Maraming lingo na naklilipas ang sumulat ng texto Tagalog.

Maraming linggo na ang nakalipas/nakalilipas mula noong huli akong sumulat (ng textong/tekstong Tagalog) sa Tagalog. = Many weeks have (already) passed since I last wrote (Tagalog text) in Tagalog.

Ang pangalan ko ay Roland, kase ang intsik pangalan ko ay Lulanke.

Ang pangalan ko ay Roland kasi ang pangalang Intsik ko ay Lulanke. = My name is Roland because my Chinese name is Lulanke.

Ang asawa ko ay galit sa akin, kase nagaaral ng wikang intsik
Ang asawa ko ay galit sa akin kasi nag-aaral ako ng (wikang) Intsik. = My wife is mad at me because I am learning Chinese (the Chinese language).

“Bakit ka hindi mag-aral ng wikang Takalog”

“Bakit ka hindi mag-aral ng (wikang) Tagalog?” = “Why not learn Tagalog (the Tagalog language)?” or based on the flow of the story, this can be taken to mean “Why not learn Tagalog instead?”

I failed to correct the title of your entry - ang intsik pangalan ko ay Lulanke. 

"Ang pangalang Intsik ko ay Lulanke" = My Chinese name is Lulanke. 
"Ang pangalan ko sa Intsik ay Lulanke" = My name in Chinese is Lulanke.

"Sa Intsik, ang pangalan ko ay Lulanke" = In Chinese, my name is Lulanke.

"Ang Chinese name ko ay Lulanke" - This is how we might actually say it here.  :-)

Roland, Green is right about the current connotation of the "Intsik" word. However, that will only be true if you are here in the Philippines or talking to a Filipino-Chinese. The word "Tsino" is from the Spanish "Chino", their word for Chinese. ("Tsino" was formed here at the time when we have not yet incorporated the letter "C" into our alphabet. We were then using the "ts" pair for words with the "ch" sound.) Tsino is now our politically-correct way of referring to a Chinese person here. There is also this modern term "Tsinoy" that we use to refer to Chinese-Filipino mestizos. It's a blending of the words "Chino" and "Pinoy" (informal reference to Pilipinos). The use of the word "Intsik" to refer to the Chinese outside the Philippines is still popular here though because that was really our word for Chinese before conforming to political-correctness became the fashion.

I would like to forewarn you that the word Intsik has pejorative connotations among the Fil-Chinese community, especially with the old folks. Though its origin was never derogatory it's best to play it safe. Use the word Tsino instead. :)
