And trips from London to other European countries are even cheaper. We are planning on going to Ireland this Christmas! I can't wait...

I've been to Bali twice. It's beautiful! You should go before it's completely destroyed by the tourist industry.

Hrmm.. well, this is one article (http://asiapacificuniverse.com/asia_pacific/messages21/10.html) I found on the subject. There are some really funny ones out there about what people name their kids.

It's more about the nicknames. Lots of filipino people have nicknames like Boboy, Cocoy, Dindo, Girlie, etc.. My parents call me "JoyJoy", hence the "Joy" i sometimes go by. My siblings are Romeo, Rene, Rowena and Arthur, but I call them Nono, Totong, Inday Rouen and Bebot.

Yeah.. then you have people who are called Apple, Honey, Peach, etc... I have a friend named Ailis because her mother is named Silia. There are a lot of mirror names like that. I have friends who are siblings named Sherwil, Sherlyn and Sherwin. And thats not uncommon. Then there's the naming everyone by the same first letter (like my first three siblings..)

I have a cousin named Minda because she was the first child that was born after the family moved to Mindanao - an area in the southern Philippines.

There was this article I once read called the Name Game and it was about the funny ways that Filipinos name people. If I have a copy, I think I'll mail it to you. It's really entertaining.. It helps to know a few filipinos, though.

If you google "Filipino names", you'll come up with some interesting stuff!

Voces tem a mesma idade?

Parece um fado!

I lived in Hong Kong for two years and there were tons of filipinas there. My brother had a nurse called Florina, and later another one called Lolita! One of Lolita's friend was called Cherry! My mom used to call her Cherrypie. :)

I wish I had learned some words with Florina. She was really cool. Lolita had a heart of gold but she had to leave us because of a tragedy. Her daughter, living back in the Philippines, had a fight with her husband and took some poison - she had only done it to scare him, but she ended up killing herself. It was Lolita's only daughter and it just destroyed her. :/

Oh yes! Alvorada... it's a name nobody would give their kid in Brasil, unless they were hippies! :P

From the short time I've known you, i've seen your friendliness and sociability. Do you have problems with finance?

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

It's all about Sex baby! Sex sells and sex gets people reading. And drama too.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

An interest in material rather than the spiritual

But is this true?

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

oh wow... that is really .. really tragic. It's really saddening that so many filipina women have to go abroad to work and leave their kids behind. Then to hear that something terrible has happened to a family member, especially a child.. wow.

I have an aunt named Cirilia - my dad's oldest sister. I call her Auntie Cherry.

I only know a few Filipino words. Not enough to converse. I would teach you some, but I'd have no idea if you're pronouncing them right!

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Don't you ever ask your parents to teach you some words? Do they speak to you in Filipino? (isn't the language called Taglagocli, or something like that?)

Nah - I'm a Capricorn - we're the bankers of the astrology world
*sarcy grin*

Well, I know I coulda been named either Diane or Dawn ...and my Mum plumped for Dawn (no hippie- ness I don't think ...I was born a little late for that - I think she just liked the name)...which is kinda cool seeing as my name is translatable ...though I prfer being called Dawny :)

And...if I ever have a daughter I'm going to call her Aurora ...it means 'daughter of Dawn' and is Sleeping Beauty's real name ...plus it's a cool name

[moonlightjoy.livejournal.com]

Well, I can understand it somewhat... I took a few classes when I was little.. but my parents raised me to be a fluent English speaker. They didn't realize that you're supposed to learn a language starting when you're really little in order to master it. Oh well.. I know how to say a few phrases, and I actually know a lot more than a lot of my family members.

The official language is called "Filipino", though it is mainly derived from "Tagalog", which is the dialect spoken by people who live in the northern Philippines, where the capital is. My parents speak "Bisaya" which is a language spoken by many people who live in the central Philippines.

I saw your LJ drama percentage. that was funny. y'know, I've never been involved in drama on LJ? that's cos I keep my circles small and rarely participate in communities.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I like that... I sometimes think what kind of names I would give my kids, if I adopt. It would probably be Joaquin for a boy, and Jasmin for a girl. But I'm not sure.

Have you ever read Sheri S. Tepper's "Beauty"? It's the story of Sleeping Beauty travelling in time and ending up in our modern world. I didn't read it but I really want to - I think she's called Aurora in the book too.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Cool... it's amazing how a country can have so many different languages, or dialects, within it. Brazil is the same. Eventhough we all speak Portuguese, the accents and words can change depending on the region and the influence of particular immigrants in that area. The northeastern part of Brazil has a strong african influence whereas the south is more european.

It's too bad that I never managed to visit the Philippines while I lived in Asia. :)

Vixi Maria! Os dois sao de Aries? :P

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

I've made the mistake to get involved in a few of them, though I'm usually just the shoulder for people to cry on. :P

It was fun when I had loads of time on the net. Now I don't think it would be a good idea.
