TIMORI as they call it. I never heard such word ever since until i was in high school, that was year 1999 when i saw some writings in the board. It was written in a common alphabet but i couldn't understand it. Me and my classmates had a hard time figuring out what the writings mean. It says "OMPS SAAL HOMPYANE" i just change the original words since the original is a foul word, insulting one of my classmate.

It was about 7:30 AM and we just arrived at our classroom. Every student ask one another if they understood the meaning of the words that were written in the board until our teacher came and read the writings in the board. It took her for about two minutes to translate the words and smile.

She called my classmate named Andy and said, "Andy your handsome". It's what the writings mean. She ask, who wrote this? I've had a hard time figuring it out since i'm still in my younger days when i last heard this kind of writings.

At that time our teacher is about 35-40 years old.

The student who wrote the words in the board is from a remote barangay. He told us that old folks in their barangay still use those words and they speak very fast as if it is their natural language.

Until there are many rumors roaming around the campus regarding the writings we saw in the board, that only few knew about that language and those are codes used by some rebels or guirillas so that when they talk with each other only they can understand.

TIMORI can be applied in any language. They just shuffle the alphabet so that its hard to understand when read.

Below are the alphabet, English alphabet that are shuffled and now called TIMORI

                                      A = O

                                      B = T

                                      C = C

                                      D = P

                                      E = E

                                      F = F

                                      G = G

                                      H = H

                                      I = I

                                      J = J

                                      K = K

                                      L = R

                                      M = N

                                      N = M

                                      O = A

                                      P = D

                                      Q = Q

                                      R = L

                                      S = Y

                                      T = B

                                      U = A

                                      V = V

                                      W = W
