“takot sa sariling anino”

walang usok kung walang apoy

there's no smoke without fire

Daig ng maagap ang masipag

Being early and prepared beats hard work alone.

parang aso't pusa

always fighting

anak ng tinapa

a mild exclamation of surprise or annoyance

kung hindi ukol, hindi bubukol

if it's not meant for you, it won't be yours

maitim ang budhi

evil-hearted

mukhang pera

greedy for money

lumagay sa tahimik

to settle down, to marry
