tintin. t-i-n ... t-i-n. tintin!

may kwento ako...

dito sa bahrain, madaming weird names, kasi iba't ibang lahi syempre no. me sri lankan na kariyawasam, me indian na kandotharammal, me ethiopian na woldegeorgis, me kaworkmate si bambi na baarstard (norwegian)...

anyways, ako nga ang bida ng kwento di ba, so balik na tayo sa pangalan ko, na as in hirap na hirap naman talaga ako iexplain pag me kausap ako sa phone.

tulad ngayong hapon:

me: hello, may i talk to the shipping department?
them: yes, may i know who's speaking?
me: tintin, from --- company.
them: who?
me: tintin. t-i-n-t-i-n
them: dindin? 
me: no, t-i-n... tintin
them: dinky? that's a nice name!
me: yes, sure...

pag malinaw naman ang linya...

me: tintin, t-i-n-t-i-n!
them: cindy? ok, hold on...
me: ...

meron pa:

me: this is tintin on the line.
them: pinky?
me: no, tintin. T-I-N-T-I-N!
them: pintin?
me: tintin! 
them: tinty?
me: ok, kristinne, tell them it's kristinne!



eto ang pinakapaborito ko... tumawag ako sa office nila francis, at take note, hindi sya christmas time.

me: hello, goodafternoon, may i speak to francis please?
customer service: sure, may i know who's calling?
me: please tell him its his wife.
cs: santa? ok, hold on...

lol.

(*true stories*)
