    How about this? Madalas ko marinig din ito, sa mga "Conyos".

    "In fairness......."
    "Actually........."

    Isn't the line "in fairness" used by Rufa Mae Quinto all the time? I honestly cannot stand her from the words that she uses to the way she speaks and the irritating texture of her voice.

    It's sad that the upper crust of our society have very bad grammar. Is this what they teach at our prep schools? Usually the educated middle class have a better grasp of both english and tagalog.

    depende yan sa upbringing...

    if kids are exposed to jolog-speak all the time, pano sila matututo mag english?

    like if the kids watch kapamilya and kapuso tv all day for years and years, don't count on them to learn any english

    but if they watch disney channel and nickelodeon all day for years and years, di lang sila matututo mag english, may american-accent pa.

    some of my college friends are distinctly conyo, though there really are rich uet they say they arent... like duh what is rich na for them, its like you know owning the whole alabang village, hahaha

    for me its okay to sound and be conyotic but apply them appropriately, sometimes they arent cute anymore the border between irritatingly cute and funny crosses the line of being a biatch and nonsense talk.



    Conyo: di marunong tumawid ng kalye

    Conyo: di marunong mag commute

    Conyo: di pa nakatikim ng street food

    Conyo: How much ba gas ngayon? i don't know eh...


    i have a college friend, shes's uber rich though shes down to earth and isnt conyo in the politically correct term for that, they are just rich, she doesnt know how to cross the street, she has a yaya everytime, she doesnt commute, i influence her to commute and ride a jeep from our school to our home, she doesnt eat street food so we ate kwek kwek, fishballs, squid balls, i let her eat all kinds of balls there is in the street.

    The original conio boys were the spanish mestizos studying in
    La Salle and Ateneo during the 60s and 70s.

    Most of them were soccer players. They always ended their sentences
    with the word "conio" in a thick Spanish accent.

    Most had names like Inaki, Mari, Tonyo. Medyo macho ang dating pero
    mababait naman once you get to know them better.

    when i posted that, i was actually thinking of someone i know

    ganyan sya... sobra sheltered ng magulang

    Umabot na ng college, di pa naka experience mag commute.

    Hatid sundo parin ng driver...

    di marunong tumawid... di pa nakakain sa carinderia...

    it's like she lives in a bubble...
