Anne Curtis - Bulol

 

Ann Curtis is a female version of Ryan Bang. They are both hosts of It's Showtime and it is ironic that both enjoy the best of both worlds (passing the stringent standards of ABS CBN (in hosting) and enjoying the support and love of their fans) 

Despite their inability to talk straight characterized by long pauses ... stuttering and stammering ... (bumbling and stumbling) ... by virtue of their "bulol" one-liners ... netizens are always on the look-out as they elbow each other ... who can dish out the best entertainment meme of the day as they meet dead-ends at deadlines.  

Both are making a name for themselves by making bulol-type hosting ... a sure-fire ingredient to make a balanced battery of hosts. So if Eat Bulaga wonders what makes It's Showtime tick ... they need one host with a speech defect - one that is almost eager to share her idea - but the words get stuck, frozen and glued ... and the idea gets lost in translation. 

When Ann wrote in her account: "Luh. Kumilimlim dito sa QC" ... that was met with friendly and respectful sneers and jeers.  "Ate Ann ... bakit maski sa pagtype bulol ka?"

Like a true trooper ... Ann smiled at the netizen's reaction and dismissed it like a pro.

Can we classify Ann's bungling and bobbling as a SLIP of the tongue or pen?

I don't think so.  From the get-go Ann admits it is hard for her to pronounce or spell Tagalog tongue-twisters (especially yong mga malalim na)... but let her speak in English and she can articulate her thoughts well.  English is her first language ... and Tagalog ... her second. 

Just like Ryan Bang (who is Korean first) ... maintiendihan natin kung ano ang mga gusto nilang sabihin ... hindi man perfect Tagalog ... pero pwede-pasar na. Sila yong mga bulol na cute ... stammering and stuttering ... pero lovable naman.

Slip Of The Tongue

An occasional slip of the tongue ... or a slip of the pen is normal and is quickly forgiven by the person listening or reading... that is ... if they even notice it. Even when they do, most people most of the time will recognize a slip of the tongue or pen for what it is and realize that what you meant to say or write ... is not what you did say or write.

Now hear this: A YouTube vlogger was fuming mad because the Senate hearing has dragged the name of actress Maricel Soriano into the investigation of Malacanang's clandestine use of those "powdery substances". They claimed Maricel would shed light on these illicit activities.

The truth was that Maricel Soriano said to be their anointed whistleblower "ay kapangalan lang pala". Hindi yong DIAMOND STAR na natutunghayan natin sa Linlang.

The vlogger upon knowing this was enraged and indignant. She was frothing in anger as she tries to explain her point "Huwag kayong maniwala sa source ng balita. Pathological liar yan ... as in CONGENISTAL LIAR ..."

Sigi patawarin na natin ... what she meant was CONGENITAL LIAR ...  She was actually livid ... ang taong galit kasi ... kung minsan nabubulol ... sa kagustohang mailabas ang sama ng loob.
