LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 😂🤣😅

J'ai décidé qu'il était pape (il est vêtu de blanc et il crie "Léon")

Anyway, I’m off. I was so triggered by someone’s comment I had to build the defences. A fortaleza/fuerte.

In my thoughts you are dead to me when you delegitimise us and call us fake. Hello, colonialism and imperialism happened?!

Notice the traditional pre-WWII pronunciation of Philippine Spanish:

Filipinas es un nido Formado de hermosas flores, Es un idlio de amores Sobre un mar embravecido; Es el delirio querido Que mi cerebro obsesiona; Es la impávida matrona Que heredera de titanes, Tiene por solio volcanes Y centellas por corona. [Fernando Guerrero]

Posting this, another Latin Asian creole language, for comparison.

This is the 8th Philippine language that The Little Prince has been translated in. The 3rd pic shows all 8 of them: Kapampangan, Bikol, Chavacano, Ilokano, Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), Cebuano, Waray-Waray, & Tagalog.

*whispers* Mi madre

El chabacano es una lengua criolla del español. Sobrevive sobre todo en Zamboanga (Filipinas), y nació en el SXV del intercambio entre población española colonizadora, mexicana llevada allí y filipina nativa. Es curioso oírla porque "casi" la entiendes, pero nope. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qNC...

And no, I do not descend from a family of witches. Piss off.

Fuera mal de ojo, fuera envidia. *open and closes left palm in the air thrice* Cinco, cinco, cinco. 🧿🪬

Yep.

Cabrón de mierrrrrrrrrdaaaaaaaa!!! LECHE KA

Just give me a moment to replay all these Spanish, Portuguese, Tagalog, Catalan, Galician, and Mandarin telenovela scenes in my head. They all feel so real now!!!

“Me cago en la leche” means “It’s a lovely day, and “Fóllame más suave, por favor” means “This caldereta is delicious”.

Add “leche” (like “pinche” in Mexican Spanish) to make it even more elegant and graceful! You can say: -Leche puto/a -Leche bruja/o -Leche cabrón/a -Leche borracho/a -Leche pendejo/a -Leche carajo/a -Leche tonto/a -Leche gago/a Also, “mala leche” means “you’re beautiful”

Let’s just say I was also reprimanded for being a partial Philippine Spanish Creole speaker:

Me getting classified a heritage learner of Spanish in college and being put into the native speakers/heritage learners class, then daring to use English:

*sings in Philippine Spanish Creole* #venganza

I didn't want to correct them right there that Chavacano as a creole language is distinct from codeswitching between Spanish, Tagalog, and Cebuano. Totally different grammar.

Whew, Tornatrás people in gated communities LMAOOO 😂

Where the fuck do you think I learnt to play mahjong? The local country club? No, I was watching the titas banter away in Cebuano whilst chain smoking, listening to Los Peces en el Río on the radio, and nibbling on roasted oranges and dumplings. That is now I spent my Christmases as a child.

No, you don’t need to segregate people or enforce apartheid. Absolutely not. But you do need to educate. Cross-pollination and cultural exchange are good, but it cannot exploit; it must be respectful and just. Willful ignorance is no excuse when you have communities to transmit knowledge and certify

Being back in France makes me miss spending as much time in Europe as I did during my dissertation work. I have friends in multiple countries I could stay with, I just need to get back to this continent more often.
