What are your recommendations for some Tagalog children's books that you read when you were a child or to your children?
Books by Adarna House. I loved those books when I was a kid.
I wish more Americans knew what I meant when I tell them "bahala ka sa buhay mo" 🤦
Saying "you're on your own" have less impact.
In other news, I'm currently craving for sauerkraut and bratwurst. But I'm piss-ass poor and unapologetically broke so... *bukas ng sardinas*
I am craving for ube-flavored ice cream. Yung one-pint na nabibili sa convenience stores sa Pinas. 😞
I love the Philippines The price tag of a shirt said ₽100 (around $3) I went to pay, “that will be ₽100” Wow no tax, no extra fees Just $3 like the tag said
In the Philippines, the tax is already included in the tag price—in all places. This means no work for the customers and more work for the bookkeepers/accountants.

Recently I’ve gotten into the habit of increasing the speed of a certain class of YouTube videos to 1.5× (or 1.25× or 1.75× depending on the video). I guess I’m not alone? 😅
That, and I also have a habit of checking out the 3-minute and 7-minute marks of a 10 minute episode to see if it interests me. Some creators and padding their content to be able to monetize.
What is the English equivalent of the Tagalog 🇵🇭 phrase: "anak ng tipaklong"
the "tipaklong" here is a euphemism for "p*ta". So, "anak ng tipaklong" is more or less "son of a gun".
