my ofc is re-launching the JEP campaign. JEP... as in Just English Please... and it's driving everybody nuts.
don't get me wrong, i love the english language. i do believe im more creative and expressive in english than in the vernacular. but to speak the language for 9hrs???
AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
to date, i've heard of two versions of the JEP acronym... one is Jast Espek Pelepeno and the other one is Just Espanyol Por pavor (did i even spell that right???) and i should say that people (including yours truly) have become more speechless because of the campaign... imagine, speaking in English on carpeted areas...meaning, everywhere except for the bathroom and the
pantry.
oh well, i guess we'll get over the shock eventually and hopefully get used to it in the process. (wish!)

dude, u get used to it. hehe. but then, i'm surrounded by americans and fil-ams that can't speak tagalog. i swear, i start stuttering sometimes or just start talking in tagalog randomly to my co-workers. u can't believe how starved i am to talk to someone in tagalog.
