Everyone in my Hiligaynon speaking family says "merisi" every time someone did something bad and is suffering the consequences of their actions. Today I learned that its etymology came from the Spanish word "merecer" meaning deserve. My family has been saying DASERV fo yrs. LMAO

She's sitting on a Butaka which is a Spanish era birthing chair by landed aristocrats but is often used for resting by hacienderos after roaming the plantation. This in the backdrop of a rich modern home, presumably in a 1st world country shows how we have only changed masters.

Her real name was 'Malitong Yawa Malitong Diwata.'
She was a fiercely strong and independent goddess who can take on both Saragnayan and Labaw Donggon in a fight.

Someone asked me again what penis is in Hiligaynon, to which I always answer:
"At what age and at what size?"
Puchorokoy- tiny infant's
Pitotoy- toddler's
Pisot- any penis uncircumcised
Pitoy- adult/regular size
Boto- adult/ more crass
Tarugo- beastlike, HUGE

So apparently at some point of decay, cadavers release a chemical Benzaldehyde which carries a cherry and almonds smell. The same chemical uses in perfumes and other product. So yes I guess I do smell like a morgue and that's hot.

Poetry in Hiligaynon is Binalaybay. It is a combination of balay and baybay. Baybay is writing (an allusion to waves-- beach is also baybay) while balay is house. So Binalaybay is like ginabalay ang baybay (structured words). Happy world poetry day!

Spaniards coopted the meaning of YAWA for they found the naked, tattooed local women, especially the "yawas" too provocative and impertinent
The yawa scandalized them. The exact opposite of the ideal submissive Catholic woman
They thought for sure they were possessed by demons

As a queer woman, medyo nawindang ako when we were antagonized by a house (mostly from Manila) for organizing a ball at our province during pride. Saying we cant call it a ball because we didnt ask permission from their house-- the only people who had vogueig training in the PH.
i remember the conversation about vogue-ing and authenticity - when young people in the global south grow up with a 'borrowed' form of art (in this case, dance) are their expressions less "authentic" than those who are practicing vogue in its birthplace?

This gross romanization of Negros feudalism is built upon the (breaking) backs of farmers and peasants they further oppress by exploiting their images.

Personally, if you call someone BOSSY, perhaps ask yourself:

Thinking about how in Hiligaynon: Katigulangan (ancestors) & Kagulangan (forest) has the root word Gulang (mature, aged, ripe). We refer to the distance of our ancestors by going lower into our body parts e.g. tita sa tuhod, lola sa dapa-dapa as if we are likened to roots, trees

YAWA is an adjective. During Philippines' precolonial period, it generally means beautiful, intelligent, and strong women. They take part in both domestic, agrarian, and political aspects in their tribes. Women who can lead the community and can be sent to battle.

I think it's important to say her full name because the name Malitong Yawa Malitong Diwata shows that she is both fierce and gentle.
Her real name was 'Malitong Yawa Malitong Diwata.'
In the Sugidanon, she is both an incredible warrior and a loving wife.

Imo, the ballroom is for everyone. It is a safe space for queer folks esp marginalized and displaced young queers looking for a place to belong in. It is not a place where we can standardize and gatekeep, it is a home we build wherever there is an LGBTQIA+ person that exists.

There's a Western Visayas legend about "mga bata sa talon". In principle, aswangs cannot eat children that are already dead so they would often steal the body of the child and put a glamour on a banana trunk to make it seem like the child. 2/n

Esp interested in the word: manol. Often used to show disdain over people who are overeager. I think it originates as an insult of the old rich haciendero class showing displeasure over the enthusiasm of the nouveau rich (merchant class) but I have no way of confirming yet.
so what do you think is the Tagalog word for manol? for gabà? for dungan?

Everyone in my Hiligaynon speaking family says "merisi" every time someone did something bad and is suffering the consequences of their actions. Today I learned that its etymology came from the Spanish word "merecer" meaning deserve. My family has been saying DASERV fo yrs. LMAO

The memories of merging bookshelves with a lover will ring the most vivid on the day your love ends. When packing your things, like plucking petals: separating your books from theirs.
Your book, my book
Your book, my book
Your book, my book
You love me, you love me not
there’s something romantic about the merging of bookshelves… yung question ay meron pa bang nagcocollect ng physical copies ng mga libro bilang space is a luxury?

Always see posts about "preserving" our Indigenous people's culture.
We tend treat Indigenous People's culture like a piece in a museum, a dead thing behind glass. It isn't.
It is not a question of preservation, it is the question of how we can help it continue to thrive.

The Hiligaynon word: LINTI is technically still a curse, depending on the context.
"Malintian ka" or even just "linti" is often used metaphorically nga "bad things will happen to you" as a result of your actions as a warning or as a threat.
But that's beside the point,

The Butaka chair is common when you visit the different ancestral houses in Negros and Iloilo
Noting also that if the chair has a crown, it's the one used for birthing.
Meanwhile if it's flat, it's for the rich ass hacienderos who use it for resting.
