From Tagalog to English

I was a bit overwhelmed with requests of actually translating my Tagalog posts to English. I did add a translator on this blog. But when my friend Tintin and I tried it out for ourselves, we ended up laughing our asses off because the translations were really hilarious!

Anyway, I'm taking the advice of my readers, so its English from now on (though I might snuck in one or two Tag-lish posts once in a while tee-hee...!).

Sorry Kunjubi, but I can't possibly translate the entire text of "Estranghero sa Gapo" (which means "Stranger in 'Gapo") to English. In a nutshell though, that article is all about some of my funny experiences and observations as a new resident of Olongapo City. But don't fret, a lot has happened since so I will be writing more of these soon.

Thanks to kitty up there (and her growing number of fans), my erstwhile dead writing career could probably be taking off again.

Maria Luisa Taa Venida said...: Am I wrong to say that Tagalog is harder than English? Almost all words are longer than the English equivalent (mas magastos sa SMS).

Anyway, thanks for visiting my blog, "I Don't Want To Retire". I also featured an orange and white cat in my post, "Miracles are for animals too".

I enjoyed reading your blog. I admire radio talents, and my next post in "Dreams List", my other blog, will be about my mom who was a radio talent, and my dream to be like her.; July 16, 2008 at 1:08 PM

Filip said...: Can anyone please let me know the meaning of the following phrase.

"Hindi sya nagdelete sayo, yong partner nyang praning. Pati ako inadd nya ng seguro 2hrs para lang seguro makita nya kung ano nasa profile ko then deleted narin after nyang mag invistigate. Dinilet din nya account nya sa friendster dahil lang sa atin (superv Freak noh?). Aasarin ko nga sana kung profile pa sya eh. Natatawa lang ako sa kanya. Nanggagalaiti sa atin. Pano kung malaman kaya nyang kami dati nung kinakabaliwan nya. Galit na sya agad eh wala pa nga syang malalim na dahilan. I think that's hillarious! Napakaplastic nyang magmahal ha- puro exageration ang alam. Control freak masyado. Dapat tinatali nya sa bewang nya si Alex, para di kumawala. Bakit kaya may mga babaeng ganyan? Walang confident sa sarili, baliw na ata yan eh. Hay, naku naaawa lang ako kay Arnel."

Thanks; January 23, 2009 at 6:10 PM
RhonB895 said...: Just saw your comment Filip. I'll give it a try: (Just found out the subject is a girl...okay...)

"(He) wasn't the one who deleted you, but his paranoid friend. She even added me within i think 2 hours so just she could see what is there in my profile then deleted it after checking (investigating) it out. She also deleted her account in friendster because of us (super freak, huh?) I was hoping to piss her off if its still her profile. She's just hilarious.She's really seething mad at us. What if she finds out it was us whom he got obsessed with? She got angry at once without any valid (deep?) reason. (I think that's hilarious). Her love isn't real (plastic, artificial love? or her love is shallow, just a facade?), very exaggerated. She's such a control freak. She should just tie Alex to her waist so (Alex) won't escape her. Why are there girls like that? They don't have any self-confidence, she's probably crazy. Oh, I feel so sorry for Arnel."

Was that ok?; February 14, 2009 at 10:57 PM
