... Bakit nga naman may ibang Pilipino, ayaw na ayaw mag-Tagalog.
Para bang kinakahiya nilang gamitin ang sarili nilang wika. Samantalang, pumunta ka sa ibang bansa, at makikita mo na proud silang gamitin ang sarili nilang linggo. Dito sa Maynila, masmarami gugustuhin nilang magsalita sa Ingles kesa sa Tagalog.
Ako isa na ako dun, pero dahil minsan I feel that I can express myself more using English, (Cut me some slack, I wasn't able to apply the language for 6 years...) it's a shame and it's a sad thing for me but I try! Anyway...
May iba, kaya lang ayaw mag-Tagalog, kasi nagpapaka-sosyal. Gamit Taglish! Grrr... Ayaw na ayaw kong makakarinig ng ganito!Ang labo! Masnakakahiya kaya kung ganito ang gamit na salita. Kung hindi mo kayang magsalita ng tuwid at derecho na Ingles, mag-tagalog ka na lang kasi. Hmph!

... Isa sa mga binabasa ko ay ang libro ni Bob Ong: Stainless Longganisa. Kakatawa! Such a contrast to the other book that I'm reading: The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova! I've been reading this book for the longest time now... It's about vampires. I think I never really got over my I-wanna-be-a-vampire stage from the time of my devouring Anne Rice's novels... Anyway... Then I just heard a localized version of System of Down's Chopsuey in Tagalog!!! I can't remember who sang the song but it's pretty good! Hilarious - but really good! :-)

... I hope the weather changes soon. I really do NOT like this weather...
