The importance of language is essential to every aspect and interaction. It propels everyday life and keeps us in touch with one another. Through many historical instances, we have developed further insight into increasing our ability in the way of language by telegrams, post, telephone, e-mail, instant messaging and text messaging. People talk in some form everyday whether it be calling a friend to check on them or catching up on different online forums. Language is used to inform the people around us of our different feelings, desires and questions. Through the years, people have been making a list of new vocabulary on the board. Demands on our time have become bigger because of this rise in talking and so we shorten words and sentences. People have become inconvenienced by how much explaining there is and so “slang” is born. These are alternative words or phrases that express either something new or...

...Bekimon: A fresh take on Pinoy gay lingo [pic]By Karen Flores, abs-cbnNEWS.com MANILA, Philippines - Fair-skinned and well-groomed Bern Josep Persia may be the new face of the gay-speaking community, being the self-proclaimed bekimonpresident in the country. A photographer and a tech support representative, Persia plays different roles (from a call center agent to a newscaster) in a series of videos aboutbekimons, defined as people who are "hard-core users" of gay language -- whether they are homosexuals or not. Most of the terms that bekimons commonly use are alterations of basic Filipino and English words such as workibells (work), kalurkey (kaloka or crazy), teh (ate or sister), anekwaboom (ano or what) and heller (hello). Others are totally unique -- from the popular jowa (spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend) to names of showbiz figures such as Carmi Martin (a term used to refer to karma). The term bekimon (beki is a colloquial word for "gay") took off from the growing popularity of the jejemon subculture, which refers to those who deliberately exaggerate ordinary words by adding or subtracting letters, or by using a mixture of upper-case and lower-case letters, in written communication. On Monday, jejemon was chosen as Salita ng Taon (Word of the Year) in the Sawikaan 2010, an academic conference organized by the Filipinas Institute of Translation Inc. (Read story here.)

...One in two Filipino women are users of skin whitening products. This is what marketing research company Synovate claimed in 2004 (Spickard and Rondilla 79). Ten years later, a documentary entitled ‘Dark Girls’ came out with interviews from dark skinned people of different ages, talking about the pursuit for lighter skin. One interviewee gave his opinion on African women’s desire for lighter complexion, going on to say: […] most of the women wants [sic] to have, cause what they see on TV over there, lighter skinned women with nice hair and all of that stuff-so some of them want, want to be like that, so that’s why, some of them bleach their skin, cause they think the lighter their skin is, the [more] chances they have to actually one day be on TV, or get noticed by people, so they think bleaching their skin or lighter skin, is much, much better than dark skin. (Duke and Chansin) The issue being described is not only present among those belonging to African-American community (Herring 3), but the Filipino, and general Asian community as well (Dychiu 87). Given this, mass media should use its influence to help lessen instead of perpetuate occurrences of colorism in Philippine society. In order to have a clearer understanding of mass media, it must first be defined. By definition, a medium is a form of disemminating knowledge, and a mass is a large amount of people. Put together, mass media is a term that covers different forms of communicating knowledge and information to...

...Introduction The main objective of this research is to state the effects of pop music (and music videos) to overall well being of children and teens. This paper will focus on the negative side, on two major fields: Behavior (including health) and Interpersonal relations. I picked 10 current Pinoy music videos of varied genres. I formulated a mini questionnaire and let random children and teens answer it. It took me almost 3 weeks to gather information and make conclusions. I chose to do a research on the effects of listening and watching pop music/music videos because me, myself is an avid listener and viewer of pop music. It will be much easier for me to do a research if I choose a topic, which is very relatable/close to my heart and to my being. And also, the reading assigned to me in the class, which is an experiment to pop music video viewers and its effects to gender and sexuality of teenagers, influenced me to do this paper. Below is the actual survey questionnaire that I gave to 8-20 year old children and teens, to be followed by an explanation of why I chose those kinds of questions. Questionnaire 1. State your gender: _____M _____F 2. Age range: _____5-12 _____13-25 _____26-30 3. Do you watch music videos? _____Yes _____No 4. How often do you watch music videos? _________Hours 5.

...Mid Finals I. Age of Exploration The Age of Exploration or Age of Discovery as it is sometimes called, officially began in the early 15th century and lasted until the 17th century. The period is characterized as a time when Europeans began exploring the world by sea in search of trading partners, new goods, and new trade routes. In addition, some explorers set sail to simply learn more about the world. Whatever their reasons though, the information gained during the Age of Exploration significantly helped in the advancement of geographic knowledge. Reasons for Exploration and Key Voyages Though the desire to simply explore the unknown and discover new knowledge is a typical human trait, the world's famous explorers often lacked the funding needed for a ship, supplies, and a crew to get underway on their journeys. As a result, many turned to their respective governments which had their own desires for the exploration of new areas. Many nations were looking for goods such as silver and gold but one of the biggest reasons for exploration was the desire to find a new route for the spice and silk trades. When the Ottoman Empire took control of Constantinople in 1453, it blocked European access to the area, severely limiting trade. In addition, it also blocked access to North Africa and the Red Sea -- two very important trade routes to the Far East. The first of the journeys associated with the Age of Discovery were conducted by the Portuguese under Prince Henry the Navigator...

...The Truth About Philippine Mangoes 04/12/2011 by Vanjo Merano What is the first thing that comes in your mind when you hear the word “Mango”? If you will ask me that question, the first thing that I think of is the Philippines. In my opinion, I can say, Without any doubt, that the best mangoes that the world has ever tasted came from the Philippines. I know people from other mango producing countries will question my statement. However, I am confident to say that there is no other mango out there that can beat Philippine mangoes in terms of sweetness, sourness, size, and weight. I tried almost all the imported mango varieties here in the US — including local mangoes. They all taste different from the original Philippine Mango. There are even varieties here that says “Manila Mangoes” in the sticker, but the taste does not say so. There are many mango varieties in the Philippines. Champagne mango or Carabao mango is probably the most famous in terms of taste. This mango variety is the sweetest mango that I ever tasted. It is also the mango variety that the Philippines export to other countries. There are different strains (breed) produced from Carabao mango — one of which is called Sweet Elena. If I am not mistaken, this breed originated somewhere in Zambales. Sweet Elena mango is the sweetest that I ever had. It is probably the sweetest mango in the world. There are also the well loved Cebu and Guimaras mangoes which are of world class quality. Filipinos enjoy eating mango...
