Case in point - calling your boss sir. When I came to Canada I noticed that even the CEO of the company is called by his first name, parents in law are called by their first name too. At the end of the day going with the flow seems harmless and can preserve harmony. Some people, senior bosses at that are irked and even offended when they are called sir. Net net calling by first name puts everyone in the same level of respect and such informality lessens the tension and makes everyone feel like they're peers and therefore makes socializing a bit easier. I like it.<br /><br />I also personally feel that even the ho, po, opo, oho are simply nusiance to the language and inhibits people from being direct to the point. Marami pang paikot-ikot and pa ek-ek. Wala naman sa Ingles yan. THat's why I kinda like Ilongo , my native tongue kasi diretso na - matanda o bata pareho lang ang grammar tapos. Of course, modulation of voice lang ang adjustment pag matanda ang kausap :)bwhttp://bwzone.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988840146314740773.post-68468010685079013232011-02-07T02:44:33.304+03:002011-02-07T02:44:33.304+03:00Where I used to work, the "powers-that-be&quo...Where I used to work, the "powers-that-be" disdained being address as "sir", they preferred to be addressed by their first name.

I buy stuff only when really needed. And if ever I buy new ones, I make sure that we use them for the whole family, and not for myself alone. Believe it or not, I have not bought a new pair of jeans for more than ten years already. My younger sisters are getting bigger and bigger as they age and I am the one left who can fit into their jeans, so I get their hand-me-downs. I just buy my blouses and shirts, but I get them on sale, too. As for food and medicines, I don't compromise my kids' health that's why I am all out with their medicines, vitamins and especially food. The husband is also like me, only thing we are different, he buys really branded ones, he buys Adidas shirts and Merrell shoes, but that happens once or twice in a year, so I am okey with that, he deserves it anyway.shenghttp://sdumalay.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988840146314740773.post-37349481081816760912011-01-29T21:55:11.157+03:002011-01-29T21:55:11.157+03:00Anonymous, naku ay sinabi mo pa. kaliwa't kana...Anonymous, naku ay sinabi mo pa. kaliwa't kanan nga dito. namumula ang mga mall sa dami ng mga letrang S-A-L-E!<br /><br />Ms.Jo, how about kung 50% discount na "buy one take one" pa ang mga handbag na LV at Couch? >: DBlogusVoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07265408367249921265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988840146314740773.post-53435536084432988092011-01-29T19:26:06.903+03:002011-01-29T19:26:06.903+03:00I spend when it comes to good food and having a co...I spend when it comes to good food and having a comfortable place here in the UAE (after all, it's a consolation being away from home). But I'm kuripot when it comes to bags and other stuff which really depreciates. Ang point of view ko, if there's an alternate which is cheaper why not get that instead. I'm now on my 3rd year in the Lower Gulf and this is the season of shopping (i.e. Dubai Shopping Festival). Ang challenge ko sa sarili ko, never to shop anything at this time of year. So far, hindi naman ako natempt sa 3 yrs.
