THIS POST IS MOSTLY TAGALOG CENTERED, so non-filipino readers might not be able to get some of the stuff i say
since it's summer, my mom decided to sell ice...so just a while ago someone bought ice
me: *came out of the house to give the ice*
guy: took the ice and gave me a hundred peso bill *note: TOO BIG!*
me: *note: this will be meaningless if i translate it to english so i'll use tagalog* wala kang barya?
guy:
unfortunately, wala. *in a show off, arrogant kind of way*
me: *moment of silence*.......eehhh?*weird face*
guy: ah wait! *went to his mother who had change with her*
me:*got the money and went inside laughing*
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAH
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! omg, that really really really really..i dunno what's the term to be used..but that was just weird. he could have just said directly 'wala'[nothing] but he still had to say it with
unfortunately. XDDD
BIBILI KA LANG NG YELO MAGPAPAKASOSYAL KA PA!XDDDDDDDDD
note: the guy was a friend of ours[me and my sister] when we were younger along with his other siblings. i heard that he and his sibling are out of school youth and that he once worked in a call center. so okay, wtf, since he worked in a call center he talks like that even when he just buys ice in the neighborhood. im amused.
my sister had a suitor who also worked in a call center. he called our house one night and spoke in a very socialite manner, the tone that can make you pissed off coz he sounded so arrogant just because he spoke in english.LOL, we got in an argument and i hanged up on him. my sister just laughed about it when i told it to her coz she doesnt like the guy, said that he's arrogant.LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. i'll kill that guy when i see him again.arrogant bastard, PANGET KA NAMAN!KALA MO KUNG SINONG GWAPO..XDDDDD
i dunno why im so pissed off with these kind of people, maybe because i think that you don't have to pretend to be a socialite just to impress someone[unless you were brought up that way by your parents]. like c'mon, you can show that you have class even if you speak pure tagalog without sounding arrogant. also, you can speak english without sounding arrogant.either of the two is fine.
like at school, im a mass communication student but that doesn't mean that we have to speak english the whole entire time, you don't have to show off. and what's with the snobbish english speaking attitude? sheesh. just because you speak english you can act like a snob? wth, english is just english, a universal language.it doesn't give you any right to look down to others just because you paired up english with your snobbish attitude.
now, go to divisoria. who do you think can haggle the most: a snobbish pretend socialite english speaker or a respectable humble ordinary tagalog speaker?
one must remember, for someone to respect you, you must also respect them and make them feel comfortable with you, not intimidated.
