Adivay
Adivay is the name/subtitle of Benguet Day that is happening every November 23. Adivay is an Ibaloi word. Adivay seem to literally mean a physical chat meeting among 2 or more people.
Ibaloi line
Rushing towards getting my second ride to my work area along a busy side walk in the central business district, I was block by two arguing ladies. While squeezing myself to get through, I heard one screaming the lines:
"Tuway pesing nitan, aishe met mo inkukuwan!"
and I heard no more because I have to go.
"Tuway pesing nitan, aishe met mo inkukuwan!" = "How is that happening, you never told me anything!"
"Tuway pesing nitan, aishe met mo inkukuwan!"
and I heard no more because I have to go.

Reliability of business data seen online.
I do not have the guts to inquire regarding the inconsistency. It may be made part of an experiment next time.
Before coming down Manila, I browsed through hotel rates in the area around my destination. Online reservation systems says, the rate at Eurotel Makati is around 1300 pesos a night. Had I done online reservation for three nights, it would cost about 3900 pesos. Because I do not have a credit card(My preference not to spend what I haven't earned yet made me say NO NO to credit card subscription), I cannot make an online reservation. Anyway, I can just pay when in the hotel.
At the hotel, I learned that the cheapest overnight rate is 2300.00 pesos. No choice, I am already in. It is making me wonder, is it really cheaper if the transaction is made online?
