thought that all commonly used is correct

Learning foreign language is a lot fun. But sometimes or even often, it can be nerve-wracking. Here goes..

When we are not conscious with what we say, we naturally go with the flow..with what is commonly used, regardless of its dictionary meaning. For non-linguist individuals, we are not aware with what is grammatically correct for as long as we end up being understood by the ones we are conversing with. But sometimes as non-native speakers of English, we have to put consciousness to our thoughts in the context of speaking to somehow avoid language barrier between two opposing point of views.

Now take a look of this sentence structure: "I eat my breakfast today." --the sentence is syntactically(deals with the rules or patterned relation that govern the way words combine to form a phrase) correct because the pronoun "I" is always followed by the base form of the verb in present tense. HOWEVER the sentence is semantically ( is devoted to the study of meaning) wrong.

To simply put it literally--"How can one eat the breakfast?". And so to make it clearly understood, it is much proper to say " I take my breakfast today". In other words, it is only a matter of choosing the right word to mean a thing correctly by replacing the word "eat" with the word "take".

Mao ra intawon ni ako nahinumduman sa ako Masters way back five years..
Whew!kakaloka talaga ang English grammar ano?hehe!

But I hope this short lesson helps.;0)

"Tag-lish"

Being a true blooded Filipino, I admit that sometimes it makes me feel guilty not to recognize the "Tagalog" term of a certain thing.

The invasion of Americans and Spaniards brought too much influence to the evolution of language in the Philippines. And because of this, Filipinos seem to be the most easy to get adapted with their languages. Even reaching to a point of forgetting to speak our own language in straight manner. We unconsciously get to speak "taglish" if not appearing to be "konyo" individuals.

In my roaming around the blogosphere, I noticed that out of 100% Filipino bloggers, about 80% uses foreign language. While the remaining percentage are those who still advocate the use of Tagalog which is more conventional of course. Because of this fact, it simply shows that we, Filipinos, are the ones easy to learn foreign language esp. the English language. The only sad thing out of it perhaps is that, going beyond that wit, we even forget the tagalog term of a certain thing.

But of course, you don't go to the store to say, "Pabili nga ng kwaderno." But will say, "Pabili nga ng notebook." Otherwise you will appear "makata" for your straight tagalog or the one you're talking to doesn't exactly understand the term "kwaderno"...owing the fact that you are both Filipinos. We have become used to our taglish way of speaking such as "Natapos mo na ba ang homework mo?" or "Magda-drive ako mamaya."

The term "konyo", however, is a neologism that refers to the people often considered to be the children of affluent families. They are often tagged to be "sossy" in a way. Example of this is, "Let's make tusok ng fishballs". Konyo is a phrase combining the English verb "make" with the base form of the tagalog verb.

The term "cake" for example is still "keyk" in sound but only differs in spelling. This is what we call "borrowed term." The terms "mama o papa" are also what we got from the Spaniards as we address our parents. These great influences only prove that even language evolves and changes from time to time. But in spite of this, may we not forget too our national language even we have already gone far and have traveled around the globe.

Happy Anniversary amore mio!

May God continue to bless what we have...

ti voglio tantissimo bene!

Smart Vita

There are times in us when we feel the most stressful moments and hopefully thought how this might be over. In this fast pacing generation, we are always on-the-go with things that satisfy in every one of us. Sometimes, we are too indulged with work all week that we forget the essential of it all which is our health. Women, in this present time, don't wanna be left behind and so they are always as energetic as they thought they still are. However, we still come a point in us that we wish we hadn't work too hard especially when the body starts to complain. Well then, it's nothing to worry, there is always an equal antidote to every trying times.Find out for more information here.

Also, ever heard of  Smarty Pants Vitamins? Well, kids nowadays grow with much interest about anything and everything that makes them curious. I swear there are many parents now who even have hard times in the feeding their kiddies especially if they serve meals that already seem ordinary to them. Since, we all want our children to be as healthy and so we serve meals always filled with nutritional values. Have a try then and worry no more.

the purpose driven life

I'm thinking if there's a need to put this sentiment into record. My mind just seems to be a blank sheet. I cannot think of words in this contemplation..but then, let me just try. Maybe the heart works if  not the mind.

Sometimes I wonder, what is it about living that we so hold on to. But I believe, life is a gift from our Creator. And there is so much about life that I so still want to cherish with. My heart sinks for the youngs and even the olds who would resort to suicidal as an escape from a life they thought was meaningless. If only they were properly guided, or if only there were happy souls smiling at them at their lowest point. But as for my lowest point, I prayed hard, prayed like I never did before, for a life that is full of meaning... for me. God is my perfect escape.

Three months...I don't know how I get the strength to go on. I went to work as if my spirit was crushing because I felt so weak, but there is only one thing for sure, FAITH. For the first time in my life, I was struggling with my health condition for three long months. I pray hard everyday. Only then I realized, that in all those past years of my life, my faith was as little then as a mustard seed. However then and ironically, this is the very moment in my life where my relationship with my God grows deeper each day. I admit I prayed for my life. I wish I can go back to my old self. Spiritual advisers say, do not pray because you ask for something in return, just pray and be thankful for His unfailing love and the gift of life each day. Admittedly, I am guilty for I ask for a return. This weak creature asked for her life. And I am thankful each day because God keeps me going. He understands. His mercy is overflowing. I know there is purpose for every situation, I continue to pray that this purpose is for His greater glory..be my guide each day. Thank you Po!

my prayer

Lord, I don't know how to begin my words. I so want to talk to you each moment of my life. I so want to tell you of the things I still don't understand as human but you are there to open our hearts and mind. I have been staring blankly on my dashboard for quite a while thinking how I might put these feelings into words to prove at least in words how much this faith has helped me in so many ways. Thank you for your undying love. You died for my sins Jesus, all because your love is true and pure. Help us and teach us to show that same love for others, Lord. Make us a perfect creation as You with our Father, our Creator, are perfect. Take away our pride, our selfish egos and desires and teach us to serve others in need. Help us realize everyday of our lives that what we have are all yours and that we must use them in right ways. 

I thank you for the wisdom to understand things. The wisdom that only comes from You. Hold us, Jesus! We are nothing without you. Protect us from evil ways and let us always be mindful of things are pleasing to you, so that one day when this is all over, we will be happily worthy of the paradise that you promise, in a life that will have no end, with You. I love you, Jesus. Come into our everyday lives because we are weak. Be our strength so that whatever trials come our way, we are strong in You. All these I pray with Mother Mary. Amen
