One of things I miss most about working in Manila is that back home, I can respond to questions with:
Abama. (Aba, malay ko.)
Or respond to good news with:
Ang saya saya!
If the news is really good I exclaim:
Ang ganda! Para kang nagpa-salon! (Actually, no, I don't really say this. But if I wanted too, I could.)
Instead here, if I don't know the answer to something I say:
I'm not too familiar with the facts on that one. Let me double check and get back to you.
If I get good news I say:
That's great.
And if news is very good:
That's really great.
As you can imagine, Ricky Reyes and I are not the happiest of campers.
