Today I tried making milk tea, had my sister taste my concoction, and ended up drinking all of it by my lonesome. My sister found it most revolting to mix hot tea with condensed milk. I also wasn't an instant fan, but after yielding to Joseph's prodding (encouragement was more like it) of trying out the milk tea they serve in PGP non-AC canteen, it became my staple breakfast drink. That stocky stall auntie makes the best milk tea if you ask me.
So what else...nothing much. I'm just bumming around the house since I got back here. But I'm not really complaining. I don't mind being idle for a while, because I know once school starts I'd be pulled in all directions once again for four consecutive months non-stop. So I have to take advantage of this vacation! Hmm...but then again...no friends (yet, coz they still have classes til mid-December), no boyfriend, no part-time job at my mother's office...life gets a bit dreary. Nothing to do at all. I asked my mother whether she needs any kind of assistance in her office right now, and she said there's also nothing much going on, so I might just as well stay at home. Erm, and also after my shameless flirting with one of her office staff last vacation, how to show face mah? HAHA.
Nene is Pinoy Big Brother's Big Champion. But my favorite is UMA. No, CASS. Ok, both of them. They look good together!!! I like Cass because she's also from Mindanao, and I can empathize with her funny accent when she speaks Tagalog. Yeah I know I have an accent too, because Mindanao Tagalog to Manila Tagalog is like Singapore English to British English (or American English if you want). My friends who hail from Manila think I speak Bisaya at home, but no I don't. I do understand Bisaya but I speak 'adulterated' Tagalog.
EXAMPLE:
Mindanao Tagalog
Pepay: Uy si Nene biya nanalo sa Pinoy Big Brother!
Jhun-jhun: Bitaw napanood ko kagabi!
Kring: Atik? Galinga uy!
Manila Tagalog
Pepay: Uy si Nene ang nanalo sa Pinoy Big Brother!
Jhun-jhun: Oo nga napanood ko kagabi!
Kring: Di nga? Ang galing naman!
Haha there might be some inaccuracies but I tried translating to the best of my abilities.
