I’ve never been comfortable writing or speaking in English mainly because 1) Grammar hates me 2) I express myself better in Tagalog.  If you’ve been following me for quite some time now, it is pretty obvious that I almost always write in Tagalog.  I use smileys a lot as well.  When I write in Tagalog, thoughts just keep on coming.  But when I

juskupo lord asa lj ka pa rin! naloka ako. hahaha. oh well towel. akala ko walang makakabasa nito hiyang-hiya na ako okay. haha. ayoko pa namang may nakakaalam na kilala ko in person.

anywaaay. insecurity ko forever yan e. ewan ko ba, never lang talaga ako naging comfortable. at natigilan ko kasi magbasa nung college, sooo. ayun. atsaka siguro nga kelangan ko na magsulat in english? pero kasi maka-tagalog talaga ako kasi minsan may mga hinahanap akong words na hindi ko ma-translate sa english. or tanga lang ako. hahahaha. shet.

hindi naman kailangang libro talaga basahin mo, kahit balita sa diyaryo or magazines! wag lang yung mga gossip magazines, pangit yun e :))

lagi kaya akong patingin-tingin lang dito :))

minsan naman kapag hindi masyadong obvious hindi nila pinapansin...kapag talagang incoherent na yung nakapost dun lang nagrereklamo yung iba...or minsan kapag napansin nila yung common grammar mistakes such as their/they're/there tsaka you're/your. anyway kung mali ang grammar kebs lang! ignore the haters but acknowledge constructive criticisms para mag-improve :P

waaah asa LJ ka pa pala! grabe akala ko wala nang tao dito. okay nahiya na ako. wahaha.

sa six years ko sa college e halos hindi ko nagamit ang english talaga mygehd. tas walang kwenta pa minsan sa engineering kasi bihira ang magagaling mag-english so wala namang kumokorek sakin lol.

haha salamat! hindi ako magaling pero naiirita ako sa your/you're there/their na yan XD

[polayn_jap]

pero advantage talaga yung maging proficient sa english kaya gogogo lang!

common mistake yan ng mga tao dito xPPP ay naku tsaka lalo na yung then/than!!!

[prettierdanpink]

You know, now that I think about it, I've never really seen grammatical errors from you. o_O You shouldn't feel insecure about your English. I think it's fine just the way it is. Reading English books will definitely help more. Or watching English TV shows. :P

Plus, you got to write in English so that I can understand!! xDD

[prettierdanpink]

Aww thank you! That means a lot ;___; I always read / watch English books / TV shows but I just can't write that well T_T

Haha, so sorry for my Tagalog posts and tweets! XD

[lovemelody]

You're so welcome! It's the truth. :) Are there any places in the Philippines where people tend to speak more English?

You can practice the writing, so that is good! Haha, and it's okay, I'm only teasing. :P I can totally understand why you'd feel more comfortable with writing in Tagalog - your mother language, after all!

[prettierdanpink]

Love your icon! :O Haha. Ian!! ♥

Yes, there are actually some schools here in the Philippines where most of the students rarely speak in Tagalog, especially in the ~city~. I came from the province so that's why I'm more comfortable in Tagalog. It's not an excuse to not use English though!
