favorite word?

in the spirit of this blog, i'll share my favorite filipino word:

mga

it's my favorite because it can be used to make any word plural in filipino, no special instances or irregularity

for example:

prutas (fruit) -> mga prutas (fruits) bata (child) -> mga bata (children)

This is very veryyy random, but it's really nice that you're able to find a religion that truly connects with you !! I hope that you get to find fulfillment along the way and get to deepen your relationships with the gods and spirits closest to you !! (Also, truly, there's something so Resonating about Philippine mythology and animism and the anitos and all the gods that are around us. Reconnecting with our ancestors AND getting to be at peace with your beliefs and energy? I 👏 Fully 👏 Support 👏 You !!!)

Hello, Anon! :D

Thank you, salamat! (I love random asks, yehey!) I’ve been journaling my journey, and even keeping a book of shadows (which I call “Aklat ng Karimlan” instead, because I really don’t feel my authentic self with English language). 

Truly, there is something about Philippine mythology that just opens your eyes, you can somehow understand how our ancestors saw the world. Also, as a writer, I love how our stories can be very poetic and metaphorical! 

I wish local mythologies (well, panitikan in general) is taught more properly and can be more accessible nation-wide. Because you’re right! It is reconnecting with our roots and finding peace. In addition, it’s also good for decolonization process, haha!

I hope you are doing well, too! Take care, ingat! Thank you for the support, kaibigan! <3

Tanong :

I feel uncomfortable with my boyfriend since he cheated on me. What should I do? I love him but I feel unhappy, and I still feel the pain.

Hnd sapat na mahal mo lang dapat masaya ka din.

If you feel unhappy with the relationship take some time off let ur self know what you really feel.

Kung love pa ba yan or just or ego na lang.

You can't just unlove someone

But being unhappy is a choice..

Sagot ni Ms: @ariellerosas

If he cheated on you, you aren't comfortable, you're unhappy, and you still feel pain? that is enough reasons to leave. kahit mahal mo yan. kahit sabihin mo pa sakin na sobrang mahal mo. if you're miserable and hurt and you arent healing then it's time to go. pero kung sasabihin mo ayaw mo talaga bumitaw then you need to move on and forgive him completely or you'll just be miserable and always looking over his shoulders and thats not a way to live either of your lives.

you have two options forget him and leave or forgive him completely and keep going with your lives. you cant half ass forgiveness and still hold over his mistakes. walang mangyayari sa relationship nyo. you'll never fully trust each other at magiging miserable lang kayo.

Sagot ni [email protected]

If you wanna be miserable for the rest of your life by being with him then just stay with him.

If you want contentment and happiness then move on.

Love is all about trust. All about making each other happy no matter what. Love is also giving and receiving.

If he really loves you he shouldn’t have

Cheated in the first place.

Alam nyo yung feeling na ayaw nyo mawala yung isang tao pero feeling mo din na if ever iiwan ka nya, hahayaan mo lang din? hahahahaha

Para sa mga taong nagmamahal ng dalawa.

Unang una, alam kong mahirap. Hindi mo alam kung sino sa kanilang dalawa ang mamahalin mo dahil nga tinitimbang mo ang pagmamahal mo sakanilang dalawa. May pag hohold back na nagaganap kasi nga what if ganito ganyan. Payo ko lang na kung nahihirapan ka na ng sobra bakit hindi mo pag isipan ng mabuti kung sino ang isusuko mo sakanilang dalawa? Mas mahirap kasi yung nasa ganyang sitwasyon ka dahil ikaw ang naiipit ikaw ang naguguluhan. Kung mahal mo naman talaga yung pang una dapat hindi ka na nagmahal pa ng isa. Sabi nila kapag nagmahal ka daw ng dalawa piliin mo ung pangalawa kasi kung totoong mahal mo at willing ka sakaniya hindi ka na dapat naghanap pa ng iba. Pag isipan mo mabuti at try to listen sa mga advice ng mga tao around you :)) just be strong at laban kung laban! 😌💪💞

Ako'y naniniwala sa isang patakarang hindi nasusulat sa papel ngunit dapat ay itinatanim sa utak:

"Huwag mong hanapin ang mga pagkukulang at pagkakamali ng iyong minamahal sa ibang tao, mahalin mo ng buo at maging kuntento ka sa taong pinili mo"

Hanggang kailan mo ba ipaparamdam sa akin ang isang napakaliit na pagkakamaling nagawa ko?
