Will definitely drop by your blog again.<br /><br />@AJ:<br /><br />I wish I could speak more Filipino languages, but alas, I only know 2. BTW, AJ is a nice name but to have a nickname similar to an up-and-coming Indian car company, Tata Motors, which now owns Jaguar and Land Rover, is also not bad. (Another BTW: Your blog is awesome! I especially enjoyed your article on your ancestral home!)<br /><br />@Boy B aka B-B:<br /><br />Thanks for sharing that funny story about the Racela brothers, but no, you may NOT call me Fil-Fil! It's an absolute NO-NO!

I remember how the Racela brothers (of Ateneo basketball and PBA fame) ended up being named Olsen, Nash and Wally. Olsen since he was born on All Saint's Day. Nash on National Heroes Day. And last but not the least, Wally, since he wasn't born on any special holiday ended up with the shorter version of "Wala Lang" <br />Mabuhay ka Fil-Fil!<br /><br />Boy B aka B-BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370906785269759264.post-17545181014214990002011-02-05T09:50:40.090-08:002011-02-05T09:50:40.090-08:00It's distinctly Pinoy to make cutesy baby nick...It's distinctly Pinoy to make cutesy baby nicks, even for their nether regions.

I used that image 2 1/2 years ago when I was new in blogging and don't know much about the "rules" in blogging...so I got that image from Google images and used it on my blog post without acknowledging the source (because I didn't know any better :-)<br />When I learned about "acknowledging images and image copyrights" I could no longer find the source of that image. So, just please delete the my blog URL .....it's quite unfair for me to be the source when I'm not. But I admire and respect you for your blogging ethics....Hope you could drop by my often and you could use ideas from my blog (of course no copying) and that's where you can cite me as one of your "inspirations" of a particular post.<br />God bless!I-Love-Hate-America.Comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02925822560610028883noreply@blogger.com
