i am busy...

"are you busy?" or "busy ka ba?"...

in pinas...

"hay, tinatanong pa ba yan?"... (nagtatanong lang po)
"super, d na ko natutulog"... (kawawa ka naman)
"e sino ba hindi busy?!, ang kapal naman nya"... (ay, ang taray)
"d pa nga ko umuuwi eh"... (so di ka pa naliligo)
"magreresign na talaga ko pagkatapos nito"... (ilang beses ka ng nagresign?)

in short, its a mortal sin to say... "no, im not busy"...
and, even if you are "really" not busy, its still a mortal sin to say you are not...
isn't that bizarre?! oh well...

while down under...

"no, just alright"... (hmm, just enough load huh)
"definitely not"... (wow, you are good)
"im available, do you need help"... (you are so nice...)
"its already 5:15, we gotta go, that can wait til tomorrow"... (how good is that)
"its a public holiday, do not work"... (woohhh...)

now, you be the judge, 'mate!
