Mom Violy had been craving lobster but was hesitant to try dining at Burger & Lobster. She mentioned the restaurant to a family member, who said the food was delicious but pricey. She told Carmina she wanted to eat there for lunch on Saturday, January 3rd. Since it was the new year, we decided to explore and try something different. Many tables had reservations, but they also accepted walk-ins, just like we did today. Our server handed us the menu. Carmina already knew what she wanted to order: BBQ Beef Ribs for 1,190 pesos ($20.17). Mom Violy and a family member decided to share the Combo One at B&L for 5,290.00 pesos ($89.66), along with garlic rice for 90.00 pesos ($1.53). A family member ordered an Atomic Burger for 695.00 pesos ($11.78) along with a Lobster Mac & Cheese for 990.00 pesos ($16.78). One of the perks of everyone ordering something different is getting to sample each other’s dishes. Everyone left happy and full, with some leftovers to take home. The port...
You're English is Better than Others
Reason why I say this I have a lot of friends asking for a favor
from me.
I had a friend who had told me I am good in English and wanted me
to check their language on their resume to see if their grammar was correct.
My friend was saying your English is better than mine and I am
applying for a job. I need a favor if you can check upon it to see how I can
make changes.
The funny part my friend gave it in a jpeg (picture). I had typed
it in from the beginning by checking how the format is supposed to look these
days.
The resume I had was old school took me two hours to type and
corrects everything. My friend kept asking me if it was done. I felt I had a
deadline to meet.
I had emailed back the resume to my friend in Microsoft Word.
My friend Yann had applied a job at the call center working from
home. Yann was telling me she is not good enough to speak English. I was
telling her based on her sample of what she gave me she speak well enough for
customers to understand.
Yann just need practice to speaks well enough and not have a slang
while talking. Yann was telling sometimes she cannot understand why a different
dialect is a caller when they explain on the phone.
You will come across people their dialect is deep and the way they
talk is hard to hear.
I gave Yann a short cut on aberration common used when you're
talking to someone to understand what letter they are letting you know.
There are times Yann feels frustrated. I keep telling her at least
you have a job that pays well enough to work at home.
I have a best friend who I keep asking to look for a job we began
listing what experience she has to narrow it out what job she can apply for my
way to give a push.
Sometimes you don't realize you're English is Better than Others only when they begin talking to you.
For a person who grew up in California and English being her first language it is common to keep talking even though you live in the Philippines.
I may sound slang the way I talk but people say I talk too fast. I've heard other people talk fast when I am watching videos in Facebook doing their vlog. I don't think I am alone just the way we talk seem we're in a hurry.
No matter if I live in the Philippines my English is better from all my friends. I speak English at home. Even though I may have slight slang tone in my voice I am still Americanize.
