  1. I know what you mean! I was in a C2 boutique a few days ago and there were several balikbayans who were getting the map shirts. Tapos sobrang trying hard to converse sila in English with a twang. Sobrang loud pa ng boses. Lumabas ako, sabi ko aloud sa Sales Person, "Nakakawalang gana! Saka na lang ulit titingin."

  2. Nakakaasar talaga yung ganyan at marami akong nakakasalamuhang hindi naman ganyan ang sinasabi pero parang ganyan ang asta. Mas nakakaasar pa yung mga mali ang ingles tapos pag di mo naintindihan at hindi nagawa ang pinapagawa nila dahil ang gulo nilang kausap, kasalanan mo pa. Leche.
