Okay, that's more than ENOUGH.. It's just a matter of using them naturally and politely... Grabe ang dami. Phewww Wondered why there was many comments and who from. So comprehensive, detailed and funny too if you break up the words. You included ones I didn't expect to see and have translations and pronunciations included. After that, sleep well and rest.

Thanks for the info. It's a big help. Happy Valentine's Day to both of you and Jane. Lol won't remember half of those, unless I practice them somewhere on holiday or meet some native speaker of the language who wants to teach them to strangers.

Oo nga. If in doubt nod. But then again you might not want to nod coz it could be interpreted as the opposite no for yes and yes for no. Confusing huh? Don't know if the hand gesture showing the palm of the hand as a gesture of thanks when crossing the road as a pedestrian or in the car apply universally to most cultures. What do you think Cutelei??

Wow, thank you very much Janey & Elz.... The rest was up to Miss Elz. You know when driving with the first instructor I was clumsy with the his car. I was turning the lights on accidentally coz they were about the same place as the indicator. Thank goodness the next car is laid out differently. I could also forget to express thanks when I'm busy concentrating so much on what I'm doing.

Thanks for saying Joseph. Unfamiliar with how people drive in States. I just hear it's a bit easier to obtain license and automatics are more common over there. It makes sense for the long drives on straight roads. Whereas over here, it's more windy, narrow and hilly. My current instructor amuses me with her story of how people can aggressively use lights. I've seen it in action were drivers flash their full beam or use the fog lights unnecessarily to blind each other to vent their frustration and anger at being harassed from behind or for forgetting to turn off their full beam. Thankfully, I've had a good driver warn me to watch out for a fallen branch on the road.

Wow cool you've a mixture. I love the fact that it's a huge melting pot of cultures, but at the same time from having worked in catering and a similar type of job, the atmosphere can be a bummer. I don't miss that part. Must be something that happens in most places. Sorry what do you mean P ....'if the Kitchen God's eyes were closed and would rather prefer to listen to whispers in her ears??' Unfortunately in our case, we don't have a wider social network and contact of having friends or relations in high places. It's either we do it ourselves or work harder through many years. I dunno if you can wait that long. But when you do achieve it, it's all the more sweeter coz you earned it big time. I'm happy that you're sticking to it no matter how difficult it is for the time being. You'll be out of there some day until you're ready financially and when you get another offer. I did the same in call centre. I hated the job and pay was poor, but had a good craic with the colleagues and sometimes even the customers.

Can I come with you to Italy? Whereabouts exactly in Italy? I wonder where Ate Tess wants to go on vacation and whether she wants to go there. I can only imagine having read and seen the horror stories of many of our poor OFW kababayans working in places where it's hard to speak the language and don't know where, how and who to turn for help. hahaha bienvenido na lang after my lolo.

Yeh true conversing is the most difficult coz it's more spontaneous. hehehe if she can remember to teach me. Don't want to speak in English. I want to merge with the locals and to cut out the part you mentioned.

That's highly unfair. Terrible management. Shame it happens quite often. If only the world of work was more fair and equal. Usually the employees that are in as a friend or relation with the boss, supervisor, co-ordinator etc could almost get away with murder. As you said, as long as the work is done, they don't give a hoot who did work and who didn't do anything. So proud of you more than you know. Sorry to hear that boss has her moments as a cow. At least you just give what you're paid for. That way less likely to get abused and taken for granted.

Rome I'd love to go. Miss Bebong recommended some other places in Italy. Can't remember where exactly. Maybe Tuscany. Quite expensive for the flights alone most of the time.
