Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­

Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is a habit you picked up from your parents?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

"Pick up after yourself. Clean as you go."

Only in my own room am I allowed to relax and be a slob. However, I dislike things not being put back in their proper places, so things end up more or less orderly anyways.

[–] decadentrebel 6 points 1 year ago

Not having any vices. Closest was a sip of alcohol more than a decade ago, and that's it.

[–] a_tree_with_5_branch 4 points 1 year ago

drinking alcoholic drinks

Need to pay bills as soon na makuha yung statement.

Though mas okay na today dahil sa online banking, whereas before, binibitbit ako ni mama sa payment center.

I wonder how hard ~~Tagalog~~ Filipino is to learn from a grammatical perspective. I mean, if you think about it, our monosyllabic particles alone are very diverse in functions ("ba", "pa", "nga", "sa", "na").

Like these particles alone can change the entire meaning of a sentence:

  • "Meron pa?" (surprised)
  • "Meron na?" (not surprised)
  • "Meron nga?" (don't lie to me)
  • "Meron ba?" (legitimately inquiring)
  • "Meron sa?" (finding)

A conversation:

  • "Meron bang kalabasa sa palengke?"
  • "Meron na."
  • "Kailan pa?"
  • "Kahapon pa."
  • "Magkano ba?"
  • "PHP30.00 na."
  • "Ang mahal na, ah."
  • "Oo nga."

EDIT: Changed "Tagalog" to "Filipino" because it's tantamount to saying langue d'oil is French, Castillian is Spanish, or Old English is Modern English.

"Meron nga pa ba sana."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think what you mean is "meron pa nga ba? Sana"?

Isa pa yan. We take it for granted, but we mash these monosyllabic particles together and somehow change what the sentence means.

"Meron pa" has certainty. "Meron pa nga" has insistence. "Meron pa nga ba?" questions the insistent certainty of the previous particles.

It's fun and at the same time confusing to think about HAHAHA

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I once downloaded and tried to read a reference grammar for Filipino (Tagalog, as it's indicated in the document). It was an interesting experience trying to make sense of that document with zero linguistics knowledge and only guessing using what I "innately know" of the language.

As far as "one particle changing the meaning of the entire sentence" I think a close analog would be the Japanese か／かγͺ／ね used at the end of a sentence.

For example:

ηΎŽε‘³γ—γ„γ§γ™γ­γ€‚

[Romaji] Oishii desune(?)

[Filipino] Masarap 'no?

ηΎŽε‘³γ—γ„γ§γ™γ‹γ€‚

[Romaji] Oishii desuka?
[Filipino] Masarap ba?

ηΎŽε‘³γ—γ„γ‹γͺ。

[Romaji] Oishii kana?
[Filipino] Masarap kaya?

Kinilig ang frennies because I had a meet cute moment while we were out. I think masyadong romantiko ang mga kaluluwa nila because the moment didn't really even register with me. Kung sila hopeless romantic siguro ako hopeless lang πŸ˜† jk

Nako, ayaw ko maglagay ng meaning sa mga bagay-bagay sumasakit lang ulo ko. I'll only allow myself to feel kilig kapag mukhang matino naman yung tao, napag-usapan na at may patutunguhan if it goes well. Hindi naman challenge pakiligin o magka feelings ako, it's just a matter of compatibility and if it's going to go somewhere.

It just be like that. We deserve people who will treat us right at pasasayahin tayo. I feel so grown up charot. Kapag napadaan ako sa timezone I shall practice my shooting zombies skill with composure. πŸ”« maybe it's an inner child thing, me and zombies

Despite the shittons Microsoft added, Edge is a more customizable and performs better than Google Chrome.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Edge actually does perform better than Chrome, they actually managed to optimize a Chromium-based browser.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Chrome looks cleaner, ~~but extensively tracks you everywhere with their Google trackers~~ Oh wait, Edge doesn't block Google's doubleclick.

Remember:

MBps or MB/s β‰  Mbps

To get your Internet speed in megabyte, just divide your megabit (Mbps) with 8.

5Mbps / 8 = 0.625MB/s or 625KBps

EDIT: Putangina, sabaw na sabaw ako. Bat ko ito shinare? lol

Naka-goal na ang Pilipinas sa Women's World Cup hindi pa rin tapos ang flyover sa Molino

How does one deal with demotivation to work or to do most things, other than just pass the time and stare at the nothingness and the lack of direction of one's life? How does one regain the creative spark that was lost, the joy of life, the curiosity to learn and understand not just those around us but also within ourselves. How does one be "alive'?

Just leaving my random thoughts here.

[–] mr_m00 5 points 1 year ago

At this point, my body just autopilots until I get home.

[–] megane_kun 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

On a more practical sense, someone once told me that discipline and habit is far more important than motivation once things are properly rolling. Motivation might be the spark that gotten things rolling, but it's discipline and habit that keeps it going. (And that I ought to listen to that advice myself.)

However, in a more philosophical sense, I think accepting that you've lost your own spark and facing that very question β€œhow does one be alive?” with the intent of reigniting that lost spark is pretty much facing the absurd. That facing that question every waking day of one's life, answering that question for every moment, is pretty much the point. Whether or not the answer makes sense (in the moment or otherwise) or not is irrelevant, because the value is not in the answer, but in the way we face it.

It could be that for today, I could face it by making a slight detour in my daily commute and allowing myself to get lost on the way home, for example. It could be that for some other day, just as an example, I could choose to face it by not wearing any underwear during a work zoom meeting, relishing on that danger of being exposed. Or it could be as trivial as making pancit by using spaghetti. Or making spaghetti by using pancit bihon. All trivial things in the big picture, but if it makes my day any little more tolerable, then so be it.

TIL that the Filipinas' team doctor is Fille Cainglet who is not the same (or related to) Fille Cainglet, the volleyball player and wife of Lino Cayetano.

Suggestion to @[email protected]

Maybe a picture of Sarina Bolden in tomorrow's (or Sunday's) RD thread?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good idea. Already in talks with someone if we could use her artwork. :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nonstop rains and some strong gusts of wind here in Baguio since yesterday evening. Kagabi pa walang kuryente pambihira. If it's this bad here that I actually decided not to head to work last night, I can't imagine how bad it must be nearer to the typhoon eye.

John Mayer may not have the best rep when it comes to his personal life (in the past at least), pero tangina sana naman kaunting paulan ng talent lord. Sana ol ganito kagaling mag gitara.

Just so mesmerizing to look at and listen to.

Good evening Phlemmings. Stay safe and dry.
