Yes... But Not Really... uhmm No

It's funny when people mistake you for having the opposite of something you have (or don't have). It begins with this joyful appreciation of what you actually have or don't have, then comes the denial, then the awkward silence, and finally the self-doubt. For example, a girl I know are a little bit rounder for the past month and when some friends saw her the dialogue was something like this:

Friend 1: Ohemgee! ang cute mo ngayon... napakablooming! (OMG! you are so cute today... so blooming)
Friend 2: Eh natural mare, baka batang babae ata ang dinadala niya (Naturally, she's probably conceiving baby girl)
Girl: *smiles bashfully* uhm, di ako buntis (I'm not pregnant)
---------insert the sound of crickets here-----------------------
Girl: I'm not eating tonight or tomorrow!

Sometimes, side comments also cause the same effect even if you are not directly being referred to. Going to the gym to exercise naturally causes muscle growth and with it weight gain... here are a few awkward comments (especially if you are a guy) that one can hear as he/she exercise and try to get healthier/leaner:
"Uuuuy! Tumaba ka na sa wakas. Ang laki-laki mo na! *tone is similar to as if you are being compared to an elephant*
"Hala magpapayat ka kaya. Parang may cleavage ka na eh... bakit matigas?"
"Bakit parang ang taba mo, pero ang ulo mo pareho lang. Tapos wala ka namang double chin"
"Bumilog katawan mo... Pero wala kang tiyan... para kang palaka!"

After hearing those comments, you begin to doubt if you have been doing the right thing. LOL

On the topic of misconceptions, a certain type of wine comes into mind... What could be the worst that a full glass of very sweet, brilliant, fruity, juicy, and luscious red wine do to you? If it is Port, it could probably cause you to sweat profusely and would probably get you dizzy even if you have just finished half of it.

Port is a fortified wine produced only in the Douro Valley of Portugal. It is typically sweet because before all of the grape sugar is converted into alcohol, Brandy is added to the wine to stop the fermentation process. This produces a full-bodied wine with an alcohol content of 40 proof or 20 percent alcohol by volume. Ports are mainly classified as Ruby, Tawny, or Vintage, based on the aging process. Through aging, red wines turn lighter and the color turns from red to brown. Ruby port then can be assumed to be younger than tawny port.

Partners Ruby Port is produced by Sandeman. It has a ruby core and a garnet rim. The smell is a stronger and fruitier version of the Mateus (see Mateus Post, April 19, 2011) since the grape varieties used are similar. It has a very sweet and fruity bouquet  similar to figs, raisins and cranberries. It is very sweet, full-bodied, and has a similar flavor to dried fruits. It has a sweet finish that doesn't cloy.

Note slow "legs" in the sides of the goblet as a sign of high alcohol content
