Ellen Adarna on begging for someone: Unsa ka, iro?
Begging for someone to stay or choose you does not really go well with you knowing your self-worth.
That’s why celebrity mom Ellen Adarna-Ramsay reminded one of her followers why one should not beg.
Ellen’s followers always look forward when Ellen entertains questions from her followers on her Instagram account.
This time, one of her followers asked this,“Te ‘Len, okay ra ba nga mo beg ka’s tao nga mix signal sa imo?” (Is it okay to beg someone who’s showing mixed signals to you?)
Ellen then proceeded and answered the question the Ellen way— no filter.
“Na ka paet! Unsa man ka dai, iro nga manglimos or beggar? If you identify (yourself) as (a) dog, pwede ra tingali or a beggar,” said Ellen.
