Bakas

Bakas in the Filipino language means print, mark, trace, trail or vestige. This blog, then, records all those that left their marks or my impressions on anything under the sun :)

German class graduates

It feels so good to finally graduate :)
But it;s not the end of German language course for me of four other
classmates at the FSI. We will all pursue higher German courses at
the Goethe Institut in Makati next year.
At the same time, four of us were also accepted at FSI's French
language course. Could we be as good as we were in German? It
remains to be seen. I hope so :)

    =========
    T.L. AKO SA 'YO
    By: Cinderella


    Ewan ko ba kung bakit type kita
    = I don't know why I like you
    'Di ka naman guwapo
    = You're not even handsome
    Kahit malabo ang pagpili ko
    = but even if my choice is doubtful
    T.L. ako sa 'yo
    = I am really in love with you.

    II.
    Panay kantiyaw ng mga utol ko
    = My siblings are constantly teasing me
    Dehins ka daw bagay sa kagandahan ko
    = They say that you’re not a match to my beauty
    Malabo na ba raw ang mata ko
    = They ask if my eyesight is blurred
    At na-T.L. kita
    = that I’ve fallen in love with you.

    Refrain:
    Ganyang liku-liko (Kalyeng liku-liko, in other
    songbooks)
    = Given that zigzagged/curvy (zigzagged road)
    Ang takbo ng isip ko
    = is the track of my mind
    Sabi ng lolo
    = Grandpa says
    May toyo ang utak ko
    = My brain is damaged
    Sabi ng lola
    = Grandma says
    Ay humanap ng iba
    = that I find another one
    May porma't mayaman
    = elegant and rich
    T.L. wala naman
    = but without true love.

    III.
    Ewan ko ba kung bakit type kita
    'Di ka naman guwapo
    Kahit malabo ang pagpili ko
    T.L. ako sa 'yo
    Repeat Refrain:
    Repeat III.

    T.L. ako sa 'yo
    Ikaw ang true love ko
    = You’re my true love
