Suplado much?

I've always wondered if it's just me being suplado, or it's a cultural difference kind of thing.

Whenever I message contacts in different countries - let's say, if I have a question or need some confirmation from a contact in Costa Rica - I would always just say hi, then get straight to my point.

For example, I'd say "Hi [insert name here], just

it's so true. greetings are every bit as important for them white people. my sister and i noticed that too. and they smile at strangers. which would freak you out at first, but then whenever i went out to jog, people would smile, so i learned to smile back. some would even strike up a convo.

try doing that here and it's one of two things. either you get soccer punched to high heavens or you get raped. or maybe you can get mobbed too.

i know right!? shit happens tsong. since when did i smile? even when i ran, i didn't smile to anyone. and yes, i went jogging. out of necessity. not out of want. i had to. or its back to morbid obesity for me. the states does that to you.

Would you prefer a cute "Regina" greeting or a "Hi RA, how are you?" :)

[ever_so_nice]

Well Mico when I first met/saw you, you had SUPLADO written all over you. Hahaha. I even remember thinking, "Should I even bother myself trying to be friends with this mataray looking person?"

Fortunately, I was testing my "make friends" powers. Hahahaha. Swerte mo! HAHAHAHA. Buti na lang or else we wouldn't be best move-el frenemies.

Hahahaha I may look suplado, but definitely not mataray.

Buti na lang your cute abnormal pinkies were too charming to ignore!

I know what you mean. Americans are so fond so the "small talk". Being here in the US and all, I still am not used to talking to total strangers about how they are. Haha! So dont worry, it's not just us, it's us. HAHAHA! That didnt sound right. Hehe..

Pa-pizza ka naman! Dukes of New York!!!!
