Don't English me, I'm bleeding!

“Inglesera!”

This is the common word I always hear from my friends every time they are able to find my stuff. (I mean letters) Yow! What the?! And when I was on the bus this afternoon, I became bother and think, am I like that?? I never wanted to have this glow that I’m trying to portray something that I am not, and hearing those things and pondered about it made me feel unsettle that maybe saying those things time and again is their way to say that I am acting the way I should not be. And when I came home, and have the time to browse the drives and old notebooks, those letters composed from the idle moments, made me realized, hell.. I am! Haha! I am an Inglesera! =D

I love writing (certainly), but using English as my primary medium doesn’t mean I’m trying to make myself above anyone. Yes I’m a critic, but it also doesn’t mean that I’m the best.  Being a commentator is my way to say that “hey, there something for you to correct”. I can say that lot of times I’m able to find my faults in constructing my symbol, but still it doesn’t stop me for being faultfinder.  It’s just that, I’m a learner, and up to now I know that I am in the interminable line to know more about the means. That’s why I want everyone to find their lapse especially if they are motivated to use the language. For the better. For their sake. Cause I know we are all in the race for learning more.

Now, I am a self-proclaimed “inglesera” but to make things clearer its not my way to create this impression that I am better than someone else, im just a learner! And im on practice. =)

Ingelesera! churva mo! hahaha! being ingelesera doesn't prove that you are the best or something, its just a matter of how people can relate of what you're "englishing" for :) understanding.
