Pinays from Abroad
Sunday, July 17, 2005
I visited Pinay friend Cel, yesterday and it was a blast of food and laughs again. In her flat in Monaco we had "sinigang na baboy" and rice, sarrrraaaap! Mantika na naman nguso ni Lola nyo. LOL
She told me some stories she had from other Pinays.
1. A kababayan went home in Batangas. For ten years after granted papers from US she went home. In the morning, she walks around the garden in front of her house, wearing a robe ala Madame in her three inches house heels. She speaks in her put up slang for the neighbors to hear : Mama, the garden is beautiful, oh I love the flowers, and this tomatoes and this eggplant...continuing her english speaking.
Her mama said: Anak, tagalugin mo na lang...
Anak said: Mama, I been in the States for ten years, I dont remember tagalog anymore...
Mama said: ganon?! Pasok si Mama sa loob bahay.
Ikot ikot sa garden si Pinay.
Nakaapak ng tae ! LOL
P----g Ina naman eh, bat may tae rito !
2.Another one in Italy, after two years went home. Yabang agad. She speaks Italian to friends to impress as she said she do not speaks Tagalog anymore.
When a dog barks and run after her she cried:
SAKLOLO! MAY ASO !MAY ASO !
3.A Filipina went to a mall in Philippines and speaks English to her daughter while doing their shopping.
"Hmmm, what you like, Carla? You like this? Or this? Or maybe we can go there and look around, etc etc... (halatang nag papa impress of her clipped accent, Galing England LOL)
No offense meant sa mga friends ko sa UK ha?
Salesgirls rolled their eyes. Eh di naman ma get ng daughter what she says, no. Two years old , how she understands her clipped english???!!!
Susan Roces arrived. She is a typical Cebuana, you know.
(Hi nga pala sa mga taga Cebu, punta ako dyan July 31. Yehey)
Balik tayo sa kwento...
Ms Roces said in her malutong na Cebuana slang:
"Hilo , Inday,Hilo, gud morning! Miron ba kayong bag-ong dating na casual clothes ngayun?"
Saludo ako sa mga taga Cebu!
Meron ba kayong na met na na ganito ka show off?

uY correction (daw) Bisayang Bacolod pala si Ms Roces.
Sapakin ko ba si Pinay? mali mali kung mag tsika ! Phamak yon ah. Mamaya nabasa ni Mme Roces ito, sasabihin, Oy, di ako taga Cebu, baka si Gloria yon? Kasi love niya taga Cebu?
Mind you, yong mga Pinay na nag english pag naka uwi, depende kasi yan sa mga Pinoy na nakikinig.
As Joy, said: Filipino culture natin, may hindi pa sanay na tayo ay when from abroad for long, our mind is set sa everyday language of the country na.
I ve been 25 years now in Manila, and if speak with Ilonggo, medyo bulol na ako, pero naintindihan ko.
Or, sige na nga, matanda na nga Lola nyo.Hik hik hik !

OMG, how true! I try to be friendly when I see a Pinay but get rebuffed once in a while. When some of them realizes what I do and all the diplomas I have they try to back-pedal, pero too late. Si suplada na ako after that.
It shouldn't matter what one do and how much one earns or what one drives or where one lives. Di ba? No matter how much self-denial or delusion it can't be denied we are Pinays or of Pinay-descent. I get mistaken for a Latina often but I always say, "No, I am Filipino" or to the Latinas who talks to me in Spanish I always say, "No, yo soy Filipina."
One time my hubby and I were talking to another couple where she is obviously of Filipino-descent and he's white like my hubby. To make small talk I asked her if she was Filipino and speaks Tagalog, sus, ang sagot "I am an American!"
Si ako na-inis, so I answered sarcastically "Oh, you must be startled everytime you look in the mirror and you're not blond!"
Eh - nog-nog na nog-nog pa naman. Ay sus!
I tell you - both the 2 true blond guys (our hubbies) laughed out loud and I'm sure her hubby got in trouble when they got home!
What's wrong with even saying "My parents came from the Philippines but I was born here."?

jane,
nahihiya ba yong kausap mo na he is a Filipino origin?
Mama mia.
Kulay nog nog pa naman?
You are proper to ask him about his nationality as we sometimes looked like Latina or sometimes from Madagascar or Thailandaise.
But to deny, one is a filipino, where does he thinks he came from?
dear dear dear...

Hi Madame,
Nakakatawa naman ang balik-bayan stories mo! May mga taong talagang ganyan. May bisita kami noon na balik-bayan, pati kulay ng mata pinalitan(contacts) ng blue... pero nog-nog din!
Thanks for sharing your stories.

Kakayabang na balikbayan, mamaya madukutan...
hehe, trulili, saw pinoys who are exactly like that..
bat ako, niloloko pa ng sis ko na bisaya na daw yata ako (sowe po sa mga bisaya, common joke naman sa pinas di ba), kasi ba naman, when i asked for a passport by phone and they asked me to spell my name, i pronounced I as how they pronounce it here in France, ano daw ba yung name ko? AnalEsa? ngek, bisaya nga hehe..

Talking about bisaya..........
May officemate ako noon, tanong namin kung bisaya siya...sabi niya, malutong na "hindi." Ilongga raw siya galing Bacolod. Ngeeee!
Ako, proud ako kung saan ako galing...sa bundok!

I don't think of it as anything else.
One speaks English or Italian or whatever the heck they choose to.
Here, we just accept it as...they speak another language...great, wonderful. I wish I could do the same.
Pero interesting talaga ang Filipino culture (sa Pilipinas), no? Just a thought.
