Since I am a Filipino blogger I think I need to post this so others would know the meaning of some of our Filipino words. I write this first in English then I translate it into Tagalog or Filipino which is our national language. My hubby who is an American ask me to teach him the language so that when he mingles with my relatives and siblings he will know what they are saying. I pity him sometimes when we are conversing in Tagalog because you could see in his forehead the wrinkles trying to figure out what we are saying. Even if he could not understand he tries his best to know what's the meaning.If he could not catch up and he saw that we are laughing he then would just laugh pretending he knows. Poor guy. Here are some words that I know useful to those who want to learn. I know their are lots to be learned of but I posted a few just to start. I will post it little by little so you together with my husband will learn more. He is one of my fan in my this blog.... HHHmmnn don't ague he love me!!!!!
