taglish

Siguro nagtataka kayo kung bakit taglish ako magsulat. Well actually sa totoo lang, eto kasi uso ngayon e. Parang cellphone if you get my drift.

Kung mabasa ito ng mga classmates ko nung highschool, for sure matatawa sila.

" Kris ikaw ba yan? Oh My God!! Ikaw nga. At nagsusulat ka narin? Diba bobo ka dati? Wow this is something!"

Nung highschool kasi ako, in the words of our prinsipal, "Kris, you had the lowest score in the just
concluded (adjusts her grandmother eyeglasses) common examinations, do you have problems?"
Ungas, butas ang sapatos ko, hindi ba problema yun? (sa isip ko lang, baka ako paluin pag viinocalize ko yun).

Principal: 67?! You got 67% in Filipino, whats the matter with you?
Ako: We don’t speak Pilipino at home, we are Igorots, we prefer English maam.

Tumawag siya sa bahay at sinumbong sa tatay ko ang nangyari. She was furious. Todo as in.

Nanginginig ako nung pauwi ako pero guess what happened? Nilibre ako ng pader dear ko sa karinderya ni Aling Bering sa talipapa. Habang palubog ang araw, dumidilim and kumakain kami, my beloved pader dear said:

Natutuwa ako na marunong ka lumaban but what happened kanina was not good. Next time be nice. (taglish din ang pader dear ko)

That’s it. And it changed me since then. Habang kumakain kami, I felt the pure love of a father.
Simple lang siya mag advice and he never laid his hands on us siblings. He's the coolest taglish dad in the
world.
