I have a friend who has a hard time pronouncing the letter R. If you guys remember Dranreb Belleza, my friend is a lot worse than him. It's not just the hard, vibrating R that my friend can't pronounce. When you listen close enough, you will find out that it is as if he replaces his R's with the letter W.

Here's how a typical conversation with him goes.

Me: Tine-text ka namin kagabi, di ka naman sumasagot.

Friend: Sowi pawe, late na ko nakauwi galing Gweenhills eh. Pull out kasi kagabi, dami twabaho. Kaya di na ko naka-weply.

M: So kelan ka na manlilibre?

F: Anong libwe?

M: Treat mo dahil birthday mo.

F: Siwaulo ka pala eh! Anong tweat sinasabi mo?

M: Lagot ka sa mga girls pag nakita ka. Di ka man lang daw nagparamdam nung birthday mo.

F: Yawe na naman ako nito!

M: Anniversary ng T-bar next week. Dun ka na lang magpainom.

F: Ahh.. anniversawy ba next week? Sige twy ko.

M: Sige, tutal may utang ka pa sa amin, aliwin mo na lang muna kami. Try saying this na sunod-sunod: 'Idol ko si Ren-Ren Ritualo at si Ravishing Rick Rude.'

F: Tawantado!
