mga kababayan marami akong gustong baguhin as in marami.

una s lhat (syempre una e) dpat pag alam mong may depekto ks a pronunciation e magaral para di pagtawaan ng kapwa pinoy. imagine pag cinabi mo ang " rid appul" hillu, whats yor nim? mag aral... mag aral.... at mag aral...

ikalawa ( o pangalawa... ano po ba tama? naku papatayin ako ng filipino professor ko nito e) wag maging manhid. basta ako pagnagtayo ako ng school s bangkok, lahat ng teacher ko Pinoy. khit n b international school eto.kc magaling ang pinoy uhmmmm hindi lahat ha. pipiliin ko magaling n pinoy. at s tulong ni master J, magtatau ako ng skul bukas n bukas din. hahahahahaha

ikatlo, pede po b nating iwasang mangutang s kapwa pinoy.hahahhaha ako yun a.

ikaapat, please nmn wag nu tanggapin ang trabaho pag mababa ang offer. kc nagiging trend na e. pag ang unang pinoy s skul e mababa ang unang sahod, ganun n din ang sahod s mga susunod n pinoy.

ikalima, ideport n ung mayayabang na ala nmang pinagyyabang. alam mo n ung maangas. tapos pag pinagsalita mo ng english e patay! alay k niya.

ikaanim, dpt lahat ng pinoy e sundin ang sufficiency economy ng hari. magandang idea d ba.

ikapito, sana lang pag nagborder run kau at nakitakita e wag nmn masyado maingay. nakakhiya kc ang ingay e. as in maingay tlaga. grabe. pde nmng magusap ng di nakasigaw d b. at kung may N95 ka e wag u na isigaw n meron ka para madinig ng taong nasa dulo ng linya. grabe... nakakhiya! ewan ko s inyo pero ako hiya me e.

ikawalo, dapat maging matured s workplace. dont act like a child. eeeeeeeee what a shame.

ikasiyam, wag magkunwari. maging totoo s sarili. drink royal true orange. hihihihi

ikasampu ( huli n po ito) ayusin ang sarili. walk the walk. talk the talk. walk the line.

Since we are given the opportunity to work abroad and experience different culture I think it is befitting that WE start to make changes not only Filipinos from Thailand but Filipinos around the world. Here are changes  think we need to make:

1) Discipline: I hope we can bring to Phils the discipline we have learned from our host country. Like pagtatapong ng basura, here we don't throw trash anywhere but to the trashcan. Or lining up to ride the train. Dito nagtitiyaga tayo pumila sa BTS/MRT para paraanin yung lalabas at nde makipag unahan pumasok. Sana eh dalhin natin pag uwi yung disciplina na natutunan natin.

2) Show off (sorry not sure what to call it): I think everybody agrees that when we go home to Phils eh magastos. Bakit? kasi we tend to spend all our hard earned money to show our family and neighbors what we got. Akala tuloy nila madali kumita ng pera abroad. I think one way to change this is to only bring what they need. If in case they say "ah sabon lang? or puwede ba cash na lang". tell them, sorry I did not remember that you gave money for me to buy the things you want. Brutally frank, yes but it will helps them and you in the end. Wag sana nating ubusin naipon natin sa ibang bansa sa isang uwian lang. If those people really care for us, they will be happy that we arrive safe and sound. Nde yung pasalubong lang ang habol kung baga. Turuan sana natin ang ating pamilya at kakilala na maging simple at maging thankful kung anong meron tayo. Besides, not everyone have the same privilege and material things that we have.

3) Crab Mentality: Dapat na nating tigilan ang hilahan ng isa’t isa lalo na at nasa ibang bansa tayo. We should help each other to grow and succeed. Dapat isipin natin ang tagumpay ng 1 Pinoy eh tagumpay ng sambayanan Pilipino.

4) Sa mga may pamilya na iniwan sa Pinas: Dapat isipin natin na nag abroad tayo para maiahon ang ating pamilya sa kahirapan at nde sirain ang pamilya dahil nahomesick ka o namiss mo misis/mister mo kaya ka nag ka affair. Always think of our/your family.

