Greetings Hivers, @justinparke here with a brand new ASEAN Hive Community Challenge for you all, π° Show Me Your Dipper πͺ£, or perhaps you call it a tabo, bailer, or scoop.
Β Β Β Filipino comedian Mikey Bustos, elevated the dipper, or tabo as it is called in his country, to international fame with a hilarious music video extolling the many uses of this humble water scooper. I have seen these all over Southeast Asia, and I think we have at least 6 of them at our home here in Cambodia. I use them for bathing, washing potatoes, filling the water filter, and many more things.
Β Β Β For this challenge I want to see your dipper in action even though the most common use isn't exactly something we can share photos of ππ¦π«π. Well, there are an infinite number of uses beyond butt washing for the plastic dipper so well-known in SE Asia. Foreign guests often ask what the dipper is used for, so I think this challenge is a good way for us ASEAN Hivers to show everyone the many uses of this plastic marvel.
Β Β Β This challenge served as good evidence that the traditional medicine of SE Asia is very diverse among the different countries and cultures of this part of the world. Here in Cambodia, a slightly painful massage can cure just about anything that ails you, and if it doesn't, it can at least help to distract you from what ails you. There is a rich tradition of herbal medicine in this part of the world as well, and you'll certainly find some interesting treatments within the winners' posts.
He always touch the pulse first to all his patients. He knew right away what happened to you. Then, he will massage or hilot the patient, you must just bear his massage is painful but after whoa you felt relief. Like my son hahaha he smiled but he just bear the pain. After my Son , I was next. Then, next my hubby who was just inside the van, Tatay Marsing went there, he massage him.
I will share with you the plant that we always count on every time my Type 1 Diabetic daughter will have a fever. We call this plant "Insulin Tree". The first time we used it was when Jewel got re-active with dengue fever and her blood sugar became High and would not go down to normal even if I already injected her with the insulin prescribed by the Doctor. I shared this happening on one of my blogs.
I remember before my mother in law told me that because of poverty her kids never experienced medication. And she thank that too because they can't afford to pay the bills. Then I asked her when they are sick how did she treat them? And she replied I had herbals around. My son has also under gone to circumstance and even we went to hospital procedure we still gave him boiled guava leaves. When it comes to wound I really advised you to try guava leaves because I can prove it's effective and safe.

Congratulations to the winners of the previous #41 week's challenge, all of your posts about folk medicine are very interesting, yes, as we know Southeast Asia is very rich in this alternative medicine π
Wow..hahaha this week's challenges are amazing, I have to admit that you @justinparke really understand the customs or daily culture of the people of Southeast Asia. In fact, in my opinion, when compared to the natives of Southeast Asia, you as an outsider are more familiar with the customs of this Southeast Asian region πππ
Alright, I'll try to take part in this Show Me Your Dipper challenge, I hope I will win it π€£
Haha, well I am always learning, especially about things in SE Asia beyond Cambodia's borders, but I do find many similarities, especially between Cambodia and Java because they are historically linked. I take your words as a big complement π.
The Dipper Challenge is a hit, I should've done this a long time ago.
Oh wow, haha. I think I will join but I have to think about what about my tabo that makes it "special" haha.
It's my first time seeing that video of Mikey Bustos. π
Every tabo is special after a few years of wear and tear. I have watched the tabo Mikey Bustos so many times, and it is still just as funny as the first time I watched it.
Wow. Thank you so much ASEAN Hive Community for the chance and privilege. β€οΈ
My pleasure, thanks for joining with such an outstanding entry.
Oh tabo or we call it kabo in our local dialect is really a need in every Pinoy's house.
Very similar sound to the Tagalog name. In Cambodia there aren't really dialects, just slightly different pronunciation around the country. The Philippines has so many languages, and because of this most people from your country can speak Tagalog, some English, some Spanish, and usually a dialect or two, true polyglots π.
Yes you're right, Filipinos didn't unite in dialects except Tagalog our national language... We should learn Tagalog as we use this to communicate other Filipinos with different dialect.
Oh, thank you much you choose my entry as the 1st winner @justinparke
There is nothing better than a slightly painful massage π.
Very interesting topic. This is my entry for this challengeπ

Your setup is very similar to ours, and I always forget to explain to foreign guests how to use the dipper to flush the toilet π.
It's good to use dipper in flushing. Especially we don't have that much water in our place. It greatly helps reduce the consumption of water.
Hello... I'm finally back with an entry... hahaha https://ecency.com/hive-141359/@tegoshei/asean-hive-community-challenge-42
I think you are the only person who uses a tabo as a stylish hat π.
Congratulations to all esp. To all winners! π₯°
All entries were very informative and interesting, a joy to host this challenge.
In tagalog term we called it "tabo" ππ
Yes, I know the word tabo, very cool you have one word for it. In Cambodia there is no special name, and it is actually two words, roughly translating to "scoop (for) water."
Wow congratulations winnersππ
Thanks for the show of support.
This is my entry for this initiative.
