doodles, ideas, anything bright & dull

a repository of all the clutter in my mind

Ok is such an ok word. Whenever you say ok--- a nod, a smile, or a good, reassured feeling usually follows. It is very useful too. You can use it when you actually mean any of the following: yes, yeah, alright, sige, even 'sige na nga'. If used in this sentence, "I'm Ok", it generally means "I'm in good condition", or "I'm fine". But if used by a female, it could also mean, "I'm not OK", or "I'm not fine, can you not tell?". For cases like this, context clues would be really helpful in order to generate an appropriate response. Parents also appreciate 'ok' as an answer to questions like "Could you fix this?, Could you cook for us tonight?", or "Come home before midnight, ok?". Ok can also be an adjective. It can be used to describe someone, like... 'She's such an ok gal!', or "what an ok guy!"; or describe events like --- "How was the concert?", "It was Ok." And man, you can spell Ok in different ways! Okay & Okey are both acceptable. In addition to that, because of it's widespread usage in the Philippines, it has become "Filipinized" and now comes in such forms as --- okei, oks, okidoks, and in SMS messaging,simply, "k". I can talk some more about 'ok' but hey, you might not find that ok anymore. So got to end it here, okidoks?
