Malumanay In English Novels & Stories

Asked Nieal to Roman. “Manna.” “Ah… Yes. Little girl Manna.” Then he added. “If she wasn’t talk in strange language, I would’ve thought she was ordinary little girl.” “Manna is not a name. It’s the breed. Although they call themselves Manna too.” Roman explained to Nieal. “Oh… She flies too.” “Interesting.” Said Elder Mory. He observed Nieal with eyes full of pure curiosity. Nieal held back and fought the urge to wave the Elder away. He was wondering why all of the sudden the Elder interested in him. Staying still in his seat, Nieal felt seconds like hours. Roman’s voice made his lungs filled with air again.

Yeah right, totally forgot about that! I quickly held my sword, uh what’s a good melee weapon for this? After a few seconds, I shouted, “Hanguin sa sibat!” I said then it turned into a javelin. I pointed at the direction of the Manananggal and threw my javelin at it. Nice! The javelin hit the Manananggal in its head, bullseye! The Manananggal disappeared. I was about to show a sign of relief when Amansinaya spoke, “Now, here’s a whole pack.” Uh-oh.

Red muttered in an anxious tone. "Oh my gosh, kuya (which literally translates to "big brother")! I can assure you that it will be something that ate (sister) enjoys. Who could say no to you, anyway? You look so handsome now, kuya!" Maris said this with a grin on her face. Nevertheless, Manang Fe was quick to correct her, and she quickly learned her lesson "You need to exercise some self-control, child, and watch what you say. Look at yourself in the mirror; your face is so pale that it appears as though you've been dunking it in flour, but your neck is dark."

she says, might as well make some money while she is stuck with him. Manuel looks at her, “good, I’m… happy?” He questions what he just said, he wasn’t use to sharing emotions like that but this girl somehow made him feel good, her smile fluttered his heart. He let his guard down around her, “yes, happy.” He says this time. Watching the road she blushes more, watching the dogs she giggles as they watch the people they drive by. Manuel pets them, “I’ll get them some bones, I’m expecting a friend to come drop off some beef meat in a couple of days.”

girlfriend. At this, I don't have to understand the language to know what they were talking about. I rolled my eyes and slapped his hand away from me. Mang Ando rubbed the back of his neck. "Hindi ba? Paumanhin nagkamali lang. Sige mauna na ako. Rami pang isdang hahabulin. Regards mo nalang ako sa tatay mo. Sana gumaling na sya para makapag inuman naman kami."

Then, the few men behind me started to laugh while one of them spoke to me in broken English, “Hey, I heard that merman like your body.” I was surprised. I quickly smacked away the hand placed on my butt and looked at the man in disdain. He had a strong build and tan skin. The muscles on his arm were large and solid. He also had a full coat of chest hair. In my eyes, he looked as repulsive as a gorilla. I stared at him in disgust before I said, “What did you say? I can’t understand your crappy English.”

Maybe the man does not speak English. She felt pity for him. Foreigners who do not know how to speak English sometimes might get made fun of by locals. And this man does not even have an interpreter with him at all times. He looks like a businessman. It must be hard for him conducting business in the Philippines. “Hey miss! What are you doing here?!” A man shouted at her. Angelique turned and saw a bony man wearing a suit. This must be the man’s assistant. “Sorry. This is not what this looks like. I got in the wrong van. I did not mean to intrude your privacy.”

I admitted. “6 AM? As in six in the morning?” she exclaimed. “Morning, woman. Morning. Do we need to repeat it again?” I tried my best to make my tone irritated and teased her. “You’re improving, man! You spoke a lot of words now!” She laughed. “Did you just call me man?” I emphasized the word “man”. She giggled and raised her hand, forming a “peace sign”. “It's acceptable, isn't it? If you translate the word "lalaki" in english, it says man!” she explained.

I said. "Sir, I don't understand ahm... speak English." He replied, D*mn it! nalimutan ko wala pala ako sa pinas, P*nyet*ng! (I forgot I'm not in the Philippines, mother f*cker!)

Logan was puzzled by this. He could not even tell what language the man spoke. With an awkward smile, he asked, "Can you speak Erevish?" The man tapped his ear and waved his hand to signal that he did not understand Logan. He repeated what he said, "Saya mahu satu pakej tisu mint-rasa." The others around him exchanged looks as well. Nobody understood what the man said. "He wants a packet of mint-scented wet tissues," said Rachel.
