I'm lovin' the Cebuano dialect... is it called
bisaya? ..i'm really not sure.. but i've learned a few..
Maayong hapon...

Gwapa ka.
Magsuroy-suroy... (thank you, GT..)
Dili..
Ambot!
Ok, I still suck at it.

I wonder why we have stereotyped the Visayans as housemaids or house boys.. you've probably seen thousands of sitcoms with househelp characters speaking in bisaya.. when these south people are actually beautiful men and women - led by their governor, gwen garcia, who is as graceful as a swan - aside from being intelligent and smart.

I thought it was funny that when you see a beautiful lady in Cebu and you hear her speak in English, you'd think "oh she speaks well, and she has that accent".. wait a few minutes, wait til she speaks to her fellow bisaya.. she still has that accent.
are englishmen bisayas too? :)

I'll be back, Cebu!
