Suplado to the Next Level: A Review on Suplado Tips Book 2 and Book Launch

Book Launch Review

After the success of the Suplado Tips, the sequel released its sequel  held its book launch last March 2012. The book launch was also successful where it was attended by avid book lovers and fans of Stanley Chi, media and bloggers. In addition, comedians Ramon Bautista and  Tado Jimenez, rappers Harlem T., Sheyhee, and Juan Lazy, band Bakeshop and mentalist Justin Pinon are also in the book launch as special guests. It was an entertaining show where Justin performed mind reading tricks, Bakeshop launched their career as a band with their singles and  some icebreakers and prizes to the fans of Suplado Tips. 

The highlight of the show is the suplado rap battle of fliptop artists Juan Lazy, Harlem T. and Sheyhee against Stanley, Ramon and Tado which made the book launch livelier and funny. 

In the end, I learned about the importance of books as an important reference although people are using E-Books and only few are reading conventional books. Lastly, learn to patronize our own products and masterpiece because according to Kit Perez, "Basta Gawang Pinoy, ASTIG!"

Bookworm Review: Suplado Tips 2

The sequel of Suplado Tips is raised to another level of entertainment, humor and content. In the first book, the cover is simple with a wooden brown color and it is made up of gray paper for its pages. The second book has a smoother pages and cover with blue color. The content is not just more on Suplado tips and hirit but they have an additional supplements such as trivia, sarcastic subtitles, picture comics, stories or anecdotes, and illustrations from comic artists. The foreword was written by Ramon Bautista and there is a Suplado slam note in the first part of the book. The Suplado Tips are divided based on categories including daily life, watching basketball game, holidays, workplace and surfing the Internet. 

Here are the top 5 notable suplado tips in book 2 plus its supplements:

1. On class reunions and talking about their former classmates and friends who didn't attend the reunion which is a topic among people who are present in the event: Isnabin ang invitations ng class reunion para mas lalong maintriga ang mga classmates mo at pag-usapan ka pa lalo (Kung sino ang wala, siya ang madalas na pinag-uusapan)

2. On dealing with easy-go-lucky people who inviting their friend who is not planning to go on gimmicks: Kung panay ang yaya sayo ng kaibigan mo sa mga gimik at wala ka namang balak pumunta, sagutin mo ng "Busy akong tao dahil may ginagawa ako para sa kinabukasan ko!" (Nakakasira ng barkada ang pag-aaral)

3. On having a hard time on using the new stuff in Facebook: Kung madaming nagrereklamo sa bagong Facebook, hiritan mo ng "Bumalik ka na lang kaya sa Friendster!" (Palitan mo na rin ang cellphone mo, gawin mong pager para nostalgic!)

4. On dealing with officemates who are fond of criticizing others and making gossips: Kung may naninira sayo sa office, okay lang yan... Ibig sabihin, parati ka niyang iniisip! 

5. Carolling: Kung may nag-ca-carolling sa bahay niyo, patayin niyo lahat ng ilaw at sumigaw kayo ng "Walang tao dito!"

Blogger's Note: The sequel of Suplado Tips proves that Stanley Chi is one of the best humor writers in Pinoy literature nowadays. He is also shown his candor in observational comedy as well with delivering sarcastic jokes to those peculiar situations which is annoying to others. Therefore, he also advocates the use of conventional books than E-books because how did you use your computers or I-pods if there is a brownout or if there is no source of electricity. It is better to use books because it helps you to expand your vocabulary, enhance your reading skills and it is a practical and relevant source which you can keep it for many years. More power Sir Stanley!

Isang Testimonya sa Pagbasa ng Suplado Tips

"Pag may natanggap ka na Facebook invite para sa isang event, mag-reply lang ng MAYBE. Para pilitin kang mag-attend ng event nila, kahit alam nilang baka hindi ka pumunta." - Suplado Tip 44

Natanggap ko ang event invitation na ito para sa book launch ng Suplado Tips ng napakakisig at nakakatawang manunulat na si Stanley Chi. Gusto ko sana pumunta ngayong araw na ito subalit wala akong pera pamasahe (dahil ako ay galing pa mula sa Cavite) ngunit ako ay bumili sa National Bookstore sa isang branch ng malaking mall sa Dasmarinas, Cavite. 

