TAGALOG NAMAN.......

I've been here in manila for 7 months na pero hesitant pa rin akong magsalita ng tagalog sa hindi ko masyadong kaclose.

I never thought the feeling would be like this nung nasa Iloilo pa ako. Akala ko madali lang kasi nga we are equipped with different kinds of media naman; telivision, radio, newspaper, books, magazines, cinema etc. kung saan matututo ka ng tagalog.

At oo, makakapagsalita nga kami ng diretso kaya lang pag nahaluan na ng maga factors like hiya dahil sa strong visayan accent na pinupuna kaagad ng mga native speakers, pag-iisip ng pinakatumpak na translation at kung anu ano pa ay nagiging katawa tawa.

Nakakastress talaga magsalita ng lenggwaheng di mo nakasanayan. Madalas, hinihingal ako. Buti na lang call center ang napili ng puso kong pasukan.

May mga kahihiyan na rin akong inabot dahil sa maling paggamit ng term. Kaya, pag gusto kong makipag-usap, iniisip ko muna ng mabuti ang mga bibitawan kong salita.

May mga nag-aakalang silent type ako. Ang hindi nila alam ayoko lang talagang magsalita pag ang crowd ay di ko mga kaclose.

Kaya tinatry ko ngayong magtagalog para kahit sa pagsusulat ay mapraktis ko. Sana walang may matatawa pag may nakita kayong mali. Ang tagal tagal kong natapos to. Paki correct na lang pag may nakitang mali.

repost of "WRITTEN BY A GUY"

This has been reposted in different blogsites. And since I also find this cute, I decided to make this as my post for the day.

It begins here.........

We don’t care if you’re friends with other guys.
But when you’re sitting next to us, and some random guy walks into the room and you jump up and tackle him, without even introducing us, yeah, it pisses us off.
It doesn’t help if you sit there and talk to him for ten minutes without even acknowledging the fact that we’re still there.
We don’t care if a guy calls OR TEXTS you, but at 2 in the morning we do get a little concerned.
Nothing is that important at 2 a.m. that it can’t wait till the morning.
Also, when we tell you you’re pretty/ beautiful/ gorgeous/cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.
Don’t tell us we’re wrong.
We’ll stop trying to convince you.
The sexiest thing about a girl is confidence.
Yeah, you can quote me.
Don’t be mad when we hold the door open. Take Advantage of the mood im in.
Let us pay for you!
Don’t “feel bad”
We enjoy doing it.
It’s expected.
Smile and say “thank you.”
Kiss us when no one’s watching.
If you kiss us when you know somebody’s looking, we’ll be more impressed.
You don’t have to get dressed up for us.
If we’re going out with you in the first place, you don’t have to feel the need to
wear the shortest skirt you have or put on every kind of makeup you own.
We like you for who you are and not what you are.
honestly, I think a girl looks more beautiful when she’s just in her pj’s. or my
shirt and boxers, not all dolled up
Don’t take everything we say seriously.
Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the beauty in it.
Don’t get angry easily.
Stop using magazines/media as your bible.
“Don’t talk about how hott Chris Brown, Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in front of us”.
It’s boring, and we don’t care. You have friends for that.
Whatever happened to the word “handsome”/”beautiful”?
I’d be utterly stunned by a girl who greeted me
with “Hey handsome!” instead of “Hey baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy” or whatever else you can think of.
on the other hand I’m not saying I wouldn’t like it ether
Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if you aren’t being treated right by a guy, dont wait for him to change. ditch his sorry ASS, he’s a disgrace to the male population and find someone who will treat you with utter respect
Someone who will honor your morals.
Someone who will make you smile when you’re at your lowest.
Someone who will care for you even when you make mistakes.
Someone who will love you, no matter how bad you make them feel.
Someone who will stop what they’re doing just to look you in the eyes….and say “i love you” ..and actually mean it.
Give the nice guys a chance
Guys repost this if you agree
Girls repost this if you think it’s cute
Every Guy who isn’t a jerk will agree with this, so we hope that all the girls that read this will repost this
*Holding Hands
Girls :If you want to hold his hand, gently bump into it a couple of times.
Guys : Grab it if it happens more than once.
*Cuddling
Girls : When you want to cuddle with him, tell him you’re cold
Guys : Automatically move closer to her.
*Movies
Girls : During a movie, if he puts his arm around you, tilt your head on his shoulder
Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.
*Loving each other
Guys : When she tells you she loves you, look deep into her eyes, give her a peck on the lips, and tell her you love her
too… And mean it.
*Laying below the stars
Girls : When you’re both laying under the stars, put your head on his chest and close your eyes as you listen to his steady heart beat
Guys : Whisper in her ear and link your hands with hers.

TAX ISSUE AGAIN...................

I don't want to leave with bitterness in my heart.

Yesterday, my colleagues and I talked about those people who got bitterness upon leaving the companies they worked for. I was asked if I have. I paused to think if there is but I ended up with no answer. I can't think of a reason to be bitter.

BUT........

This afternoon, we received our pay slip and I was shocked to know that I was the only one who
didn't receive a tax refund plus the deduction for tax is questionable.

I lost my appetite to eat my supposedly-palatable fried chicken and vegetable side dish.

After eating, I called the accounting officer and asked for explanations. She tried to explain but those were trash explanations. She couldn't justify it. For that, she told me to talk to the HR Manager tomorrow because she can't answer my questions.

GOOD LUCK TO ME!

It's my turn to say goodbye.....

Now, it's my turn to say goodbye.

I dropped by the internet cafe this morning before I go to work to make the embellished copy of my resignation letter. As I stepped on the treshold of our company, the first thing I did was I checked the addressee of my letter. Unfortunately, she's not around. She's absent for the reason I don't know.

PLAN B: I'll leave it on her table later.

SPENT-WITH-FRIENDS HOLIDAYS

At first, I couldn't imagine how to celebrate christmas and new year with no one in my family around. But it all went fine.

During christmas eve, I and my friends together with the neighbors gathered outside the apartment to share the food we each prepared. I bought banoffee-flavored ice cream. The foods were set in a round table. Aside from what I contributed, it contained roasted chicken, ham, salad, pansit, spaghetti, graham cake, fruits and drinks.

We let the ball rolling by greeting each other a merry christmas and it was ensued by picture taking. And ofcourse, we did not let the mouth-watering foods wait for long.

Earlier before new year's eve, since some of my friends had to go to work, we decided to have a dinner together before they leave. The four of us shared the one-whole roasted chicken.

After the dinner, a kind neighbor invited me and my friend at the same time, namesake April to sing with her using the videoke. And talking about luck, my highest score was 75. I complained and suggested to the owner to have her videoke fixed the day after which they, ofcourse, interpreted as a joke.

As 2009 came to the existence, I dialled my phone and gave my family a ring.
