To make money (if there's such a thing) and give it to the poor.

Ohh.. now I know the direct vs indirect pronoun.

If there's Spanglish, there's Taglish (tagalog + english)  

I'd like to follow this topic. :)

Oh! So that's the history.

Cool

Personality vs physical appearance.

I'm just here to check your favorites so I can add it to my list.  

I find baking.. frustrating. :(

Would you rather find your true love or a suitcase filled with millions of dollars inside?

I would go with a suitcase with millions of dollars inside. :D

Depends on my mood.

This made my day. LOL 

Would you like a cuppa? 

What other "Straya" slang do you know?

Now that I think about it, you don't have to fight over for coffee! It's always coffee time :heart_eyes:

agree!!

We use metric system here in the Philippines. So if you tell me that you are 120lbs, I will have to convert it first before I can imagine how heavy you are.  

Best - Math

Worst - History (unfortunately I hated it back then, but now I realize it's an interesting subject)

Hot americano always. or brewed coffee. 

I have more time to read and do things that I love. I love it when I can wake up 10 mins or 5 mins before my shift. 

Checking. Thank you!

 A friend of mine lived in Germany for one year. Now she is a tutor here and earning a lot of money. :)

Same here. I'm using an android phone. Google chrome and IE

Yup. That's why I like my set up now, working from home.

How's your work from home set up doing? :)

Just typing here to see what's mine.

I'd love to try Juijitsu. I only do boxing and muay thai a bit

 I think I want to be a mountain. Just because I love mountain climbing.

I started using dualingo to learn spanish for a while, i invested time in it at the basic level. I took a long break because of work, months to be precise, i recently downloaded it and it continued from where i stopped previously and honestly all i learnt kept coming back as soon as i saw them.

same! I stopped for almost 3 months now but I can still remember once I see them

Any Australian series or movie that you can recommend? I am having a hard time understanding their accent but I need to as soon as possible. No offense. Thanks!

Tamilok?

Bugs and other weird things aisde, "Killing me softly" from Tarlac. They hit the chicken (while alive) repeatedly with a stick so it develops bruises. They said it makes it yummier. I just find it too...brutal so even though it's just chicken, I have no desire to taste it.

I never heard of this. OMG...  

I love it. For Pinoy, it's pantanggal umay.  

This is me and my daughter when we climb Tarak Ridge here in the Philippines on her birthday. It took us 11 hours, it hurts so good the next morning.  

The view is breathtaking! This makes me want to climb a frozen mountain! haha

The ones who eat cockroach and worms. Why?  

you should try it Michelle! hahahaha

Wala akong masasabi sa kanila. Hindi nila ikakayaman yun. Char! Basta naipaparating mo ng malinaw ang iyong mensahe, yun ang importante.

Spanish because I think it's cool. :D I was doing okay with it but I got too busy and now I'm back to square one.

Online courses and self stufy. If I want to take it to the next level I might get a 1:1 teacher.

Nice tips from this thread!

however, here in the Philippines, if you use our slangs, it's okay. It's fun hearing it with a different accent. lol

If I am comfortable saying it without sounding awkward I would. But if not, nope.

Why is an electrical outlet called an outlet when you plug things into it? Shouldn’t it be called an inlet?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why’s it still #2?

Why is it that when you’re driving and looking for an address, you turn down the volume on the radio?

Why isn’t 11 pronounced “onety-one”?

I haven't but I'd like to try.

I love to work even on my birthday. A coffee or alone time will do.

I know I'm suppose to be bragging about our beautiful beaches here in the Philippines, but the first thing that came into my mind when I saw this post is that we are the 3rd country with the most plastic waste. :(

My country Panamá is awesome. Most people can speak English. Our currency is the american dollar. Night life is very fun, we know how to party. You can drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean in 1 hour and a half. We have great all inclusive beach hotels or you can escape to the mountains. You can go see the Panama Canal.
People are super friendly and happy and the food is just out of this world. It is worth visiting.

Nice to know! All I know about Panama is the prison scene because of Prison break series. :D

Fortunately, I already resigned from my corporate job and I can now go hiking on weekends.

I agree with this one. Really choose the ones that has an impact 

I strongly agree. My EQ is average and I really need to work on that.

I wasn't able to watch this episode. Damn.. buwis buhay indeed.

Reading any topic that interests me. Reading topics on how I can build muscle and not be bored with my current work out program haha! I am into attending seminars regarding personal development, leadership, financials, etc.

What are some interesting topics to read about aside from language? 

Unfortunately.

Bakit parang mas grammar nazi pa ang mga Pinoy kaysa sa native English speaker ano? Mapapansin mo sa YouTube or Facebook comments wagas! :sweat_smile:

Cool!

I didn't know that netflix has this option!

Thanks for sharing

Amazing! I hope I have the same energy to learn all that.

Hey Aileen, I wish I had something super encouraging to say to you, but all I can say is, it's okay to take a step back and reevaluate all the reasons that made you start in the first place. Or better still,take a break,do something else that motivates you and makes you happy and when you find your why,you come right back and kick ass!

Thank you for your kind words.

I am losing my big WHY. That's what's roadblock. :neutral_face:

I think yes.

How do you set your goals in general? What do you do so you can really stick to your goals?

There are some things you can't just translate because they end up losing their original meaning or intention. In my opinion, this does not happen always but I've been forced to speak Spanglish sometimes because I can't find the word or frase that would match what I'm trying to say. I support your opinion.

agree

Saving this for future reference. Thanks!
