Filipino Month

i can't sleeeeeep...

errr... ok i just typed down an uber long entry just now, but also just now, i deleted it (all 5 paragraphs) because i dont think it's relevant to anything. wla lang.

let me just do this entry with the highlight of my day: me and pia celebrated the buwan ng wika a month ahead. wala bangag eh. we were conversing in complete filipino sentences, and we sounded really poetic... like the balagtasan. complete with the accents.

come to think of it, filipino is a very rich language. it's actually good to hear if used properly (kris aguino is at fault of ruining the proper filipino syntax, and she's so influential... tsk) filipino is actually a very respectful language. it's melismatic at best, complete with flourishes and rich sounds... ive been informed recently that the language actually has the most complete alphabet in terms of phonology- meaning - all the basic sounds are contained. so filipino is actually a phonologically complete body of words... cool right?

this also explains why it is very easy for us to adapt a second language (e.g., english) or even a third and fourth language (spanish then french...). we are at advantage compared to the chines or japanese, whose buccal phonological structures restricts them from producing the wide array of sounds we can produce. and aside from that, we filipinos, in general, are just so good at imitating others, so most of us filipinos are multilingual.

uhh... yeah. so filipino is a good language. everyone should study it well yes.

this is so unaimed.
