Regional Dialect: Waray-Waray

On By MarmelismsIn Blog Roll, Ramblings4 Comments

I miss speaking in Waray-Waray. And because of that, I shall write in Waray.

Maiha na ako waray maka istorya hin waray-waray. Tapos kun na uli man ako ha amon, diri man liwat ako nakakayakan kay diri naman ako hi-ara. Kun nagawas ako, nag tatagalog na la ako.

Pero may ada mga oras na nakakag-waray ako. Labi na kun may ada ako gusto ig siring pero diri ko nasisiring. Nag wawaray na la ako. Kun waray man makasabot it akong gin yakan, okay la ha akon basta na siring ko la.

Amo yana it akon gin hihimo. Daw kadamo it akon gusto ig siring pero dili ako sigurado kun angay ig siring nga makaka brao it mga tawo.

Sige daw…

May ada ako sangkay nga diri ko na gud sangkay yana. Daw gin traydor niya ako pati ang amon ia nga sangkay. Bangin liwat waray la ha iya huna huna kay riko man hiya. So diri hiya nakakasabot kun ano it among gin aagi-an. Sayang lang kay maiha na liwat kami nga sangkay.

…

Pira na ka bulan na waray ako tumawag hit akong iroy. Daw waray na ngani ako iroy. Waray amay, waray iroy. Upat kami na mag burogto pero daw tolo naman lan kami yana. Ambot la it usa kun bugto pa it iya pagkita ha akon.

Makuri man ngayo-an mag surat hin winaray. Waray na ako iba na masurat kay gin kukuri-an ako mag huna-huna hin waray. English la gihapon it akong huna huna. Kulang la ada ako hin praktis.

 

 

Do you want to keep your job?

*I wanted to send this email out for a company I worked for.*

That subject line is part of the sales process AIDA. It might be mean but it  got your attention.

But I wasn’t kidding when I wrote “DO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB”…

Are you keeping more than one job and you do it simultaneously?

Are you unproductive?

Are you lazy?

Are you okay with just receiving pay and not actually earning it?

Do you consider yourself a smart-ass coz you can fool the system?

If you answered a YES to even just one of the questions above, then I would say that your answer to the very first question is a big NO.

But, if you DO WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB, then there’s just one advice I can give you: DELIVER WHAT IS EXPECTED FROM YOU.

So you’re doing telemarketing for the same client for 3 months now and suddenly your client pulls the plug and would want to have a replacement.

Then you  complain and complain coz your client is blah blah blah blah. Ask yourself, what’s your conversion like? Did you actually call the list? Or did you just dial the number then hang up (just so the number appears in Skype Manager).

Client is unhappy because you keep missing your deadlines. And when pressed for the task, you give your reasons (also known as excuses). Client unhappy. Client has been waiting for SEVERAL WEEKS. And you’ve been paid for those hours for the past SEVERAL WEEKS. Client pulls out.

Pissed at me? Good. Coz it means that I’ve hit a nerve.

I want to keep my job. How do I continue to keep my job? By making sure that this business is actually making profits. This is not a charity. This is WORK.

So DO YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR JOB? Then DO YOUR JOB.

This service announcement is brought to you by employees who would want to keep their jobs.

Thomas Jane is back! But only for this. They call the short movie ‘Dirty Laundry’ but you can see The Punisher written all over! Warning, it gets VERY VIOLENT.
