Funny Conversations

English is a universal language, and although there are existing grammatical rules; the language is still modified depending on which culture English is used. I'm no nazi when it comes to grammar, and I embrace the fact that people have the right to express however and whatever they feel in the closest words they can think of.

I found this very interesting article on Filipino language, and it got me into thinking WHAT IF the national language was Bisaya and not Tagalog? Would Tagalog's status in the country be like what the status of the Bisaya? Well, I can never know that but it's really interesting to ponder on  these thoughts.


The author of this article by the way is one of the professors in my university who I often see in the student cafeteria. He writes for the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Determined

I am determined to make things right for me. As he have said, "I'll get filthy rich..." So would I. I'll do everything in my ability to learn and use my knowledge to my advantage. Things will only be right for me if I fight for it. The most important thing for me right now is to fulfill my plan which is - learning the three most difficult languages in the world which are Korean, Chinese, and Japanese. I am now starting with Korean and I have already started with a little Chinese. It's not really going to be easy for me but I am determined to take on this challenge. I know I can do this and once I do then the world is going to be under my hands. I'll conquer myself.

Eight years ago, I posted this entry which in my best effort tried to express:

Today I watched the film "Babo".
My head hurts, there are many homework to do but I don't wanna do them.
Now that I listen to the music of Alanis Morisette, I feel better.

Now looking back at the way I wrote my hanggeul, I realized that it didn't really make any sense. Well, at least I tried.
