    Whenever I heard them, I felt like I’m developing myself with misophonia, and this is me tuning up white noise for meditation or whenever I’m bored.

    Di lang ito limited sa YT o socmed shorts/content, pati na rin sa local TV, especially GMA.

      And radio.

      Have to remind myself that one’s irritant maybe another person’s sense (and quality level) of humor.

        Yeah, and due to how prevalent (or my perception of it being prevalent) it is in stuff aimed towards Filipinos, I have this feeling that my own sensibilities are just not in tune with the rest of the country’s.

          This is soo me. Most of the time, I read articles from AP News (or global news), or whatever marereceive ko sa email (from Inquirer o sa Viber notifications), and watch film/pop culture analysis videos from overseas. Recently I accidentally sent an email to my ex-friend. She replied “English yarn!!” I asked, “anong yarn?” Damn… and I’m 25.

            Hahahaha!‌ Ouch!

            But yeah, it really depends on the (online or IRL) company we keep eh.

            I think I’m not as bad when it comes to colloquial Filipino and its slang terms, but had I not been with people in touch with those things, I might as well be a foreigner with Filipino blood, who lived all my life in here the Philippines.
