bellatina Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Bonita is completely acceptable when referring to a girl or woman. Bonita = cute, pretty Bella = Beautiful Tu eres bella por dentro y por fuera = You are beautiful inside and out. Link to post Share on other sites

Author Nik2 Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Errol, they basically speak Spanish about 80% of the day and that’s fine with me. I have noting against what they feel comfortable with. For over 2 years it was me, My boss and this Mexican girl and guy and we were all very..very close. This new temp girl started about 3 months ago and everyone likes her but for some reason see likes to play mind games with me. It’s a long story but to make it short this guy took a situation where I was upset because she one day stopped talking to me for about a week and rather then being a friend he went back and told her what I called her to make himself look better. I never wanted her to hear what I said and I was just venting. But even after I said what I said I asked this guy what he would not approach her for me as a friend and ask her what is bothering her. But he diden’t care because he was in the limelight. then he used psychology by acting overly angry toward me to prove to the two girls that he didn’t like me anymore because of what I called this girl. My intentions were never to hurt anyone’s feeling, it was the opposite yet he turned the story around and displayed haltered toward me to show the girls that he was on their side. This dude is a MOTHER-F…UCKER hands down! Again it’s too long to explain in detail but all I ever wanted was to be friends or better yet friendly on a coworker’s level. This girl is a bitch simple as that: I hugged her and made up and we have been talking but she keeps F…cking with me. One min she is overly sweet and calling me over to talk with her but then other times she will give me dirty looks and flat out ignore me like she is trying to make a statement. Look I’m a straight forward dude, you’re either my friend or your not I don’t play these games. So today I walked by her and told her to go play mind games with someone else. My boss heard it and told me in a nice way not to say stuff like that. Sorry but this girl gets in these moody attitudes with me for no reason when all I’ve ever tired to do is help her. Maybe she is being nasty toward me because she feels I rejected her when she use to flirt with me a while back but that is no reason to be cruel. How am I suppose to talk and be nice with someone that is a bitch to me? So now I walk around all day and ignore her and she just laughs out loud with the others and all these so called friends that I’ve done countless favors for still joke around with her and they all have an attitude toward me like I’m an a$$ hole. You have no Idea what I’ve done as far as favors for all these people, I bring food and pies in to work, I’ve fixed both guys computers more then once I’m talking about full install of windows and setting up all the hardware on there PC. I’ve went out and bought this guy who stabled me in the back new games for his computer just to be nice. I’m talking $50. dollar games and I’m not rich. Look, Deep down I know I’m a nice person I don’t deserve this. I’ve told my boss countless times how I feel and they do nothing about it. What makes it hard is that this girl and a**h*** guy do talk to me when its work related so there is not much I can say. Basically they are trying to destroy me with my feelings which employers don’t see from that perspective. One of the girls is being nice still, this is the girl I gave the letter to today. she has a heart so far but I might loose her too unless my letter makes her think that there are two sides to ever story. Sorry but these are low life’s. I know one of the reasons this guy has felt negativity toward me is because I stated the company making as much money as him even though he had been there two years before me. But also understand that I was hired for a different position and had to go to school and get certified to reach this static. Link to post Share on other sites
bellatina Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hermosa also = beautiful I moved to the US at age 19 ... my Spanish is very decent. The funny thing about Spanish is that you have so many different spanish contries represented in the US and we all speak a little different. I am from the caribean ( Dominican Republic) we use the word "guapo" to mean "angry"... Mexicans use it in its true meaning which is "Good Looking" People from Venezuela call good looking people "Cuero" which literaly means SKIN, we Dominicans use "Cuero" to mean Whore. It is tricky ... but after a couple of missundertandings... I am able to communicate with everyone... Link to post Share on other sites

Author Nik2 Posted February 19, 2004 Author Share Posted February 19, 2004 Bellatina, it’s not about people liking me, it’s about lying. Sorry but if someone you work with is saying sarcastic things in Spanish about a white guy and that also goose the other way around. It’s wrong! People by nature like to pray on the weak who can’t defend themselves, I do not respect people like that. Some people forget and walk away leaving their dignity behind. I fight the best I can and the letter that dyermaker translated for me is my weapon against the dark force. By the way I also recall guapo meaning Handsome in Mexican as you said.

bellatina Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 some one advised you to go to your human resources department if this is really a problem for you. be careful with that letter because they can use it against you. I am a counselor and I deal with crime victims (sexual assault mostly). You would be surprise what people report as offensive and report it to the police as herrassment. It may be good for you to talk to human resources or a supervisor. By the way .... yes what they are doing to you is unfair.... but you would not be leaving your dignity behind if you choose the high route. Think before you give the letter.... I don't know the content.... but I just want you to be careful... the written word can be interpreted in any way the reader chooses and since Spanish is not your language ... that letter could be miss interpreted.....Be CAREFUl.. this is work not high school.
