Programming Language: ENGLISH

Tuesday, June 3, 2008

There are lots of Filipinos here in Macau and I find the Filipinos here more friendlier than in Hong Kong… Everywhere you go someone will greet you or ask you: "Pinoy ka?"", then I answered "Oo", then they would say ""Kabayan! Kumusta?"The ususal talk like: "Kailan ka pa dito sa Macau? "Taga san ka sa atin?" Some would just nod and smile when you walk in the streets… "Iba talaga ang Pinoy."

I was in the bus with some of my boardmates then I sat next with this one pinoy guy… We talked… Let’s just call him "B".

B: Hay, ang iingay ng mga intsik noh? grabe sakit sa tenga…
Me: Oo nga eh…
B: Akala mo kung ano na nangyari o nag-aaway sila pero normal lang pala sa kanila ang ganyang usapan.
Me: (Smiling.) Taga san ka pala?
B: Laguna, ikaw?
Me: Ah, i see… Davao ako…
B: Ano course mo?
Me: Computer Engineering, ikaw?
B: Computer Science.
Me: Ah, talaga? So, magaling ka magprogram?
B: Medyo. Two year course lang yun.
Me: Talaga? May ganun ba?
B: Oo, nung mga 1990’s meron pa tpos nun lang naging four years.

Me: Ah ganun bah, so ano-anong mga Language ang alam mo?
B: Language? English.
Me: Programming Language?

B: English. English.

I was silent for a while and was about to laugh out loud but I don’t want to make a scene or something and I don’t want to make him feel that I know he’s lying. Well, somehow, I think he knew it… I know this guy is not a Computer Science graduate neither he’s taking up one because if he is, he should have known atleast one or he would know what a Programming Language is, right? hehehe…

*Ako pa niya wala na lang siya nangatik gud… Wa may mawala cguro kung musulti siya ug tinuod di ba? hehehehe…*
