Married to a Filipina and at times have a hard time understanding the message they are trying to get across? Then this is for you. Here we answer the question, "Is There a Secret Code? Deciphering Those Hidden Meanings behind Filipino Expressions."
Were you ever presented with a Filipino expression and asked yourself, just "what is he or she telling me? What are they trying to say?" If so, this may hold the answers you were looking for. :-)))
Before Chat Acronyms & Text Message Shorthand became so familiar words and expressions were used. Many of them we can still relate to today... :-))) I know that I can.
The other day I shared this list with my wife Lucy. She said that she agrees with at least 95 percent of these. How about you?