Noong nagtanong ako sa saleslady kung saan ang Suplado Tips buti nahanap nila ito kaagad at kinantiyawan pa ako na "Uy si Sir gustong maging suplado!" Sinagot ko naman "Hindi naman po sa ganun kasi gusto ko lang mabasa yun libro ng Facebook idol ko na si Stanley Chi." At noong napunta na ako sa cashier para bayaran ang nabili kong libro, napatingin sa akin at parang di makapaniwala ang kahera sa napili kong libro (dahil pakiramdam nila di ako ang tipo na bibili ng ganung libro dahil sa kabaitan ng aking mukha at kilos).

Libro ng Suplado Tips

Noong nasimulan kong basahin ang librong ito, may mga parte na nakakainis kasi nakakabastos ngunit mas marami dito ang nakakatawa at gusto kong gawin sa tunay na buhay. Ang ilan sa mga sitwasyon dito ay katotohanan na ginawa ko na rin at ginawa na din sa akin at sa ibang tao. Sinagutan ko rin ang Suplado Quiz kung saan nakakuha ako ng 35 (Suplado ka nga pero kulang pa!) na sa madaling salita ay tunay akong mabait at minsan lang magsuplado at magtaray. Ang librong ito ay binubuo ng 10 Supladong Hirit at 100 Suplado Tips.

Ito ang ilan sa mga quotable quotes at suplado tips na natutunan ko at pwede kong magamit sa araw-araw o natamaan ako:

1. Hindi ako SUPLADO, mahiyain lang ako! 
2. Kung alam na ng lahat na may bagyo at biglang may nagtanong sayo ng "May bagyo ba?" hiritan mo ng "Itanong mo sa PAG-ASA!"
3. Kung sinabihan ka ng kakilala mo na "Ang suplado mo naman!" hiritan mo ng "Sige bigyan mo ako ng rason para hindi kita supladuhan! sabay walk out para hindi na siya makahirit ulit!
4. Kung ayaw mong mabasted ng babae huwag kang manligaw!
5. Kung hina-hassle ka ng isang tao, sungitan mo siya para makahanap ng katapat niya!
6. Kung nakikinig ka ng radyo at biglang nakikisabay sa pagkanta yung kasama mo, hiritan mo ng "Nakikinig ako ng radyo para marinig yung boses ng singer at hindi yung boses mo!"
7. May mga taong puro sarili lang niya ang gusto niyang pag-usapan o kaya naman pag nagkukuwentuhan gusto niyang siya lagi ang bida, kailangan sa mga ganyan hinihiritan ng "Hindi umiikot sa'yo ang mundo!"
8. Pag nasa office ka at nakita mo ang kaaway mo na sumisipsip sa boss niyo, magparinig ka ng "Bakit may linta dito sa office?" sabay hampas mo sa table para kunwari pinapatay mo yung linta pero sa loob-loob mo lang yung kaaway mo ang hinahampas mo!
9. Kung may inuutos sayo ang Boss mo pero kaya naman niyang gawin yun hiritan mo ng "Ano na lang mangyayari sayo kung wala ako?"
10. Kung may ka-officemate kang MAYABANG, hayaan mo lang siyang magyabang... Huwag mo siyang pansinin tatahimik din yan!
11. Kung marami kang ginagawa at nakatunganga lang ang officemate mo paringgan mo ng "buti pa ang ibang tao nagpapaka-busy yung iba dyan papetiks-petiks lang!"
12. Kung insecure ang officemate mo sa'yo, magkuwento ka lang ng magkuwento para lalo siyang mainsecure sa'yo!
13. Kung may nagtanong sayo kung sino at ano ang trabaho mo, hiritan mo ng GOOGLE ME!
14. Huwag kang makipagplastikan kahit kanino, kung asar ka sa kakilala mo, ipakita mo!
15. Kung may ginawang kasalanan sayo ang isang tao smile ka lang pero huwag mo itong kalilimutan dahil gaganti ka sa kanya in the near future.

Ang librong ito ay mura lang, nagtipid sa papel (yun pala puting papel yun na mukhang makaluma) ngunit masasabi ko sulit ang tawa at ang mga leksyon na natutunan ko. Kay Mr. Stanley Chi, isa kang tunay na karapat-dapat sa larangan ng pagsusuplado at pagsusulat at isa ka sa naging inspirasyon ko kaya ipagpapatuloy ko ang pagsusulat. At magkakaroon na ng sequel ang Suplado Tips na maganda ang papel ngunit nakakatawa at masaya pa rin ang mga hirit! At sa susunod na book launch ni Stanley Chi pupuntahan ko na talaga ito! 

