According to my wife, "kikay" means "things that girly-girls do", like makeup, bags, shoes, anything to do with girls and making "paganda" or "pacute"... like my wife's makeup kit, she calls it "kikay kit"... whatever the hell that means...

Funny.....
My wife just said the exact same thing that sanjuanboy's wife said. For a better translation, maybe the word in a sentence would help. As pointed out by LUMBIA, there are also other meanings.

Hi kevin,
I would say I'm not current anymore of these terminologies. I didn't know that kikay kit has this meaning. How words evolved ! Hmmmm, I suspect my teen nieces are more familiar of this funny word.

| That's actually where my question originated. I'd seen the term 'kikay kit' in a magazine and wanted to know what it meant. Thanks - makes sense now.

Hi Sirena,
Jolog is a type of insult. A way of calling someone a "NO CLASS" or "LOW CLASS" This is usually termed only towards the younger people & teens.
It would somewhat be the same as what we (here in the STATES) might mean when someone calls another "WHITE TRASH" or "GHETTO"
Here is a something I found:
Originated from Jolina Magdangal Organization whose fans are those lower class filipinas who, if not unemployed, work as housemaids and worship Jolina's lack of taste in fashion. Today jologs could mean anything that is lousy and of low class.
1. Derived from the combined words daing (salted fish), tuyo (a type of dried fish) and itlog (egg). Dyolog then became Jolog, a term for someone who is tacky, but implied in a more negative tone and often referred to people who belong to the lower class of society.
2. "Baduy", "skwating", tacky
3. Someone who likes Jolina Magdangal (a tacky, teeny-bopper wannabe)
4. Jolina Organization
5. Someone from the lower class of society who tries to be cool but ends up a failure and in turn becomes a "jolog"

Thanks for clearing that one up!
Here's another thing that I've been wondering about. A Filipina friend of mine recently described attending the funeral of the child of one of her workers (a carpenter). He and his wife had just lost their little son to an illness, and were devastated. My friend paid for the coffin as the family are desperately poor, and attended the wake. She then went on to describe how half the neighbourhood turned up at the house expecting to be fed! How sad that this little family who were going through such a horrific experience were then put under the pressure of having to feed everyone, when they could ill afford to do so. Is this normal? In my experience, people behave the opposite - in other words they would come over and bring a casserole or something! They would help and console the grieving family, not expect things from them!
How does this normally happen here? Thankfully I have not had cause to know much about funerals...

I haven't tried kwek-kwek but I saw it in a photoblog section (http://www.mindanao.com) . You may search for it in the section to view the photo. Quite famous in Davao City. It's described as boiled egg coated with flour and fried. Looks like a modified doughnut without a hole!

this is like fried breaded boiled egg. for some, it might look gruesome because the breading is a bright orange color that doesn't look remotely appetizing
