Valentine's Greeting for my Mahal



Silly, squashy, sappy, mushy…

Well it is the season of sentiments, the seasons of love. I found another contest from this site, it is not the prize that is important for me but celebrating with other lovers our passion of greeting online our dearest and beloved (last day today):

I am definitely pathetic, so here is the eros of my pathos (sorry folks as they said, it is sweeter to speak your own language/mother tongue when saying love and other endearing words, ask around for translation):

Sa aking giliw,

Nangangatog na ang aking tuhod sa ginaw ng aircon; nanginginig ang mga daliri sa pagtipa ng keyboard; nababaluktot na rin ang direksiyon ng pointer sa pagpindot ng mouse; nangingindat-ngindat na ang mata sa katititig sa screen; ang aking baywang sa matagal na pagkakaupo ngawit na rin, subalit lahat kakayanin, mabuo lamang ang mga katagang kailangan kong ma-decode sa isip ng sa gayon aking ma-encode sa puso ang tunay kong damdamin, kahit man lang sa e-mail, handog at alay ko sa iyo WAGAS kong PAGMAMAHAL!

For a moment there, i thought you meant mahal as in the word for expensive in malay. That would actually be a very cute thing to call your other half. She is and should be the most expensive thing in your eyes after all. Haha!

Happy Valentines Day!

BYE!

p.s. I'm learning so many lovey dovey names today.
p.s.p.s. Anyway i could get a translation of that? :P

yes indeed a lot of Filipino words have similarities with Bahasa Malaysia and Indonesia, definitely your beloved is someone dear and expensive- or to say perfectly - priceless

so i tried translating it here it goes:

to you dearest,

my knees are shaking cold from the aircon; my fingers are trembling typing in the keyboard, the pointer gets misdirected clicking the mouse; my eyes keep on blinking staring at the screen; my hips are tired sitting down for a long time; but I will conquer all these maladies so that I may be able to decode those words in my mind and encode them in my heart my true feelings even if it is just in email, it is my offer and gift to you my real and true love.

Priceless, now that's a better word! That dear might take 'expensive' the wrong way and think you're saying she's high maintenance. Haha!

Aww, that's so sweet... where is your priceless other half anyway, if i may ask? And if read in Filipino, would what you wrote be a poem? Thanks for taking the trouble to translate by the way. Love the way you use encode, decode and maladies. I want to them like that too!

BYE!

p.s. Oh darn, V-day is over.. so soon.

my beloved is in the Philippines and I am a migrant worker here in Korea. It is a free verse rather than poem ( classic poets might scold us to call it poetry).

check out the site they've come out with winners already.

Happy Birthday Buddha!

Image
Well my blog is becoming a foto blog. I can't resist but capture the colors and scenes around after the dreary, snowless, and cold winter is a profusion of colors and the freshness of greens. This is the scene at the park now. Colorful lanterns adorn the pathway - to enlighten seekers of truth, maybe? Trees are full of flowers soon they will disappear. But, they are here to stay a bit to be offered as bouquet or tree of flowers for Buddha on his birthday. Flowers and Lanterns at the 518 Park

Ihip ng Hangin - Saranggola ni Pepe

Image
Matayog ang lipad ng saranggola ni Pepe Matayog ang pangarap ng matandang bingi Hinuli ang ibon, pinagsuot ng pantalon Tinali ng pisi, hindi na nagsinturon Dumaan ang jeepney at gumuhit pa sa kalye Mauling ang iniwang hindi na tinabi Nay...nay...nay...nay... (Awit ni Celeste Legaspi) This photo was taken last 5th of May, Children's Day of Korea, it was a holiday so the park was teeming with children and their parents. It was windy so kites made their presence on the sky. But it was the adults (their dad) who enjoyed flying kite the most, it was them who controlled the kite's thread to keep it afloat. So some of the kids were protesting to have the chance to play with the the kite. I am so glad to find this video from You Tube since it is children related as well. The music was performed by a children's choir (kids of Overseas Filipino Workers) based in Jeddah, KSA. Read the comments made by the owner of the video. I hope that these children understand and appreciate ...