Gala Dyournal: The 32nd Manila International Book Fair at SMX Convention Center

The 32nd Manila International Book Fair entrance.

Last September 17, 2011, the 32nd Manila International Book Fair was held at SMX Convention Center at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. The book fair was participated by different publishing companies and bookstores in the Philippines, supported by SM Mall of Asia as the main venue for this event. I visited various booths in the said book fair from educational books which offers encyclopedias and discuss lessons in different school subjects for student to religious and inspirational books which help to improve our spiritual life.

PSICOM Booth

In the said book fair, right after I visited the religious and educational sections, I visited the PSICOM booth where they publish cookbooks, anime magazines, horror stories, and humor books. In the said booth, I saw the comedian Tado Jimenez with his signing of his book entitled "Ikatlo sa Huling Libro." While waiting, I bought the three Chopsticks series and Suplado Tips book for only P50.00 each with the total of P200.00. Then right after thirty minutes of waiting and visiting different booths, the Fil-Chinese cartoonist, stand up comedian, host and the author of comics strip Chopsticks and the bestselling book Suplado Tips, Stanley Chi arrived in the booth. In the book fair, I completed the three Chopsticks series and the Suplado Tips book which he signed all the four books he wrote. Although he is a suplado, he is a very nice and accommodating person. 

The Chopsticks comic book collection from series 1 to 3.

Congratulations Stanley Chi for the continuous success in your writing career and you made a part in a book fair plus more power to your new show in GMANews TV called Hecklines and I hope that you win in Komikon Awards. (You got my vote!) I would like to thank Mr. Chi for signing my book and giving the gift certificate and at last I see you in person and to the two kuyas who assist and accommodate me (especially the one who take picture of Stanley and I) thanks a lot for the time and bonding.

His latest book, Suplado Tips.

The first Chopsticks series.

Therefore, this book fair is successful because of the people who attended this event ranging from students to teachers, from young professionals to executives, from book lovers to bloggers and most of all to the authors, educators, and management and staff of different publishing companies who participated in the said event as well with the SM Mall of Asia management,  kudos for the successful event.

Suplado to the Glamorous Fame

Stanley Chi at The Medyo Late Nite Show with Jojo A. which  shows a glamorous impact of being a Suplado.

SUPLADO is the NEW SEXY. This is the tagline of the small pocketbook found in humor or entertainment section of bookstores nationwide. You can buy this book for P95 which looks like a typical pocketbook of jokes with brown cover. The title of the book is “Suplado Tips” by the Filipino-Chinese stand-up comedian, TV and radio host and the Maestro of All Suplados, Stanley Chi.

At first, I thought that Suplado Tips was a common humor book where only people who buy the book will laugh on it. But when I bought it a few months ago, the jokes written in the book are funny, candid and applicable in real life situations especially in dealing with annoying scenarios. I really love the book in terms of the candid and frank jokes. I made a review about the book on my Blogspot as well as the Facebook encounter with Mr. Suplado. The two things I mentioned show that the book made an impact in my life and it added in my list of favorite books of all time. 

In addition, Suplado Tips is truly a hit among readers and lovers of humor and entertainment books. Stanley Chi made a successful book launch in National Bookstore in Mandaluyong plus various radio and TV guestings such as The Medyo Late Nite Show with Jojo A. on TV5. Then this book will make a second publishing due to it was sold out in some bookstores. Also, Stanley Chi will become an endorser of Suplado Watch this August, although he got a lower number of votes in the Facebook poll but he made it as an endorser of UniSilver Time among the popular celebrities who endorse UniSilver like Iya Villania and Sam Milby. Finally, Stanley Chi will be doing another radio hosting job through Suplado Show on Dig Radio (formerly NU107).

Definitely, I am looking forward for the sequel of Suplado Tips and it is more exciting and funnier than ever! Kudos for the glamorous success and fame of being a Suplado!


This blog made it to the 10th place of Suplado Contest held by Stanley Chi. 

Bookworm Review: Suplado Tips in Daily Experiences

"Suplado Tips" is a humor book written by cartoonist, stand-up comedian and writer Stanley Chi. This small, brown book is composed of a foreword by comedian and newscaster Ramon Bautista, one hundred suplado tips, ten supladong hirit, ten suplado commandments, five suplado meter signs and a suplado quiz. Suplado Tips costs only P95.00. Although it is affordable and cheap because of paper quality, Suplado Tips is one of a kind because of the author's candor in delivering punchlines and tips in this book.

