Im an alien!

Friday, November 24, 2006

Well, not necessarily the E.T type with all the telekinesis and stuff like that.

Im an alien in a place where i dont really feel i belong. I am an outsider to their traditons and practices. I am left out and disoriented to with the place, not to mention, i always get lost and left totally paranoid during conversations.

I admit, it has been a year since i first stepped in this world inhabited by visayan speaking people but until now people still make fun of the way i speak.

I always felt like an alien here. Not knowing what to say or how to react most of the time. There are times when i have to stay expressionless and risk being called dumb becasue i dont understand what the rest of the people around me is saying. I can understand a little, and i think i could say that it is an improvement. Im trying to learn the dialect to conversate with them, the problem is, most of the time they would only make fun of me and my intonation.

yes, i admit that my bisaya is embarassing because i often say it with the ilonggo intonation.And i often misuse the words not to mention misunderstand it. I dont really know how to use the words in a sentence so i have to mix it with english and tagalog. Most of the times i speak in english entirely, and well as expected my schoolmates would sometimes look at me with raised eyebrows and think that im "sosyal" and "maarte". I dont have the choice. I would rather be called maarte than be embarassed with their laughters if i try to explain in bisaya.

Thinking about it, the only time i could really speak in bisaya is when i buy something or ride a pedicab. I often stay in the office (School paper) and we speak in english there. In my boarding house i speak in ilonggo since my roommate is ilongga also. I do speak in bisaya sometimes but they are not really spoken straight and without intonation. Let's just say that they are often adulterated bisaya.

I do hope people here will learn to accept the dialect i grew up with. I dont want them to really try learning it, but i just hope they would stop laughing at me because they are not really helping me with that. I guess its just an unconscious prejudice with the dialect that force them to do it. Im trying very hard to understand them because frankly speaking, i dont have a choice.

i know i cant eally force them to stop because i know we ilonggos do that also if we hear visayans speak.

I guess i just have to bear with them since this is their territory, so to speak.

I dont know if i will ever learn this dialect much more love it.

but i guess im starting to learn..though its quite slow but i at least im trying.

This can be a really good learning true religion you’re giving so true religion outlet the idea out for nothing. I really like witnessing web pages which know the worthiness regarding giving an excellent learning true religion jeans for nothing. It’s that outdated just what should go all-around occurs all-around regime.

In my life, a lot of things remain unsaid.
In my life, a lot of emotions remain unexpressed.
And this is where they all go. And this is what they all become. Junks in Cyberspace.

Netizens

So what about?

Wonder what it mean?

Sagbot- a hiligaynon term meaning "kalat" or trash. May also refer to weeds.

Why? Because most of the posts in my blogs (yes, not just this one) contains rants and ravings--junks of my life.

=====================

I started this blog in 2006, my first official blog outside social networks. The title of this blog was different then. The writing was even more different.

I had neglected this blog for more than a year now. I would post something from time to time but never really updated it. And now I am trying my best to ressurect this blog and hoping that I could somehow import my other blog here.

I started this blog when I was 17, and three years after I am now in the cross roads of my life. And this blog will be one of the silent witnesses of the ups and downs of my life.
