    ngl PLV statement on the Ama Namin thing kinda make sense to me. i get that it could be interpreted as ridicule or mockery but at least from the video it really looks like everyone’s just having a good time

    idk but if i were almighty all-powerful omnipotent everything i’d be sad if my followers would boring sluggish lame af when they worship my name lmao

    imagine all the bangers and bops written in your name and your followers draw the line at drag + punk rock wtf is up with that. Gregorian chants are a few notes away from sounding like devilish incantations

    TIL of Silbo Gomero (informally called Silbo), a whistling language originating from La Gomera, part of the Canary Islands under Spanish rule.

    Silbo/Sylbo language in action (link).

    While the community of La Gomera speak Spanish, Silbo is a required subject for La Gomera students, and considered a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. They had to resort to such communication as the terrain (mostly ravines and valleys) usually made direct, face-to-face communication inconvenient and impractical. Think of it this way: going to your neighbor the next mountain over for some juicy Maritess time is tiring, so might as well whistle it instead!

    The Silbo language was almost made extinct due to advancements in technology, but thankfully, government intervention has kept the language alive and well, albeit a small fraction of the whole Spanish population only using it (Canary Islands).

    The whistled language replaces each vowel or consonant with a whistling sound: two distinct whistles replace the five Spanish vowels, and there are four whistles for consonants.

    Although the Silbo language is basically Spanish converted to whistle, according to the teacher in the youtube video linked above, theoretically one can use their own language. Just apply the necessary phonetic/audio rules (sorry don’t know the exact term) and you’re golden.

    Absolutely fascinating language based on sounds alone!

    Have a great weekend mga Phlemmings.

    whistles Magbalik intro in Silbo

    EDIT: Holy Shit, Turkey also has such a language! It’s called kuş dili literally Turkish Bird Language.

    Vice has a mini-documentary on the subject. I’ve gotta say parang ibon talaga.

    Absolutely fascinating.

      Nice. Looks thicker than default Calibri. LMAO kung kailan nag Calibri ang US Government, that’s when Aptos is released.

      Parang mas maganda tignan ung sans serif Aptos vs. Serif Aptos

          And is that a bad thing? The womb is a dark, warm, and comforting place. A place for us to get ready for the bright wide world outside.

              Sorry to hear that. Getting stuck is bad, but getting stuck at a bad place is way a lot worse.

              I guess that’s your destination for the time being then: anywhere but there.

              Preferably, someplace where you can take a rest and take stock of what’s happening. Someplace where you can figure out what to do next. Kung baga, kung naulan sa labas at hindi maka-tuloy ng commute, pasok muna sa nearest fastfood or convenience store, bili ng cup noodles at siopao, mag-isip. (Nagka-cravings tuloy ako bigla, lol!)

                  But seriously, mejo joke, pero parang ganun ata talaga eh. Kung naliligaw ka, sige lang, hanap ng tindahan sa kanto, convenience store, o di kaya fastfood. Kumain, pahinga ng konti, o di kaya kahit na tambay lang muna habang nag-iisip ng kung anong gagawin.

                  Bonus points na yung mainitan ang pakiramdam mo, pampawala ng sakit sa sikmura at gutom, at yung makapagpapagaan ng pakridamdam—kahit na malabnaw yung sabaw at puro tinapay ang siopao.

    Good Morning! Happy weekend. Ingat kayo dearest strangers and yeah skip below (Edit 2: humaba na haha) Sharing lang while waiting sa aking reward - MI7!!! Pahinga - we deserve it. ♥️

    =====

    Nalulungkot ako kasi kahapon natapos ko na yung last tasks ko sa isang stretch project sa work. 2 months din nagtagal. Said my goodbyes na din sa manager nila at sa pinakanakaclose kong lead nila. Mamimiss ko may makawork na mga fellow PH.

    =====

    Edit 2: I edited this again, balik ko lang yung tinanggal ko hehe, at least yung essence. De wala lang kasi, kanina kasi sa Mall, habang hinihintay ko yung movie, Taylor Swift songs yung pinapatugtog. Minsan lang kasi ibang klase magbiro yung universe. 😄 And yeah, movie’s great, btw, a complete movie. Just a hair step down from 6, but I liked more where they went with the story in 7 this time.

    =====

    P.S.: I’ll just quietly say goodbye to everyone, too… Ayaw ko na kasi magnotify. Yung paglalagi ko dito and sa kabila na rin since 3 months ago really helped me a lot, big time. Thank you everyone - I really won’t login using this account again (and maybe not be back at all na), but yeah, I will keep my profiles up back here and there as a memento. I also owe some thanks and sorry’s in real life too - hope I can muster enough courage to resolve those offline soonest.

    Lastly, I think I will write more as myself in real life. Before I finally go, iwan ko lang rin 'to as my farewell song to you all and especially to all the people I have loved in my life, kasi “July na.” 😁

    “'Di magsasawa, 'di magbabago. 'Di maghahanap ng pag-ibig na papalit sa puso ko. Ganyan (ka) sana, dahil ganyan ako. Laging tapat at laging totoo.”

    Always true, always genuine 👊. Salamat dearest strangers - we have a great crowd here now. I’ll be missing you all and the stories you have been sharing here, but it’s time for me to go now. See you at the movies! ❤️