Suplado is a Tagalog word for snobbish and the tips written in this book are practical in terms of dealing with situations which irritate, annoy or pressure us. Here are the list of situations where Suplado Tips are applicable.

1. My most favorite part in this book is dealing in worst-case scenario in your workplace such as office gossips, insecure people, laziness and tardiness, and arrogance of your boss or team leader.

• Kung may officemate kang maingay at walang ginagawa during office hours, hiritan mo ng "LAHAT KAMI DITO BUSY SA TRABAHO!" para pag narinig ng Boss mo iisipin niya na lahat kayo masipag at yung kasama niyong maingay ang tamad!
• Kung hina-hassle ka ng isang tao, sungitan mo para makahanap siya ng katapat niya.
• Kung may inutos sayo ang Boss mo pero kaya naman niyang gawin hiritan mo ng "Ano na lang mangyayari sayo kung wala ako?"
• Kung marami kang ginagawa at nakatunganga lang ang officemate mo paringgan mo ng "Buti pa ang mga ibang tao nagpapaka-busy yung iba dyan papetiks-petiks lang!" 

2. In spending our time in social networking sites such as Facebook and Yahoo and even in texting, there are situations which irritate us because of too much addiction in texting and internet surfing of a person.

• Kung may nag-text sayo pero di mo kilala kung sino siya dahil hindi nakaregister ang number sa cellphone mo, replayan mo ng "HUS DIS PLS?" at pag nagdrama siya ng "BINURA MO NA NUMBER KO?" hiritan mo ng "OO MATAGAL NA!"
• Kung panay ang tag sayo sa mga videos at photos na hindi ka naman kasali... I-delete mo kaagad sa Facebook yung contact mo!
• Kung may comment ng comment sa Facebook status mo na nakakainis, I-UNFRIEND mo tapos i-ban mo kaagad sa Facebook.

3. Suplado Tips are also applicable in dating or having relationships.

• Kung tinanong mo sa ka-date mo "Anong gusto mong kainin?" Pag sinagot niyang "KAHIT ANO" bigyan mo siya ng biscuit at tubig pag nagreklamo siya hiritan mo ng "Labo mong kausap sabi mo kahit ano tapos ngayon nag-rereklamo ka!"
• Kung ayaw mong mabasted ng babe, huwag kang manligaw!

4. Even in daily conversations and mingling with people around you, we cannot avoid to look on unusual and irritating people or situations

• Kapag sinabihan ka ng kakilala mo na "Ang suplado mo naman!" hiritan mo ng "Sige bigyan mo ako ng rason para hindi kita supladuhan" sabay walk-out para hindi na siya maka-hirit ulit.
• Kung nakikinig ka ng radyo at biglang nakikisabay sa pagkanta yung kasama mo, hiritan mo ng "Nakikinig ako ng radyo para marinig yung boses ng singer at hindi yung boses mo!"
• May mga taong puro sarili lang niya ang gusto niyang pag-usapan o kaya naman pag nagkukuwentuhan gusto niya siya lagi ang bida, kailangan sa mga ganyan hinihiritan ng "Hindi umiikot sa'yo ang mundo!"
• Kung may nagtanong sayo kung sino at ano ang trabaho mo, hjritan mo ng GOOGLE ME!
• Huwag kang makikipagplastikan kahit kanino, kung asar ka sa kakilala mo ipakita mo!

These Suplado Tips are funny and sometimes, it happens in real-life situation especially the annoying scenarios to deal with. Kudos to the book and to Mr. Stanley Chi! Therefore, after the launch of the first book, there are new sets of Suplado Tips posted in Facebook account of Mr.Chi which signals the sequel of the book. He truly deserves to have a sequel of it because if Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere has El Filibusterismo and Bob Ong's ABNKKBSANPLAko? has Bakit Baligtad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino? and if Chopsticks has three books published,  well this is it Stanley, you have the sequel now of your bestselling book. Here are the new set of tips:

• Pag nanonood ng basketball game sa TV at inaasar ka ng kasama mo dahil lamang ang team na kinakampihan niya... Smile ka lang pero mag-cheer ka ng mas malakas kapag natalo ang team niya.

• Kung sinabihan ka ng boss mo ng "Magresign ka na kung magreresign ka!" Magwalk-out ka at huwag ka nang pumasok, huwag mo na din tapusin ang trabaho mo para mataranta silang lahat! Pero kunin mo ang suweldo mo dahil pinaghirapan mo yan.

Excited to look forward to Suplado Tips 2.0!
