HAHAHAHA nakaka-relate ako dyan mga bro....

may na-meet kami na pinoy dito, architect sya at medyo kailangan namin na makipag-coordinate sa trabaho sa office nya...so during the meeting process we talk in english since mga british at chinese ang ka-meeting namin....then inabot ng lunch time yung haba ng meeting and the company director decided to treat us w/ the lunch...so habang naglalakad kami eh nakipag-kwentuhan kami dun sa pinoy....aba eh hindi raw nya kami maintindihan dahil di na raw sya sanay mag-tagalog...so tinanong nung kasama ko kung ilang taon na sya dito...sabi nya ay around 7 yrs na raw.... sabi nung kasama ko....its quite funny because I've been here since my second grade... sa pinas lang ako nag-grade one...and I never forget our language even though I've learned and can speak cantonese and mandarin fluently...my friend here is already a permanent resident also, and he also never forget his tagalog....you better be careful, one day you might also forget your name......

pahiya si loko....di na nakakibo at namula sa kahihiyan, ni hindi na makatingin sa amin nung mag-resume ang meeting.......NYAHAHAHAHAHA

siguro ang impresyon nya sa amin eh baguhan lang dito at nagpapa-impress ika nga....

ICB, hindi naman ako ganun. Hehehe.

...ituloy natin.

So ang nasabi ko na lang ay,"Ganon?", sabay talikod na lang. Funny thing is that he is the one who greets me first. Ako naman tanga hindi ko napansin yung puro, "Yeah?! Ah huh?". Deym! I hate those kind of Pinoys! Sabi ko na lang sa sarili ko na kadalasang sakit ng ibang balikbayan ay Amnesia:D. Ok, some readers will react that inggit lang daw ako. Well, hindi po ako inggit kasi Ok naman ang income ko dito sa Pinas and waiting for our petition. At baka ako naman ang magkasakit doon. :D

Lets relate this naman to cars. Mazdamazda can vouch for this. Anyway, sa kabilang site, may thread na ang title is "Mazda 3 1.6 vs. Honda City 1.5". So ok, basa lang ako. Tapos meron isa doon na nakakatawag pansin ang pagpopost. Aba, napaka galing kung titignan mo. Tapos ang post niya is "mas malakas ang Honda 1.5 kaysa sa Mazda 1.6". So sige, he posted the power specs between the two cars, so obviously mas malakas ang City 1.5 than the Mazda 3 1.6. Pero nagduda pa rin ako. So I asked him kung na test drive nya na yung 2 cars that was mentioned, akalain niyo ba na isinagot sakin ay "You don't have to test drive all of the cars just to know which is more powerful or which is better, you can just tell which better by checking out the brochure". Aysus ginoo! Di kaya nga nagtetest drive para makita ang difference ng 2 cars. Kasi may posibilities na mas malakas ang hp ni car X kaysa kay car Y pero si car Y maganda steering response. Pag napapagusapan namin ni MazdaMazda yun, natatawa nalang kami.
