Tapuwan pud ni sa amo.

Pagkatapuwan = n. laziness; adj. very lazy (also ARANG KA TAPUWAN)
SALVE REGINA, MADRE DI MISERICORDIA.
VITA, DOLCEZZA, SPERANZA NOSTRA,
SALVE! SALVE REGINA!

Thanks for the clarification, Vince.

My paternal grandmother , who was a native of Leyte, also used the term "tapuwan" instead of the Binol-anon , "tapulan."

"Arang" i notice is used to imply an extremity of something. Thanks.

It makes sense now when my great-grandmother from Padre Burgos, Southern Leyte, said to me (when she first saw me this past summer 2010), "Dodong, arang pariho man ka sa imong papa!"

Ning ingon pood ko nija, "Lola! Arang dakoa man imong smile!"

Ingon pood baja sija nako, "Ay, kai naka kita ko sa ahong apo sa sungay!"

hahaha. Ay si lola! :)
