Kwento

In the Philippines, when people want to talk to each other they say, "let's make kwento." My brother hates it, and makes fun of people, saying 'how do you MAKE kwento? Do you just cook it up (with matching hand signals, air-cheffing)?' I actually think its pretty neat. Its making a story with someone, crafting a tale and subsequently a memory with someone you want to make it with. It's including people in your experiences or juicy gossip or whatever. I think that's pretty awesome.
