i have been hearing these words a lot lately: "jokes are half meant." i was just wondering if its really true. well, i base it from me, maybe it is true, coz sometimes i say a joke but i mean it a little bit, just so the person can get my feelings or just so i can express my feelings without really being serious.
what about you? do you make some jokes but really mean it a bit? you know, like you say, "well, its not like you're a good cook" and then you say "joke!" but then deep inside you, you mean it just a little bit?
is there some kind of truth to jokes? :)

haha.. i totally agree!!! i do the same thing all the time.. i say something which i truly mean, but tell it as a joke so people wouldn't get offended... is this actually a cruel thing to do?? sometimes i think it is.. i think it would be better to come clean right?? hmm.. what do you think..? but anyhow, yeah i do it a lot! and it true, there's always some truth behind every 'just kidding'!

hi there! my friend! kamusta? hehe. do you know what that means in tagalog? that means "how are you". :) hehe. :)
well, looks like we are quite the same on this issue. we tend to make a joke out of somehting true so that some people wont get offended and they can have some idea at the same time. lolz. :) sometimes, it is better to come clean, but usually, we prefer the easy way out and that is totally not coming clean. lolz.
