To blog in Filipino?

In: Language

10 Jul 2009

I’ve been working on this blog for the past few days and I got to browse some blog posts from three or so years ago when I blogged using Filipino (or Taglish). Just check this sort-of fictional piece I wrote from my days of being a corporate monkey. Those were the days. When I can still write with hot-knife-through-butter ease in my native tongue.

Makes me want to shift all of a sudden…

Talagang nakapangungulila din naman kung bakit laging Inggles na lang ang gamit kong wika upang magsulat sa aking blog. Hindi naman pawang mga banyaga lamang ang mambabasa nitong blog ko na ito. Karamihan pa rin naman ng mga bumibisita dito ay mga mga kaibgan at mga dating kamag-aral na makiintindi ng aking pagsusulat.

Piff. Maybe that sounded like I was trying too hard. Amazingly, I didn’t struggle but I’m sure folks from the Filipino department would frown at that bit. Just like riding a bike, I guess. Rusty but you never unlearn it. Maybe I should try it out again one of these days when I finally step into that mood.

Words of Wisdom

You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine. If you mean it turns to vinegar, it does. If you mean it gets better with age, it don’t. — Marsellus Wallace, Pulp Fiction
