I do know that Cebuano can’t speak much tagalog, they usually speak more in English I suspect? But I can understand word by word unless you’re not nitpicking me or something.

Hahaha, I like those reactions. I think people would even asked me, (not referring to my accent) as “Are you Chinese”? No way, my skin color is golden, that makes me a Filipino. I mean, it wasn’t bad, just that how can I be Chinese when I don’t know how to speak one myself?

I didn’t know there are different accents in England? I know if you’re an Irish then I can tell.

I kinda pick up the French English accent and some German clients does know how to speak English fluently - not that I judge French people the way they speak, I just notice that they are proud of their language in general, just like the Cantonese.

Isn’t it true tho that in Canada they refer Coke as Pop?

I notice that too, parang it makes us feel so proud somebody other than our race try to speak our language. Wag lang yung “mura” or else I’d be offended. So merong disavantage/advantage pa rin.

On Arnel, I hope he stops doing the “dedicate this song” style on concerts, nahahalata not that I’m jealous hehehe but he rocks!

That’s true, speak from the heart kesehodang may provincial accent ang English. Pero you know, when I speak in Tagalog, meron akong tono, hehehe.

I can’t really say if I talk with an accent. I’ve never had any of those american accent trainings they offer in the office. I think I do fine though except when I speak in Tagalog, and that’s when my Cebuano roots show. Lol.
