Neil's recent entry(*march 4, 01) really caught my attention -->> why blogs in tagalog?
I have been doing my blogs for 2 months now. I've read the past entries, and some of them are in Tagalog. But lately I find myself writing in English.
I am Filipino, Tagalog is my dialect .Now, why do I write in English?!
I have discovered that I'm not a good user of Tagalog, That whenever I write in Tagalog, my entries seemed to be senseless.
In writing in tagalog, I end up writing more that what I want to write. Meaning, the longer I write--- the entry becomes a story without a story... *nyaaks!*
There are certain words that I can't well say in Tagalog but sounds nice in English such as, *bleep* *blip* , and *bleeeeeeeeeep* all of which are curses by the way.
For academic purposes-- I get to check the mistakes that I have committed as to grammar, conjunctions, and sentence structure. Then I correct them. Kind of a seatwork for me really.....
I do not want to use Taglish...for obvious reason that it does not sound nice and there is no such Dialect or language. It is either I write in pure English or in pure tagalog. And besides, I don't want to sound like Kris Aquino. (*a lesson that I have learned from my past entries.... ahehe!)
Who cares if I commit mistakes? I don’t.
