MMMiii!

Filipinos have a funny way of saying “comfortable.” They say it as com-FOR-ta-bol.

I remember when I was still teaching Koreans English through the phone. One of the teachers instructors who was supposedly amazing kept saying “com-FOR-ta-bol” and I’d keep laughing at her secretly.

Am I mean?

Filipinos have this tendency not to say what they want directly to a person so they could remain in each person’s comfort zone. We avoid confrontation. So what do we do instead? We talk behind each other’s backs. Which isn’t really a good thing.

However, I am guilty of that. I talk about my co-trainees behind my back. Itsure makes me feel guilty and evil, but I can still sleep at night, so it’s all good. *insert evil laughter here*

Now, speaking of sleeping, I saw this cool site for the memory foam mattress. I WANT ONE! It looks really comfortable.
