The Ten Conyomandments

Got this from teddy’s multiply. Though it might be a funny entry for others, it’s a reality. Lasallians are commonly mistaken for being mayabang na mayaman. (That’s not true!!! Take it from a Lasallian, we’re just proud of our school and we’re rather confident than mayabang.) Worse, some are being irritated by the way we speak. (Don’t get me wrong cause the Katipunan based people do too). But in reality the conyo way of speaking is just part of the Lasallian culture. Though we don’t really notice it, we spoke it like our mother tounge. But don’t be mistaken, not all Lasallians speak the conyo way.

So here it goes, for the Taft and Katipunan guys and gals. The Ten Conyomandments…Enjoy!!!

8. Make yourself feel so galing by translating the last word of your sentence, you know, pangungusap?
