i just wanna rant...
i feel like i'm treading the path of contentment these days. a number of times have i caught myself smiling for no apparent reason at all. but i'm not gonna be blogging about my bliss now... i'd rather keep the details for myself.
my junior year has officially started today. but i'm not gonna be talking about it either. haha. while i was riding a jeepney in UP kanina, i was unfortunately seated near a girl who was hardly trying to use her conyo lingo while she was talking to the driver. it's not that i'm underestimating the ability of the driver to understand the taglish-ing of this pa-conyo girl. i just find her choice of conyo-lingo-ing the driver awkward 'coz it was pretty obvious that the driver was having a hard time understanding her. the passengers were also translating everything she said to the driver. moreover, she doesn't look like she has some foreign blood running through her veins for her not to know how to speak straightly in tagalog. forgive me, my abhorrence for pretentious people is utterly obvious!
a short version...
girl to mamang driver: manong, where's my change? i've given you six pesos.
mamang driver: (dedma lang)
girl to mamang driver: manong, where's my change? you should give me singkwenta
mamang driver: ano?
passengers to mamang driver: mama, yung sukli daw po na singkwenta.
mamang driver: (stops the vehicle to attend to the girl's queries.)
girl to mamang driver: manong, where's my change?
mamang driver: ha?
passengers to mamang driver: mama, yung sukli daw po. singkwenta.
mamang driver: (gives a 50-peso bill)
girl to mamang driver: no manong, i gave you six pesos. like, you should have given me fifty cents for a change. you get it?
passengers to mamang driver: mama, singkwenta centimos lang po ung sukli niya.
mamang driver: (passes 50 cents to the girl)
the girl, after having been completely satisfied receiving her FIFTY CENTS, she then talks to her friend: "naku, sayang naman ang sukli ko kung pababayaan ko lang noh. fifty cents rin yon!"
*** after all, pwede naman pala siyang hindi mag-inarte! duh.
