    I really like these little pronunciation mistakes.

    My Visayan (Cebuyano) is dreadful so I really am proud of her.

    I now say crips too, well why not, a little bit of fun never hurt anyone!

    Does anyone else like the way our English words come out?




    Maayo Kaayo bai! Tinoud!

    Ya, and you know what else, I've started using sorta bisaya grammar sometimes, as when I was living there - for a year until a month ago, I had to use bisaya every day, coz where i was, very few people spoke english with any kind of fluency! lol

    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
