Don’t worry, I’m just fooling you, I already have a girlfriend. If she finds out I’m talking to you like this, she’ll beat me for sure. But wait, where is your boyfriend? Doesn’t he worry that you’re talking to strangers online?
I have a question, have you been out of the Philippines? Maybe you’ve been on vacation somewhere? Too bad! That’s sad to hear, my little kitten! If money is not a problem, where would you like to go first?
I’m 39
Huwag ka mag-alala, niloloko lang kita, may jowa na ako. Pag nalaman niyang kinakausap kita ng ganito, nako, siguradong bubugbugin niya ako. Pero teka, asan na nga pala boyfriend mo? Hindi ba siya nag-aalala na nakikipag-usap ka sa mga hindi mo kilala online?
May tanong ako, nakakalabas ka na ba ng Pilipinas? Baka nagbakasyon ka na kung saan? Sayang naman! Nakakalungkot naman pakinggan ‘yan, munting kuting ko! Kung walang problema sa pera, saan mo gustong pumunta una?
Ako ay tatlumpu’t siyam na.

Do you have any tips or advice on how I can learn a language faster?
Let me think, I started learning Tagalog in December 2023, but honestly, I didn’t spend much time on it, I focused more on learning Chinese. We can talk in Chinese if you want! Do you speak Mandarin by any chance?

May tips ka ba o payo kung paano ako matututo ng wika nang mas mabilis?
Hayaan mo akong mag-isip, nag-umpisa ako matuto ng Tagalog noong Disyembre dalawampu’t dalawampu’t tatlo, pero sa totoo lang, hindi ako masyadong naglaan ng oras dito, mas pinagtuunan ko ng pansin ang pag-aaral ng Intsik.

You’re welcome! I think you’re so smart that you deserve the compliment!
Thanks for the compliment, but I’m not that smart. I often forget a lot of things but I just work really hard to achieve my goals! Do you know what I mean?
Luckily I don’t have any children, just a girlfriend and a very charming little dog, who doesn’t bark. The dog, like a cat, her name is Olive, she sleeps all day.
Why are you so intelligent ?
Walang anuman! Sa tingin ko, napakatalino mo kaya karapat-dapat ka sa papuri! Salamat sa papuri, pero hindi naman ako ganun katalino. Madalas akong nakakalimutan ng maraming bagay pero masipag lang talaga ako para maabot ang mga layunin ko! Alam mo ibig kong sabihin?

Bro, they say Tagalog is supposedly the easiest language in Asia, but I disagree. For me, Indonesian is easier. Tagalog is harder because its verbs are confusing —it’s confusing and takes time to get used to. Do you understand?
I’m not sure, to be honest, I recently ate some delicious Pinoy fried chicken at Jollibee, do you know Jollybee? It’s so delicious, right? But I don’t think I’ve ever been to a Pinoy restaurant before.
Kuya, sabi nila, Tagalog daw ang pinakamadaling wika sa Asya, pero hindi ako sang-ayon. Para sa akin, mas madali ang wika ng Indonesia. Mas mahirap ang Tagalog kasi magulo ang mga pandiwa nito—nakalilito at kailangan ng panahon para masanay. Naiintindihan mo ba?
Hindi ako sigurado, totoo lang, kamakailan lang kumain ako ng masarap na Pinoy fried chicken sa Jollibee, kilala mo ba si Jollybee? Sobrang sarap diba? Pero sa tingin ko, hindi pa ako nakapunta sa isang restawran ng Pinoy dati.
