Back to Mandarin 101

February 7 was the first day of my Mandarin class offered by GFAP. I hope that after 3 months I will be a fluid speaker! Mandarin is the language of money.

The day starts at 9am, and with the welcome speech of the elders.
And then after we were in two groups, the advance class goes to Siansi Yan's and basic, us, goes with Siansi Wu Xing-yue. She is a very funny siansi, makes it light to learn Mandarin and inject jokes. I think I am in for some fun learning. LOL. Hello Siansi Emy of Phil. Simsin.

Back to Friendster! Maybe not.

Just recently (I think around December) Friendster revamped, more like doing it, Facebook way. But I guess not so much people will convert back, they should try a campaign to encourage switch, or at least continuous use. I won't probably use it again, because half of my friends in FS already abandoned their accounts, no sense to use it--- how to socialize when there's no one there.
One thing that I've notice--- their blog is powered by Wordpress! That's a good one. Good thought. Wordpress is the best tool for blogging (next to my baby blogger ofcourse, for being user friendly, but SEO, it WP).
I think they have apps before, but not like these. Oh they have farm thing also. LOL

Nice one Friendster, keep it up, malay mo maging friends tayo ulit--- kapag hindi ka na pow jologs.

Pinoy Movie Tragedy

Are you fond of watching Pinoy movies? Me, not, but I keep a little faith in Filipino talents--- I guess it always fails me--- that's why I always try to watch some that I thought would satisfy my taste, but then it couldn't.

I was excited to watch Mano Po 6, but then it failed to surpass or at least to level with the title it carry.

Then just recently--- okay just this morning, I got to see I Love You, Goodbye. It was a mess. So many unnecessary scenes--- Gaby and his lolo flesh, and other bed scenes, that. really. wasn't. even. so sayang. to be removed. Sana hindi nila kina-cut short yung movie just to squeeze those bed scene. And then end up with this:
The script is so stupid. Hindi tumitingin sa dadaanan. Okay, let's say that vehicles are rare in the province and for running at a speed like that, still.
That's what you get--- you die ugly--- if you're not responsible enough to stop, look and listen.

Here's another movie, In My Life, with the same tragic ending, I guess it's a fad that Pinoy movies are following to make the movie really, really nice, and realistic too.
See there, stupidity. Crossing while talking on the phone.
Didn't he knew that, there's such a thing a phonethics?
I don't know, magagaling naman ang Pinoy, but why this.
