question: why do filipinos, traveling outside the philippines, talk to their fellow filipinos in english?

naughty ciggies, anyone?

found this packet of BASTOS (a Filipino word [of maybe Spanish origin] which means naughty, rude or vulgar) cigarettes on the street of Hoi An in Vietnam.

what's in a name, eh?!

question: when does a child (not really a child, but an adult of 29 years who has full-time work and lived all his/er life at his/er mum's) leave his/er parent's house?

terrible toothache

my left molar is killing me... argh?!#*?^
what makes it harder is that the dentist can hardly explain stuff to me in English. it's like i'm not really sure if he was sincere when talking to me. i told him i want to save my tooth even if my purse has to bleed (again... too many expenses and another travel coming soon..ugh...). but he wants to extract the poor tooth. i havent made a decision that's why i'm living on pain killers. ooppss..

i should have visited our family dentist when i was home three months ago...
