Ok. Here's the continuation. This time, I'm gonna spill the beans. I don't fucking care if she sees this post. She already knows why I don't like her.
Anyway, this is what happened: (Let's just call her Florita. Why? I have my reasons)
THE FIRST DAY:Student A: Patingin naman ng description mo sa yearbook.
Student B: Ok.
Student A: Sino pinasulat mo?
Student B: Si Florita.
(I glanced at the paper and saw a few grammatical errors)
Me: Uy, may mali yan o.
Student B: O? Paki-edit nga.
Me: Ok.
(after a while)
Florita: Uy Elaine, ok ba? (She looked as if I'm gonna be impressed by her writing, but NO)
Me: Umm... May mga correction sa grammar eh.
Florita: OH!? (looking incredulous)
Me: (looking uncomfortable) Oo.
Florita: Ano ang mali diyan?! (demanding voice)
Me: Basta. I-eedit ko na lang 'pag nasakin na lahat ng papers. (I'm the English editor of the Yearbook)
(I stood up to leave and passed by her chair)
Florita: Oi ano nga yung mali???!?!? (demanding voice; rolling her eyes)
Me: Basta. Ako na lang mag-eedit.
Florita: ANO NGA ANG MALI!?!? (she's trying to provoke me, but I ignored her. Para bang dine-dare niya ako.)
***I was a bit annoyed at that time, but I just let it pass.***
THE SECOND DAY:Student A: Uy, pagawa naman ng description sa yearbook.
Florita: Ok.
(after a while, natapos na yung description. napatingin ako and I found some grammatical errors again pero 'di na lang ako masyadong nagsalita)
Student B: May description ka na? Patingin naman o.
Florita: Uy, gagawan din kita!
Student B: Yay!
(this time, andami ko talagang nakitang grammatical errors. i can't help it pero 'di ako napapakali if i see bad grammar. I dunno why)
Me: Uy, mali 'to ah!
Me: Eto rin o!
Krystel: Si Florita talaga o! Oy Florita, mali mali naman 'to oh!
Florita: ANO!?! Ano ang mali diyan!?
Me: (feeling kinda embarassed) Ehh, basta.
Student B: Oh may mali ba?! Elaine, ikaw na lang mag-ayos tapos dagdagan mo na rin.
Me: Um ok. (kahit medyo ayaw ko)
(after I finished editing)
Student B: Salamat ah!
Me: =)
(Florita looked at the newly edited paper of Student B)
Florita: Uy kahit 'di formal yung pagkasulat ok lang naman ah!
Me: E kahit "di formal" yan, mali mali pa rin eh!
Florita: Bakit mo iniba-iba?!
Me: E mali nga talaga kahit hindi formal!
(I left the classroom)
Here's the deal: 'Di ako masyadong nagmamarunong pagdating sa ibang bagay pero pagdating sa grammar,
I KNOW if I see wrong grammar. It's just natural for me to detect it. Like I said, I don't know why, but that's a different story.
The English language has been a part of me ever since I was young. Long story short. Anyway, the thing with Florita is that,
she's so full of herself!
Bakit ba siya nag-vovolunteer na magsulat ng mga description ng ibang tao? Ano yun, para makayabang? Para mapuri siya ng ibang tao? As if naman no. Ang hangin niya talaga. I won't critic her writing. Basta sakin na lang iyon. I don't want to hurt her feelings even more. Basta ang issue dito is that she feels like she's more superior than me. She even provoked me, di ba? Di-nare pa niya ako. Good thing I'm too annoyed with her to even notice her. Tsk tsk.
Oh, by the way, do you remember this line, "Uy kahit 'di formal yung pagkasulat ok lang naman ah!" SUS. Between me and her,
AKO ang reyna ng INFORMAL writing. 'Di ako nagmamayabang ah. I know my strengths and weaknesses, and informal writing is my strength. Ako pa ang sinabihan niya ng ganun ah! Oh gawd.
She needs to know her "opponent" more before she says shit.
This incident was like the umpteenth time I've been annoyed with her. Pero once na she really MESSES with me, let's see what I'll come up with.
