I’m just wondering... which of the two languages you prefer most? Filipino [it’s not actually Tagalog] or English? These past few days, these thoughts were just lingering on my mind. I don’t know why. So now, this would be the topic of my new entry.
Everytime I hear the line “I’m proud to be Pinoy!” a big question mark just burst into my mind. It’s disturbing actually. Why would one say that he/she is proud of her own race when he/she uses the language of foreign countries? [Did you get my point?] Instead of uttering “I’m proud to be Pinoy!”, maybe “ipinagmamalaki kong pinoy ako” would subject more. As a Filipino citizen, I should be aware of the things happening in my homeland. I, myself admit that I used to practice the English language [For example, in creating entries for my blogs]. Well, I prefer to use it here in my blog because not all blog readers are Filipino.[Hehe] Come to think of it, I have this friend from KL, Malaysia, who uses to read my blog also. Obviously, she would not understand the stuffs I’m going to blabber if I would apply the Filipino language.
But folks, I would like to confess something, I’m just confused. Well, when I saw my report card just recently, I was surprised to see that my English grade was far higher than my Filipino grade. I’ve got no idea why did that happen, when I used to balance those things before. Would this be…a matter of ‘identity crisis? [Haha]
So, I think that’s all. I just wanted to share my side. :))

- Fun.
This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
