I think this one should have its own thread.  Espeicially since I have read some stories of Inday that aren't in here and which you could probably add to this.  I would like to think that the story of Inday highlights how superior Visayan facility for the English language is over that of any other region. hehehe

The True Story of Inday

STORY:
Dahil sa tindi ng kahirapan sa probinsya, namasukan si Inday bilang katulong sa Maynila. Habang ini-interview ng amo…
Amo: Kelangan namin ng katulong para mag-ayos ng bahay, magluto, maglaba, magplantsa, mamalengke, at magbantay ng mga bata. Kaya mo ba ang lahat ng ito?
Inday: I believe that my trained skills and expertise in management with the use of standard tools, and my discipline and experience will contribute significantly to the value of the work that you want. My creativity, productivity and work-efficiency and the high quality of outcomes I can offer will boost the work progress.
Amo: [nosebleed]

Amo: Inday, bumili ka nga ng isda sa palengke.  Ay, Inglesera ka pala… would you please buy many fishes from the market for this week’s meals?
Inday: Judging by your statement, I believe you meant a variety of fish.  The term “fishes,” although rarely used, connotes a plethora of different kinds of the said gilled aquatic creatures.  But the more pressing questions before I proceed to the wet market would be: What type of fish?  Fillet or not?  Frozen or fresh?  (pauses)  Ah…given the meager budget afforded by this household’s quasi-peasant class taste, I assume that I shall be sourcing out the staple “ga-lewng-gung?”  Am I correct?
Amo: Ah, leche!  (sabay nosebleed)

Habang nagluluto si Inday ng hapunan, malikot si junior.
Inday: Stop your raucous behavior. It is bound to result in property damage and if that happens there will be corresponding punishment to be inflicted upon you!
Junior: [takbo sa CR, pinunasan ang nagdudugong ilong]

Pagkatapos magluto, nanood na ng TV si Inday. Nabalitaan nya ng umalis si Angel Locsin sa GMA 7.
Junior: Bakit kaya sya umalis?
Inday: Sometimes, people choose to leave not because of selfish reasons but because they just know that things will get worse if they'll stay. Leaving can be a tough act, and it's harder when people can't understand you for doing so.
Junior: [tuloy ang pagdugo ng ilong]

Nung gabing yon, me nag text ke Inday. Si Dodong, ang driver ng kapitbahay, gusto maki pag text-mate.
Inday: To forestall further hopes of acquaintance, here is my unfathomable statement with regard to your request - Petition denied.

Di nagla-on, dahil sa tyaga ni Dodong, naging syota nya rin si Inday. Pero di tumagal ang kanilang relasyon, at nakipag-break si Inday ke Dodong.

Inday: The statute restricts me to love you but you have the provocations. The way you smile is the proximate cause why I love you. We have some rules to think of. We have no vested rights to love each other because the upper household dismissed my petition!

Dodong: Perhaps you are mistaken.  The sentiments from which you seem to contrive any indication of my affection for you are, in truth, somewhat half-hearted. I was merely attempting to expand my network of interests by involving you in my daily recreation. Heretofore, you can expect an end to any verbal articulation from myself.

Me dumaan na mamang basurero at narinig ang usapan ni Inday at Dodong.

Basurero (sabi ke Inday): Be careful in letting go of the things you think are insignificant because maybe someday you'll realize that the one you gave away is the very thing you've been wishing for to stay.
Narinig ang lahat ng eto ng amo ni inday.
Amo: [nagpakamatay]
