Long time ago Carmina had family visiting the Philippines last July 2024 when you shop for items to send back home family members requested from you. This year my family came over the month of February and some relatives requested for Philippine Brand Fruit Balls that I had sent. They loved it so much asked for more. Carmina decided to purchase it online found out Dwayne & Kate's Pasalubong Shopee Philippines from Cebu. Carmina had purchased six pieces to give to my friends who haven't tried it. Philippine Brand Fruit Balls are sold for 230.00 pesos ($4.04) not including shipping and handling. Carmina has a lot of friends who has never visited the Philippines. If you can give them the taste of what snacks are popular no problem sharing it to them. NOT SPONSORED. Subscribe @ Carmina Lifestyle YouTube Channel for future updates. Thank you for your support.
Did you ever encounter meeting someone and they speak only one language? In many parts of the world when you have traveled you will meet someone that doesn't speak English. They only speak Chinese or another language that you can't seem to relate. Even if they don't understand them you try hard enough to communicate with them as much as possible with simple English for them to understand you. Or you end up using sign language.
I have the same problem. I live with employees who grew up different parts of the provinces in the Philippines. Some times they can't cope up talking with me. They don't really understand English or Tagalog. They say words that I can't seem to comprehend them. I always ask what is that meaning when they say a certain word that I have never heard of.
In every day life when you live in a culture with different culture or belief. You learn to adapt yourself from them.
You learn words from their languages that they grew up. Some words stick to your brain and others just passes by your mouth and exit out not remembering the word someone just taught you.
The funny part living with these employee and seeing them on a daily basis. They try and learn your language of English. You tend to correct them for the grammar on the way they put the words into a sentence. Some times their language becomes tagalish just like you. You sound more than a foreigner than them.
We end up just laughing at each other.
I always joke with my employee. They never get offended the way I joke with them. I always tease them if you get hurt the way I joke no gift for you for Christmas. They know me already I give every single person a gift even if we have disagreement with each other.
Sometimes when we are not in a good mood and we snap at the people close to us. But, they don't really mean it. It just happened you we're there at their side.
Times like this I always confront the person let them know how I feel.
My in-law's are different they like to make other people involve in their situation. They would tell one person and not confront the person they are mad at. When that story comes to you it becomes over reacted from passing one story to another.
This is what I can never seem to understand why someone can't just confront the person than spreading a story and letting harmless people get involved.
I grew up with my parents when we have a problem we always have a general family meeting. Where we explain how we feel toward each other. We later patch up our problems and move forward.
Living in the Philippines it is different even if you have patch your flaws and mistakes they reveal it over and over again. They can't seem to let go and move forward.
I feel when you live in a different cultural there is always lack of communication. Sometimes when you speak a different dialect than others you misunderstood what the person is really trying to tell you. You end up being mad at each other for simple little things.
I have notice people are so sensitive and you need to watch what words you say so they don't interpret the words that will offend them.
