You know when a writer is an English (British) or American. You know when a writer is educated or highly educated in different genre or subjects because of the terminology they used. Take for an example if the writer is a doctor wherein you would rather just leave that post/composition of the medical practitioner because you wont probably wont understand medical terminology unless if you are curious and you are hiding a secret about your ailment and you would like to know those vital signs. Maybe you are a medical student and would like to learn from the doctor's expertise on that subject when it comes to medicine, its doctrines and philosophy. Don't you miss Dr. Murphy? Um, what really happened to the GOOD DOCTOR?
Anyway, living in different countries or studying in other countries where you would like to learn their culture, customs, traditions and language to communicate deeply well enough only if you are interested you want to know everything and excel.
Can you not learn from reading books about those countries and their people or learn from watching on TV about those people who had the knowledge and expertise in their own rights to inform us about what's happening in their own country. Yeah, right better to be the one to experience it by physically present at the exact location. That's why we are thankful for those travel bloggers because they are to relate their experiences and we are benefited from their own personal experience. Besides, who would like to spend lots of money just to see those exotic places. Maybe they are to just to go to those countries (or has gone there already) because it's wok related or invited by relatives or maybe because on official business. That travel blogger can't be that ALONE by herself or himself just like what happened to Mr. & Mrs SMITH. Truth is some people are CONCERNED for those solo travel bloggers because it's risky being alone in foreign countries. For a couple, traveling around the world is much appreciated for some older people. For the rich and famous traveling around the world is an awesome way to spend money, only if you are financially endowed ... ah, those filthy rich. They've got nothing better to do but float on lukewarm chlorinated swimming pool surrounded by sexy, pretty women clad in floral designed bikinis and skimpy thongs. Hindi ako naiinggit kahit ipakita mo pa ang singit mo! Aahahhahah!
Adding extra knowledge by communicating in other people's language. Okay A.R., Rosetta Stone would probably be helpful but speaking or communicating with the language with people who really speak the language would help better to speak fluently that language aside from speaking the normal universal language. It will take time. It takes maybe 6 months for an American to learn Italian language or takes a Canadian to learn Mandarin for a year or maybe two years and it will take many years for an ordinary individual to speak fluently the Tagalog language because so many million Filipinos until now cannot communicate perfectly in Pilipino or Tagalog language. Would you believe that? For 500 years since the time of the Spanish regime, Philippines was under the rule of Spaniards. Five hundred years! That made the Filipinos > Spanish not Filipinos. So after the universal language Spanish was kaput, stopped in the 1900, replaced by English language as the universal language the Filipinos adopted the English language... I don't know really how Tagalog was discovered. I think it is the combination of people using different words combination.
Spanish+Chinese+Indians+Malays+Indonesians+American language and that's how Tagalog is used in communication, combination of differen languages. It's not original.? Para syang pagkain na pinaghalo-halo. The Visayan dialect is similar to the Malay and Indonesian language. Ilocano language is similar to the dialect of the Chinese/Japanese combi. It should not be called dialect but language. Bakit kasi dialect? Dayalek? O, kasi alam mo naman di ba? Noong unang panahon, ang Philippines kasi yung parteng Quezon province lang + Metro Manila or the Luzon province lang. Kaya nga nung time ni Pres. Emilio Aguinaldo, Cavite (part of Luzon) ang main capital ng Philippines. After World War II pati Visaya, Mindanao naging Philippines na rin. Susunod nyan pati Canada baka maging Philippines na rin. Bakit hindi? Part of America belongs to Philippines. Shocking? Fort Bonifacio was once Fort McKinley, USA. Hawaii was once a territory of Philippines bakit napapunta sa US?
EWAN. May mga bagay na hindi na dapat ungkatin dahil magulo at baka lumaki pa ang gulo at magkagiyera pa.. Kaya nga EWAN!!!!!!!!! Kung gusto mo get that hot burning steel trademark for the cow or BRAND YOUR SKIN with lots of tattoos.
Hey GIANT please bring Hawaii to the Philippine territory. Yun na nga kasi because of the Pearl Harbor kaya nga... whatever. Sige na nga sa inyo na ang Hawaii. Magulo. Why bother take Hawaii when Philippines is already large enough and has larger population in more than hundred millions+. Maliit nga ba ang size ng Philippines parang tuldok lang sa map. Or in all honesty mas malaki ang size ng Philippines compared with Europe and other parts of the world. Dinaya lang ba ang map? Siguro hindi pa naimbento ang salamin at hindi pa accurate ang knowledge sa Geography and geological map measurement. Baka yung old map inihalo sa new map pero dapat binura na sa map yung lumang map at hindi na isinama sa modern map. Hay naku, walang calculus nung panahon ng mga kopong kopong.
You can travel Europe in just 2-3 days but you can't travel the whole Philippines in one week. Bakit? Ewan ko nga! Subukan mong magtravel from the tip of Luzon to the tip of Mindanao then to the eastern and western part of Visayan region maybe you'll end up being shocked and ask yourself, "How that happened?" Kataka-taka ba?
Don't get me wrong here. Just because I wrote something not nice about the Philippines and some bad dudes in my country, doesn't mean I don't love my country. The problem is the Philippines during the time of the Marcos regime is far more better than the Philippines you know today or at the time when the Marcos families and cronies were sent to Hawaii on exile. It's totally different because it's like my country has been invaded and infiltrated. And some people were saying, "don't you like the many improvements and developments in terms of having those skyscrapers, modern facilities and modern infrastructures?" OMG! They were owned by multi-nationals! Filipinos don't own them just because they were built inside the land of the Philippines. So dream on! Here's the good news...maybe there's a chance that millions of overseas workers or OFW's about to own the Middle East because of their presence there by the millions. Funny? Yeah, laugh at it as if its a joke.
