during the show.

Overall, we had a good night and some good laughs.

Suplado Tips from Stanley Chi because Suplado is the New Sexy

I'm the type of person who has difficulty in comprehending jokes from magazine or sometimes movies.  Naturally, I'm not that fond of comedies so its the first time I've heard of Stanley Chi and his book "Suplado Tips".

When you hear "Suplado", there is a negative connotation to it right?  Like when you don't notice your friend waving to you at a mall, you'll hear them say "Hoy! Suplado!"  By that, you'll have an immediate defensive reaction and will reply "Hindi ah!"  

So when I heard a booked named "Suplado Tips" being a best-seller, I became curious that I had to search the book store for it.  I'm so glad I did because I had the WRONG idea.  The book explains how being a "Suplado" can help change your life.  It teaches you to be witty at times when being a "Suplado" becomes a necessity.  That's right being a "Suplado" is not a full time job but it may be helpful at times.  A perfect example is when a guy wants to impress a woman.  I'm sure most of us girls will agree that we don't like easy guys.  With the "Suplado Tips" from Stanley Chi, I'm sure you can make an impression.  

This reminds me of my childhood.  When I was young, I was always teased.  You'd be surprised at how many nicknames I had and how many boys I was teased with.   Years later, I asked them seriously,  "Why me?  Why was I always the one being teased?"  They all said, "Because you're too nice.  Hindi ka kasi napipikon eh! (you never get irritated)"  So lesson learned.  Being nice is good but being too nice is NOT!  A person should be balanced in everything.

Stanley Chi is a genius for figuring that being a "Suplado" is actually the new sexy.  It takes wit to pull off Suplado stunts.  We're so lucky that he has his tips ready to be read.  Here's a few of his Suplado lines that is sure to leave the other person speechless.=p

"Pa-English English ka pa, Sipain kita dyan eh!"


Haha! Funny but it works right?

His book is a huge success that he is joining Iya Villania and Sam Milby as endorsers of Unisilver time.  He's very own "Suplado Watch" will be releasing this August.  So check out his new book and you can also catch him over the Suplado Show at  www.pinoytuner.com
