Salamat sa Dream FM!

at ngayon po salamat din madami na madami po sa ProjectManila.com! Sa sulat niyo na blog madami kayo tulong sa Yabang Pinoy and this project.

Thank you so much for being so supportive. It warms the heart.

Go Filipino! Galing niyo. Salamat!

Ako ay na tingin ng email ko at ako ay nagkaroon ng gulat kasi may receive akong email from DREAM FM.

They heard about my blog and Yabang Pinoy’s experiment and they pledged their help in spreading the word.

I am beyond grateful.

Dream FM, salamat ng buong puso.

Remember my salitampok?

Last week, ang assignment akin ay gamit ang salitang “gantimpala” sa sentences. Sorry if bagal ko pero ito na yung mga sagot ko.  Finally, I know!

1. Ano, Maan,  gantimpala mo sakin kung natapos ko ang takdang-aralin nayong hapon?

2. Dapat ibigay na MMDA ng gantimpala para pinakapangit na project: Metro Gwapo.

3. Yung pinaka magandang gantimpala ay yung pinag hihirapan.

Tapos! Done! Fin!

Tama ba?

What do you guys think?

Pasa o bagsak?

Subok gawa ng Facebook status updates sa Tagalog and I was super surprised when I received a barrage of comments from so many people. Dami sobra nag-gulat na nag-Tagalog ako. Some were making fun of my barok statements. But most of them were very supportive kaya salamat ako sa pagtama niyo nung malimali  na pangungusap.

Unang pagsubok ko  slightly na sablay.

But, sinubok ko ulit.

Then next, ang tingin ko sa Metro Gwapo project na gawa MMDA.

At lagot ako na dahil di ko pa nigagawa yung assignment ko and it’s been so long. Peace, Maan!

Well, some need improvement I know kaya salamat ulit sa support kahit na mali mali ako!

Balik muna ko trabaho at maggagawa muna ako ng assignment.

Till next time bros!

This video is a hamon sa aking manhood.

Tanggap ko ang Youtube clip dito from officemate ko sa opisina, and hindi ko man tanggap but it made my Tagalog look even mas bulok pa than before.  I got affected sa sabi niya around the 2:06 mark.

That adorable little girl is Julia, at she taught ang importanteng lesson so far. Kung kaya ng Ukrainian na pre-school age mag-Tagalog, dapat mag-master din ako sariling wika ko. I wonder kung pwede kami meet or mag-usap man lang. It could be fun.

What do you guys think,  galing ba ako  mag-Tagalog someday like si Julia?

Nagparty ang office namin and the following day I was so hungover.

Pero tignan niyo lahat! May natuto pa din ako despite my headache. High fives all around!

Hah!

Happy weekend sa inyo lahat!

Confession: Simula the title of the 2nd episode ako ay nag super confused na.
Because apparently, aside from the Tagalog term pangalan there’s also another word tawag nila ay paNGNGalan.

They seem like they’re one and the same. I mean, they even sound a like. The only difference, is yung extra -NG yung second one. So being a responsible student, I did my own research and instead of finding enlightenment, mas lalo akong nagpahilo.
I was literally sweating bullets trying to understand the complicated terms but next time ko na ipoproblema yung mga uri, kasarian at pantangi at pambalana na pangngalan or else baka yung ulo ko mag putok.

Ang importante, gets ko na yung basic difference nila. I tried to sum it up para it’s easier for me to remember. And here’s my humble conclusion:

Pangalan = NAME

Pangngalan = NOUN

Tama right? Till next episode dudes.

Handa ako para sa shooting na ito. Basa ko yung diksyonaryo na bigay nila. Pero yung pag bigay ko ng effort seems to never be enough! I was a bit frustrated with this episode. Alam ko sa loob ko na madali na madali ito. I was so sure I’d ace it. But hey, maybe you guys out there can just give me an A for effort. Nagsubok naman ako so dapat may kwenta yun sa inyong pag-grade. Right? Right?

Besides who can concentrate when my tutor looks like a hoodlum? Peace tayo Miciano.
