Great article RN. I am working on those aspirations though, Mr. Boston Accent (hubby) is always calling my attention on that, sheesh. (With the way he's going, pretty soon, I'll be speaking like you and other US natives. )

Mrs B. Can You Say "I Have To Go Pack something In The Kitchen"??? LOL.



yes Good Article RN.

P.S. Goes Both Ways Also. Many Many Years Ago When I Was Learning Tagalog. I Was Greeted By Friends Mother For First Time In Tagalog And I Responded With "MY Booty"! LOLOLOL. Thought She Was Gonna Pass Out Laughing.

[This is a ‘Tag-lish’ joke specially dedicated to dcwtech/MIR].

A USC guy married a young and beautiful lady from the Philippines. The guy owned a small business that made enough profit for the couple’s comfortable living and future family.

The couple mutually agreed that the lady didn’t have to work so instead she just stayed as a homemaker. He had a strong fascination with her language that he is doing his best to learn it from his wife.

One day a customer was having a heated argument with the guy’s supervisor. He intervened but the customer didn’t feel him to be on his side so upon leaving the premises said in his face, ‘may you burn in hell, you motherf*#@+er!’ But the customer is always right so after a short talk with his supervisor he just sat the insult out in the confines of his office.

At lunchtime he hurried home to at least find refuge in his wife’s warm embrace and loving kisses. But in one intersection he nearly side-swiped another car and the driver shouted at him, ‘practice driving, you motherf*#@+er!’ The guy thought, it was really a very bad day, hence, it was much better to just cuddle up with his wife and forget about work for the rest of the day.

True enough, indeed, his wife had the table ready with his favorite dishes for lunch as she did regularly every day. But food was never on top of his mind. It was to find a faithful ally after being cussed twice just within the earlier half of that day.

It’s also his wife’s habit to keep the house immaculately clean for his arrival – the yard, the garden, the patio, and everywhere else inside the house. But especially on that day, she applied onto the floor a cleaning formula she had seen on TV that left their floor not only looking clean but clear and slippery like a mirror.

When the man walked in, his wife uttered something that caused his knees to buckle. And down on his knees he said, ‘oh, you too? Do you know that you’re the third person to call me that in just half a day?”

[What did the lady say? She told him, in reference to the floor, “dahan-dahan” (which means ‘you go slowly’ in Tagalog, which the guy already knew the meaning) “madapa ka” (which means ‘you may stumble down’ in Tagalog, which the guy didn’t know the meaning yet.)]

Kalahati ng mundo ay natutulog, at ang kalahati naman ay gising...

Half of the world is asleep, the other half is awake.

ang kalahat ay naririnig ang pintig ng kanilang mga puso, at ang kalahati naman ay pinakikinggan ang kasawian nito.

Half can hear the beat of their hearts, while half can hear their frustrations.

Sa pangkalahatan, isa lamang akong manlalakbay. Itanong mo sa akin ang nais mong malaman...

But overall, I'm just a humble traveler. Ask me then what you want to know...

Napakahaba na ng aking nilakbay, pero ni hindi ko pa makita ang hangganan nito...

Very far did I travel, but my destination remains unseen...

Ngunit nasa kalangitan ang mga tala
at alam kong gagabayan nila ako...

Yet I know that the stars are always up above and I know that they'll stay as my guide...

Kapag nagliliwanag sila sa aking buhay
Alam kong may maganda pang bukas na darating...

As long as their light guides my life I know that a brighter day will come...

Hindi ko hahayaang talunin ako ng dilim,
mahaba na ang aking nilakbay....

I will never let myself to be vanquished by darkness, I have already traveled very far....

Nakaranas na ako ng kasawian
Nakaranas na ako ng labis na kasiyahan...

I tasted defeat I tasted extreme joy...

Kung saan ako mapapadpad bukas
ay di ko alam...

Wherever I will be whisked away by tomorrow I don't know...

Hanggang sa pinakamadilim na disyerto
Hanggang sa pinakamalalim na niyebe...

Till the darkest desert Till the deepest snow...

Pasulong, maglalakbay akong laging pasulong...

Forward, will I keep on journeying forward...

(The rest are repeated lines).
