I was expecting to speak English most of the time in Sweden but then I understood so much Swedish that it was not necessary to. My husband’s danish aunt is here with us right now, and I am starting to get the hang of the danish language. Normally, I need an interpreter to talk to her but now, we can communicate very well (no interpreters needed. Hahaha!). This household is pretty international — I speak to the kids in English and to my husband and some filipino, I get calls from filipino friends, I speak norwegian to my parents-in-law and to everyone else, I listen to danish, I have lithuanian carpenters, I will be having my aunts next week and they speak english and zambal (a filipino dialect) to me. Now you know why my brain gets pretty messed up. I guess you are confused about me too.
One of the most regular figure on my blog is Charles, an 19 year old filipino living in Bergen. He is my IT support for this blogsite. He is the guy who helps me out with my template (which I appreciate very much). He has a very interesting and entertaining blog which I enjoy very much. His honesty about everything he goes through makes it more interesting. No wonder he has a lot of readers π For those of you who has not visited “Bend it Like A Banana, ” check it out and see what I mean.

Joey, salamat naman naalala mo pa ako! I
got excited when Boying told me about the e-group. It is really nice to get re-aquainted with college pals. I hope we would get the chance to have a mini-reunion.
Sari2, oo nga, I feel like a freak sometimes talking in 3 languages in one sentence! But that is how it is when the mind is confused. Hehe.
wow it is still winter in norway! i had to laugh when you mentioned about the different languages…i have the same problem now, i tend to mix up different languages in one sentence. even if i want to say something in english, it is just weird that i blurt out something in dutch. however,it is always an asset to learn a language.
Hi Anna, of course I remember you. IΒ΄ve just moved to Germany and now staying in a temporary apartment, will write more when IΒ΄ve sorted things out… take care!
Joey

Hei Talamasca,
Charles is just 19. He is very young…:) Thanks!!
As always, the photos are so good!
Wait. Charles is just 19? I thought he turned 24 or something? Anyway, yeah, his blog is indeed an eye-candy. Very talented web designer. π
Laureen, naku ako ay sobrang confused dito sa bahay kaya gaya ni neng, baluktot din ako magsalita π
Neng, kahit yung pilipino ko, baluktot din π¦

Hei mmy-lei!!! Thanks for dropping by… I know a lot of people who are allergic to weddings too π
I know how it is to lose a father. I hope that you are feeling much better…
Hei Ethel, hindi linguistic — confused! HEHE. Padalhan mo ko ng warmer temperature! Maginaw pa rin dito π
Sidney, I try my best to integrate myself here. π I am sure you are doing the same in the Philippines.
hmmm, wedding… got some allergy on that…
OFFTOPIC:
Thanks for extending your sympathy towards my father’s demise thru NENG.
God Bless
So, you are a polyglot! I think it is important to speak the language of the country where you live! It helps you to communicate and integrate in a foreign country!
Charles has indeed a colorful blog ! π

But actually this is just a temporary template since this is not my own custom. I will make one for you ate ann when I am done with all this work and stuff

Hei Charles, it can be quite confusing for me sometimes too π even if I understand them.
Renny, it is quite difficult for me at first but I am getting the hang of scandinavian languages. And yes, I am glad Charles found me.
Patrice , thanks to charles π
