It’s doesn’t have a specific equivalent in English, but “handaan” (FIL) refers to a gathering where a special event is celebrated by feasting with food. It’s kind of like a party or a banquet. We usually have “handaan” to celebrate birthdays, holiday parties, and such. Plus its also a way to get free food.
Conyo
Filipinos have the tendency to switch from English to Filipino whenever we talk to each other casually. It’s because pure Filipino can be too eloquent, and also because there are plenty of English words that don’t have a direct translation in Filipino. We call it Taglish. Conyo on the other hand, is a different type of Taglish. Unlike Taglish, Conyo follows the English language format of sentence construction, but certain English words are replaced with Filipino words. Conyo can be funny and cringey when you listen to it. Those who speak in Conyo are typically rich Filipino kids who were raised to speak in English, but have limited Filipino vocabulary (although not all of them are like this, though). Here’s an example of a Conyo sentence (It’s funnier when you can understand Filipino.)
It is a sad reality that no one will sundo you in your bahay because you still don’t have a jowa. (It is a sad reality that no one will fetch you in your house because you still don’t have a boyfriend.)
Ah, so it’s kinda like Denglish here (what we call a mix of german (deutsch) and english ) but people don’t really use it here unless they don’t know a word in their English class
Okay po, but why is this the example? I feel bad for the NBSBs
jk!
I think 5’?
I don’t know about my fashion sense, but I’m all about being comfy and stylish (a bit) at the same time. My typical outfit is any pair of pants and any top (except for revealing ones) that contrasts with each other’s colors.
Ink pens. I always go for pens that have a ball point not exceeding 0.5
Yeah. It’s the only one thing I can brag about myself lol
Nope, and I don’t plan on doing it in the future.
No, my mother wouldn’t let me anyway xD
Private.
Patintero
Anything rock!
Rambutan : D

Literature.
Buses, because we get to stop in a city where I can eat my favorite taste of fish soup lol.
Mayonnaise.
Yes, especially with coffee in the morning or at 3 P.M.!
Opening windows is both wholesome and threatening? lol, it’s appropriate… always, but preferably in the mornings.
My mind is blown; I’m speechless. Water bottles are actually plastic bottles—they’re just called that because they contain water and um… water isn’t waterproof, I think, since water is water itself so why would it be immune to itself… uh…
I believe water is not waterproof as it is it is. Um… water?
I don’t really have a certain favorite type of coffee for now, since I have not really ventured through the trues tastes of it because broke, but I’ll always like a coffee type that ranges from espresso to about a cappuccino.
Let’s see… I actually hate a song because of the lyrics or the tune, but one of them is Rain on Me xD
I actually want to be a Forensic Analyst, but I’m heading for Forensic Psychologist now : D
I’m still in school, a to-be Senior High student!
Anything with the genre of Fantasy, Adventure, and Mystery/Thriller. I go for intriguing plots amor descriptions, also something with an atmosphere that is dark.
Romance stories Dx Also stories with predictable/cliché plots, because I feel like I’m reading the same story all over again. Titles also play a big role for me.
When I used to go to my grandma’s house and play with my cousins, then some adults will join us. Ah, good old time :<
I haven’t really thought about that, but maybe… myself? I would say my sister, but she’s sometimes not one to match my mood and thoughts with.
Short and clean, bitten by my strong teeth
It varies according to my mood, but I’m definitely thinking of salted potato chips!
