Interested to Learn the Cebuano Lingo?

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

Proud that I am of my first language which is Cebuano, I would like this language to be known to everyone, and spur interest to those who aren’t familiar about it. For that matter, I will be devoting a page solely for learning Cebuano. You can click English – Cebuano page for updates.

Note:
I will only put which doesn’t have a tagalog equivalent. Tagalog is one of the official languages in the Philippines, the other one is English.

For example:
English – Cebuano
Monday – Lunes – Lunes is no longer necessary since it has an equivalent in tagalog.

Sunday – Dominggo – In tagalog, it’s Linggo. That would be the last tagalog word here. Remember, this is exclusively for English – Cebuano learning *winks*.

Before I start, I thank and give credit to C.S. Canonigo, the writer of the book English – Cebuano Made Easy. I purchased the book at Book Sale. I based this tutorial on that book.

Ok, let’s start!

Pronuciation guidance:

u can be pronounced as o in ursula
i can be pronounced as e in illiterate

Xerxes was so renowned that he filled practically all the world history books including the Bible, my much loved book. Although in the Bible, Xerxes is not portrayed as the modern Hitler, but the king’s assistant named Haman, whom the Bible described as “the enemy of the Jews.” (more…)

Online Livelihood Part One

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

Want to make a living online? This is not a get rich quick scheme just in case you’re looking for one.

There are a lot of money-making avenue around the internet, some are legitimate and some are the exact opposite. So how to avoid the latter? Based on my own experience is I join community forums for webmasters, affiliates, web designers. I read news sites, blogs, articles. Lastly, certainly not the least: Google, there you can find practically everything about sites that offer you ways to earn dollars, in the same way, you can search for greedy, selfish scam sites that will do nothing, but purge all of your savings.

First that i would recommend is (more…)
