srsly:

You lived in Iloilo? So you can speak Ilonggo? :D Ang panimalay(?) sang akon nga tatay dira nakatira (nangabuhi?), ang akon nga lolo, lola, kag pakaisa(?). I haven’t been back in like, six years though. I always do an inner flail whenever I meet someone who can speak Ilonggo, because I suck at speaking it now and it’s a shame because I didn’t even exert any effort in learning it (I just sort of picked it up as I was growing up). I can still understand it though! :D But the only phrases I know now are “kapoy na ko, puli na ta” and “gutom na ko, kaon ta.”

(Just the other day I had my friend Mark, who is from Bacolod, explain to me what “manul” means.)

Kapoy na gid man ko, gabi na ko abi nagtulog mung.  8D Yup, I just got here three years ago. I can’t say I learned it. It’s more like something innate. If you ask me about grammar and such, I’ll look at you with a blank face. xD Ang masubo, di ko gawa kabalo na magtagalog, hahah. xD
