Becky was the first one to introduce me to Amber where she brought pork barbeque and pancit . It has been a long time eating there. Carmina was craving for pork barbeque. I had suggested to Becky to dine in person at Ambers after picking her up at her home. Upon entering there weren't that many people more on take outs we had looked over the menu since the print was too small to read decided to take a picture and zoom it on my phone. Becky and Carmina decided to share five pieces of pork barbecue. Becky ordered carbonara , and I chose one to serve of rice. You can choose where to sit when dining inside Amber. There is a restroom available, but it does not provide toilet paper, and it is a unisex facility. If you have leftovers can ask for assistant to have it wrapped up for you. Becky also recommended to try their pichi pichi which had ordered for takeout bring it home to eat. After trying it at home very soft even if you put in the refrigerator and warm in the microwave th...
Recently, I had added my old friends
whom I grew up when I was younger and while they we're watching my videos I had
posted my friend made a comment did you adapted the accent of a Filipina
because your voice sound so different.
I never had a slight feeling my voice was different may be I have been living in the Philippines since year 2008 and to me I had to adjust myself when I only understood Tagalog in what my parents taught me when I was really young.
I also spoke English and during the time I had moved it wasn't really spoken
much here. I had a difficult talking to the employees who was living in the
same house with different languages from their province in the Philippines.
You start living in the Philippines for a long time you end up picking up words
your employee tell you as well on your own when you listen to Tagalog music and
Tagalog movies no matter what you can pick it up easily when you are inspired
to learn.
The funny part my mom, my sister and I all sound the same when we talk.
As you meet people and they hear you talk over the phone they are shock to her an American girl who they use to hang out in California is a different person when she talks in Tagalog. The part they can't seem to keep up when you tell them a story they talk so fast and it becomes mind blowing who is this person I am talking too is this the same Carmina I knew thirty years ago.
Why does her voice sound like I am talking to a Filipina that grew up in the Philippines and studied there?
When you have lived twelve years in the Philippines the opposite of your friends living back home they sound more Americanize from you it is like we have switched places from them.
Apart of you have changes because you become accustomed to the life in the Philippines.
I can still talk fluently in English and I talk really fast that a lot of people have to stop me to talk slowly.
When I travel in California my voice begin to change to the American girl they
know and when I return back to the Philippines they look at me strange thinking
you have only stayed for vacation for one month how can your voice be so
Americanize so quickly.