Marami pang iba pero mahaba na ito hehehe..hanggang sa muli..sana nga eh mabago natin ito ng may makita naman tayong liwanag sa gitna ng dilim.

MABUHAY!!!

[Woz]

sa tingin ko wala ng dapat baguhin dito sa Thailand...wala naman pakinabang dito...

Buhayin natin ang thread na ito. It's been a while na hindi na natin na dagdagan and during that time I am sure maraming nadagdag sa mga experiences natin.

Meron akong co-teacher dati, sabi niya, dahil daw di siya happy sa marriage niya. Pero reason ba yun para humanap ng iba? Yung husband niya, walang kaalam-alam na may problema sila. Gusto pa ngang sumama dito para tulungan daw asawa niya.

Meron din akong narinig from a friend,na nabuntis yung pinay dala ng labas-labas kasama yung mga puting co-teachers. Hindi daw sadya. Hayun, namroblema dahil may anak tsaka asawa sa Pinas.

Talaga namang mahirap pag malayo ka sa support system mo. Mas may mawawala pag babae ka.Kaya communities like SiamPinoy,makakatulong doon sa mga nalulungkot,o may mga problema at kailangan lang mag-unwind.Join ka lang ng meet up at sumayaw buong gabi, promise, wala na yung worries mo. And what seemed such a big problem before, is no longer so daunting after you've been around friends.

Kayo, bakit kaya nangyayari ang mga ito? Maybe a more important question is, how does one prevent it from happening, para wala nang masaktang pamilya?

[Master J]

Sulutan

[Madam H]

Matagal na rin nating hindi navivisit ang thread na 'to. Dahil marami nang nangyari in between, nag-iba na rin perspective ko on things...

I was about to add so many things here. Pero pumasok sa isip ko na... sino ba naman ako para mangaral ng ibang tao? I think, I would rather examine what I'm doing, especially if it's affecting other people. Then tanungin ko sarili ko, nakakatulong ba ako sa nakakarami, o kahit sa isang tao lang, sa ginagawa ko?

Kung hindi, ba't ko pa ginagawa to? Kung para lamang 'to sa sarili ko, hwag na lang siguro...lalo na kung meron palang masamang epekto sa kapwa ko Pilipino.

Magandang hapon, Siam Pinoy!

English pronunciation and accent....

[Van Helsing]

English pronunciation and accent....

What's wrong with the Pinoy accent, may I ask 

[Madam H]

Siguro yung trait natin, in a general sense, na huwag kumibo kahit hindi pala gusto ang nangyayari, o meron palang pagkakaiba ng opinyon sa kausap natin, sa katrabaho, kasama sa grupo, sa asosasyon, sa proyekto.

Tuloy, hindi napag-uusapan ang mga issues.

Tapos, pagtalikod natin, doon sa ibang tao makikipag-usap. Tuloy, nagkakaroon ng hindi pagkakaintindihan, nag-aaway, at ang pinakamalala, magtatanim ng sama ng loob sa kapwa.

Kung may ayaw ako sa iba, sasabihin ko, at kung bakit. Kung hindi kami pwedeng mag-agree, or "agree to disagree", doon na ako lalayo. Kasi, huwag ipilit kung ayaw talagang magtugma.

[Madam H]

For me, there is NOTHING wrong with the Filipino accent, but with pronunciation, yes, there are problems.

I'm an English language teacher, and in the world of foreign languages, accents don't matter. There are many kinds of English - Indian, Singaporean, American, Australian, British, Filipino. They all sound different, yet they are all English.

What's important is, that you are understood, because the main purpose of language learning is communication, not aesthetics.

For pinoys, we do need to get better at pronouncing words, learning idioms, slangs, coz they will make us better communicators.

But one thing we don't have to strive for, is to sound like an American, a Brit or an Aussie... because we aren't from those countries.

'Just my thoughts...

There is nothing wrong with the Filipino accent... We are here in Thailand, and our customers (the schools and parents) prefer teachers with American or British accent....  If Filipino teachers want to sell their teaching skills in a higher price, at least they should improve their accent... But if the schools are okay, then that's fine.....
